About 2 years ago I needed to find a cheap reliable replacement for my son's dead Ford Ranger. All the used imports were priced too high. I researched Consumer Reports repair frequency stats, and determined that the mid-to-late 90s Crown Vics compared favorably to the better imports. We found a '97 that was being sold ($2100 with about 120K on the clock) so the PO could buy a Pious. Nice car, gets 18 around town and 24 on the highway. My cousins in New Jersey say you can get 2-3 bodies in the trunk to bring out to the Pine Barrens.
I liked it so much that I looked for another for me. Got a '95 loaded LX for $1450 with 105K on the clock. All service records complete. Leather (no, NOT MBtex) climate control, digital dash, Rear Air Suspension, tow package and dual exhaust. It's a decent ride and a great highway cruiser.

I want to find something as late model as possible, and ideally a small pickup with a crew cab, Nissan preferred. If it's a car I need something that can carry stuff, like a small crossover or a Subaru Forester or something similar. No old MBs or fixer-uppers. I need this to be ready to go, reliable transportation. Suggestions (realistic ones, that is) are welcome.
