I don't mean to be alarming, but please guys, don't let your heart rule your heads when buying,or selling a beloved vehicle. I recently bought a hilux. And we all know the stories. Get a good one and it's great, get a bad one and it's a money pit. I sold my old truck and replaced it with a newer version which broke and now owes me over three grand. Check em out carefully before you part with your cash.
Or at least get a warranty !

Ah yes we've all heard the stories, you can buy a Hilux for Ford Escort money but expect Supercar running costs, it being such a high performance complex vehicle and all!

At least buying a lemon is better than killing some innocent child in a frenzied bout of road rage and then killing yourself.
