I have driven to Texas from Indiana to buy an old m37 military truck. It was not a deal but available at fair price.

Now the best deal on a vehicle was a 1985 Chevy Chevette. I bought it from my grandfathers neighbor for $250 when I was in collage and drove it 27000 miles before I got rid of it. Cheap to drive, 13" wheels and tires were $25 each. Hood thick enough halling deer on it was not a problem just had to put the head and neck on the driver's side so I could see over it.


Best truck was my old 94 Toyota sr5 4x4 I bought for 3750 drove it 7 years and over 200k getting rid of it at over 320k.

Last year I drove a few hours to look at a Ford excape for my daughter and it was rusted out on the under side nothing left holding the pasanger side rear spring hanger so now im gun shy about going to far to look at things.

I'm in pa and most older stuff is rusty. I'm planning on looking in the southern states for my next new used truck.

Driving to 8 hours one-way to VA next month to pick up a Honda Civic.

Bought every car I ever drove within 10 miles of my house. I never shopped for stuff on the internet.
Do you tow it back yourself once you decide to buy it?
