I had a '92 Nissan D21 truck. I bought it in 2015 with 120k miles for $2000 in great condition. Drove it another 150k miles, only needed to replace the starter, shocks and struts, and a battery (with other regular maintenance of course). Sold it two years later for $2000. One of the best trucks I’ve ever had.
You must have missed the donut shop “pop in”
