Thoughts on a cheap reliable vehicle?

[Amart88]

Anyone have any experiences of cheap reliable vehicles? Preferably easy on gas. Used.

Looking for a beat around town daily driver. The blazer is not very practical for some things or sitting in a public lot all day.

Open to any suggestions or experiences. Looking to spend no more than 1500$

Off topic,

If I had some more money I would love to get a fast car. Older mustang or something similar. Dreams...

Pains me to say it, but I can't get my wife's Saturn's to take a shit on me and it's not for lack of trying. Only maintenance I have done in the last 75k miles is oil changes, still runs like a top

I was in the same position as you a few months ago, I was lookin for a late 90's-early 00's reg cab silverado for under $5k so I wouldn't have to drive my walled f150 everywhere but I ended up getting a '13 sierra crew cab lol

Pontiac is a solid choice. The 3.8 v6 is a strong motor. I have a 99 Hyundai Accent with a 160,000 and is still going strong, but slow as fuk. Getting 36+mpgs.

Jeep XJ Cherokee, Cheap, Easy to maintain, Runs forever, Just change the oil.

92-99 Cherokees XJ

Don't go for 84-90 Cherokees, Renix Sucks. Just make sure its a I6 4.0L Engine, and you should be fine.

x2 on the 3800 except when the coolant hasn't been changed regularly and the stock piece of shit dexcool chemically breaks down and starts to eat away at the intake manifold gaskets. my monte has that motor and its sipping on the coolant. which reminds me, i gotta check the overflow and top it off LOL. plus some of the transmissions attached to the 3800's are complete trash, like the 4t65e which is what mine has. 3rd gear is almost nonexistent because of the slow ass shifts when the fluid is warm/hot. a shift kit firmed it up though but its still bad sometimes.

edit: dat torque doe on the 3800. i love it lol. i break the front tires loose at a red light sometimes on accident with almost 160k miles.

Thanks for all the input fellas.

Yeah, If it lasts me a couple of years for that cheap of a car than it would be worth it.
