Hey all, looking to get some sound advice from a forum where users actually have a basic mechanical knowledge and aren't 17 year old 'experts' who gained their expertise from YouTube.
I recently inherited a '14 Yaris with 5k on it. While it's a nice car and I am greatly appreciative that it was given to me, it is plainly impractical for my intended usage, and very uncomfortable to drive for over an hour due to it's size.
My situation: I am a college student currently, commuting. I also have a mildly modified 05 Crown Vic in impeccable shape with 56k I consider my 'garage toy.' Living at home, space is not an issue.
Looking to sell the Yaris, which from what I have seen for my local private sale market, can sell for 8-10k with it's current 8,000 miles. Thinking of getting a smaller pickup truck, toying with the idea of a early-mid 2000's Toyota Tundra or Tacoma in the lower 100,000 mi range. 4WD is of great usefulness living in northern MA with long winters + heavy snowfall.
Any tips, advice or suggestions are welcome.
Thank you,
