I'm not very worried about cosmetics but I'd want a clean title.
All I'm really looking for is something pretty reliable.
If you have a good place online that you usually look that you could recommend me, or if you know of one for sale that I could get for less than $13k cash I'd be very interested!
If you could give me some advice for haggling that would be amazing too.
Thanks!
I appreciate any info!

Look for 100k-120k miles, well maintained, older drivers as pervious owners. I’ve seen these on the road with over 280k miles on the clock. Of course, the question, how much did they spend along the way to get to that kind of mileage? The engine and drivetrain are legendary for lasting. But electrical gremlins, headlight issues, etc., do pop up (forgive the pun), so be prepared. Best wishes

It was in very good shape, but I've done a lot to it since then.
Found it on facebook marketplace, bargains are out there, just have to be patient and keep watching.
