I'm looking for a cheap and RELIABLE daily driver. My dad owns a car dealer and just got a 90 2 door, 4.3 auto, with 176,000 and I can get it for about $700-800. The body is straight, but paint is faded, but I can get it painted really cheap, just a little over the cost of materials. The engine is smoking blue a little, its gonna get checked out by the mechanic. If the engine is bad, about how much would a used one cost? Trans and suspension seem to be fine. Interior is average, gotta fix headliner (cheap) and get some seat covers. So if I had to change the engine I think it would come out to about $1500 for the truck with new paint. Is this a good deal?
Anyone here have one with this many miles? What else should I look for that could be bad? Thanks, Rob.
