I'm at a point in my life where I will be essentially living out of my car/couch surfing (gotta do what you gotta do to pay tuition). I'm looking at things in the $1000-1500 range.
Things I'm looking at:
-Jeep Cherokee XJ 4.0L
-Nissan Pathfinder
-Toyota 4-Runner (tend to command a higher price, sadly)
-Isuzu Rodeo (maybe a Troopah)
-Mitsu Montero
My requirements:
-Large enough for a 6'1 male to lie flat in and hold a small amount of belongings
-Able to go anywhere, I'd like to do some desert trekking over the summer.
-Easy to work on/available and cheap parts (semblance of reliability would be good, too)
Any other suggestions? Finding data on 20 year old SUVs is tough, interior volume is my biggest concern at this point. I'd kill for an 80s Land Cruiser, but prices are up there.
