I looked at used Frontiers the other day. Sweet Fanny Adams! They sure
are proud of them. I'd like to get a '19 or '20 "King Cab" (not 4 door like yours). But, Hay-soos Key-risto, the prices. A three year old
(2019) Frontier w/85,000 miles was priced at $19,290 (stick shift) and $23,360 (automatic) but only 45,000 miles. Considering that the average "sticker" for the 2019 was <U$20K ..... someone is trying to perpetrate
a rip-off.

My 22 year old minivan (Smashy) gave up the ghost a couple days ago.
Well the brake line snapped. There's not enough metal left to get the
van in the air so she's off to the junk yard with WORKING a/c.

Couldn't jack it on an axle or A-frame? Brake lines are a PITA even when everything is "right".

I bought a 2010 (New eh? LOL) Ford Escape XLT with the 4 cyl engine and the 5 speed manual transmission. $3995 but it already has 327k klms on it. Everything is so over priced right now it's crazy. With luck I'll pick it up soon. It's getting certified, new windshield, and body work done to it now. (Dealer is repairing a wheel well, and some rust spots
I asked him to).

My Beemer is a '10 w/230K miles (370K KM) and I expect it to be the last
car I'll buy. No rust and mechanically sound. Change the oil every 10K
miles (when BMW says to, BTW) and fix little glitches as they appear
(not often).

Other good news - made it through a pre interview and to the second
stage of the process to get into a company driving accessable vehicle
for an hourly wage. No more taxi hacking. Fingers crossed.

I have a Sunday gig taking old folks from the senior living residence(s)
to various churches. Then picking them up after services to take them
back to the facility or to a local restaurant for a brunch buffet. As a
"perk" the restaurant comps by meal.

Takes me the rest of Sunday to get the aromas of Maybelline face powder
and Apple Spice perfume out of my nostrils, though.

When I put the tires on it 2 years ago he told me then, he'd never get
it in the air again. Took him 45 mins just to lift it. Yes they are
a pain and probably would have cost me a fortune anyway as once you
touch one of them they all turn to dust.

I looked it up and Ford wants the oil changed every 5 thousand klms.
That's fine I only drive about that or less a year anyway. When you
don't have to drive to Toronto every day you don't rack up the klms.

That's a nice perk for sure!

Laugh, I understand that. I used to drive taxi Sunday's and it would take until wednesday to air out the cab. hahaha
