(I know this thread was originally about the untouched statue of our Lady at the La Palma ash fields, so I kinda feel bad talking about cars.....)
But yes, I'm looking at old Toyota Landcruisers, before the computer insertion in 1996. Very, very expensive. I just want to be able to "move" when they pull the kill switch. 
BTW my son has some special kind of 5 speed 2013 Tacoma that is worth more today than when he bought it used in 2017.

Have you used the used car search engine (pun intended) on edmunds.com?
Pick your model and year and it does a national search. There are other such sites, e.g., autotrader.com.

We are adding a new driver to our family next week, so, if I return to work in January as I hope, we'll need yet another car.

Unless we win the lottery (bought a ticket today), I'd like a pre-OBD Tacoma or a VW TDI Diesel. Bodeens advice may push me towards a 2010-2014 Taco.

We filled up the diesel today at $4/gallon. :( Luckily we get about 40mpg.

I was astonished at how expensive used cars are. In looking locally (I shopped for 3-4 months for our last car purchase) I found high mileage Tacos costing more than the price of new vehicles when I last looked only 2 years ago,

The push is on. They want to micro-manage our lives in every way.

(((They))) don't want Josefa, Kaz, Dig, or me to be away when (((they))) visit. :laugh2:



Ha, ha, ha, I won this time. I caught the character substitution in the link before it "shut me down."

Regular gas here in my part of Canuckistan or Chinadah, (I am being snarky), is 139.9 per litre of gas. Times that x 4 to get your gallon price! Diesel? I think it is is sitting at 147.9 per litre of gas. Again, times that x4 to get your gallon price. The semi-drivers here are hating it.
