Jeff's new car

Jeff has been searching for about a year for a vehicle because we can't all fit in his tiny truck and to pick up anything with the following criteria:

• needs to fit all four of us including the big carseats



• needs to have a cargo area for hauling stuff



• needs to be reliable and decent gas mileage



• needs to not require a lot of maintenance



• needs to be cheap so we can pay cash



• needs to be an automatic so I can drive it (yeah, I know I need to learn a stick someday)

That's not too much to ask right :) Well, he finally found a winner with a 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser. It's old which worries me but it has a new engine and lots of other upgrades. It's not very good gas mileage but Jeff doesn't drive much and we usually take my Jeep when we go places. He got it for only $3000 then the people who we bought it from wanted to buy his truck for $1200 so that made the land cruiser super cheap! Plus we didn't have to try to sell the truck ...score!
