good luck getting 15 mpg. i have the same problem, but by the end of this summer ill finally have enough money to buy a beater civic. thats your best bet. they are all over ebay. and try craigslist. other than that. diesel would be your only way to go.

my problem is i only got about $2500

ahh. but you see if you look around hard enough you can find them cheap. im buying the civic for $1,200, but i have seen plenty others for cheaper. like geo metros. 45mpg, lots of cheap aftermarket parts. and most of them you find are less than $2,000. if you search you will find. believe me they are out there. and don't look for pretty. look for reliable. if it has a bad exterior but low miles or a clean vehicle history report. buy it. spend the rest of your money on the k5.

and if you find a beater that has a bad transmission or bad motor, chances are that they are cheap to fix. most rebuilt motors from the factory for imports are less than $1,000.

i would really like a truck
i would like to find a toyota with a 22r or something like that

walk down to the chevy house, tell them u want a new truck, get the GMAC and have 275 month payments and get over 20 miles per gallon, or go with a car. so its lower insurance.

that would work. sorry. didnt mean a just are car. there are plenty of s-10s. mazda b2000, and toyotas out there. but they are a little bit more.
