Its for wife and kids, daily driver. We live outskirts of a large metro, so driving is a must. Previous car was same I asked about before: 2001 Buick Park Ave ultra.

I'm looking for something budget but not beater, puddle jumping cheap. I don't mind doing some mechanical work, but I'd rather not have to crack open major areas of an engine - replacing some pulleys, pumps, and that sort of thing isn't too bad. So I would want something relatively easy to work on.

Sounds like I am looking for the every-persons-dream car, LOL!

Anyways, any suggestions for a make/model to keep an eye out for? TIA

5 to 10 year old Toyota tend to be a safe bet till the small parts become unobtainable. I am looking for my last vehicle, looking for a rust free 1960-1980 Chevy or Ford 3/4 or 1 ton truck. Parks are available, easy to work on and comfortable on the increasingly crappy roads.
