Okay guys, it's getting time where I need to sell my beloved '94 2.3 4x4 & get something that isn't as rusty.
The good news is that I've come across a 2000 (I think) Mazda B2500 2wd with a stick (regular cab & XLT trim) with a bad engine (the shop says the #4 cylender had a hole in it) with about 180,000 on the chassis for $500.
Here's what I'm thinking: I've had a guy offer me $3500 (TWICE!) for my truck, so I'll sell him that, buy the Mazda, and put a new or reman engine & clutch in it for $1500.
I'll still have $1500 left over for other stuff like new tires & rust repair if needed.
The bottom line is should I do this?
