We have two cars Im trying to decide which one would be more reliable to keep. I don't have an any money to get something else, but whatever I choose needs to accommodate my 6 month old daughter. What do you think?
2000 Ford Focus ZTS, 4dr, Auto, 118,000mi
This has been a lemon, currently right now there isn't anything mechanically wrong just cosmetically, ac is broken I have a leak in my compressor, I have some electrical problem causing the trunk button, door locks, interior lights, wiper settings, and cd player do not work properly. And someone slid on ice into the driver and passenger side door making it look ugly.
or
1992 Toyota 4runner, V6, 5 speed, 4wd
We bought this with the insurance money from the accident above. We were totally lied to by the seller, and have really learned our lesson, he told us the mileage was 95,000 which is super low and that itd never been in an accident, blah blah blah, well turns out the odometer has been tampered and the mileage is unknown (possibly 190,000 mi) it has a Rebuilt Salvage title. Currently there isn't anything mechanically wrong with it, it may need a new radiator in the near future and tires. It has typical old wear and tear. Cosmetically it has some really ugly rust damage under the doors, but the rust is no where under the truck or in the bolts and stuff. The timing belt was changed in 02, and because of a head gasket recall it was changed in 02 (toyota dealer told us based on vin).
Anyways both seem to be running good now of course the Ford is a lot newer and lower miles. So what do you think?
Griffin- First do you know how to read? There are not any safety issue with either car. There is only cosmetic issues! Also some people in this world dont have the money to fork out on the newer nicer cars, and a lot of people cant afford car payments, and I am one of them, do you just sit on here all day and rudely answer everyones questions!
Iwvelez- I have been considering that, the Ford I could get like $1000 if I am lucky and the 4runner $2200, if I am lucky, so any suggestions on a reliable car for those prices? Thanks.
