Buying a $1000 beater pickup for economy
I need to buy a pickup for a 2nd vehicle that will get used almost exclusively during the winter when I keep my Geo Metro in the garage out of the salt.
....
(I already have a 2000 Windstar 3.8 cargo that gets better mileage than that - its just that a Metro 5-door and a mini van overlap too much... Of course I drive the van 100% in the winter salt months.)
....
Would also be open to cheap mods that would pay for themselves.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

So the Metro is a red herring and the truck is to complement the Windstar?
What uses would you put it to?
Why not put the USD1K in the Windstar and double its gas mileage?
