[QUOTE]Originally posted by Black 02 SS: [QB] 22re pick up should be reliable and rather cheap to maintain. Replacement parts at the local auto parts stores don't cost too much and replacement motors are a dime a dozen. I've never worked on one but have heard second hand that they'r relatively easy to work on. The closest I can vouch is my uncle's 1992 he bought brand new and is still kicking 300k miles later. EDIT: Personally, I have an 06 Accord V6 as a DD. I would find a 03-07 V6 coupe in manual if you can. Mine is a six speed sedan but those would fall out of your price range. Also look for a 02-03 CL Type S in manual (J32A1 motor, I believe) with lower miles. I also have a 1992 SC400 that is just about to turn 180k and still runs better than many cars half its age but it also has had all its maintenance issues addressed by previous owners so I am lucky in that regard. I previously owned a 1996 SC300 with the 2JZGE motor (non turbo 3.0) and those are bulletproof as well as long as you take care of the maintenance. Both SC's (I6 and V8) would get shitty mileage though. I averaged about 18-21MPG in my SC300 in mixed driving. [/QB][/QUOTE]
