RE: cars
If you want a 4X4 and decent gas milage i would look at a jeep cherokee, you can get the older ones for around $1000-$2500, but look under it and check the floor boards cause they are very prone to rust, especially ones from a climate with snow, all the salt will really do a number on the floor boards. I have an 89 cherokee with 3 inch lift and 31X10.50 tires, it was only $1400 lift and tires included and after i replaced a few parts it runs good.

If you want something smaller and quick, get an S10. Mine has the V6 4.3L and is plenty quick and has the benefit of a pickup box so I can haul stuff. It is a 2WD and I get 18 to 19 MPH in town and about 24 on the highway. It cost me $3000 and only had 62,000 miles on it.

isuzu rodeo " suv" or isuzu pup " pickup" we had an 87 pup with a 4 banger, 5 speed, 4x4 and got 24mpg. Great running truck and very comfortable inside and the ride was comfortable. I have a 92 rodeo and if you keep it a 65 you'll get a little over 26mpg, and that is a 4x4 also. They are both awesome for off roading. 4-low will just crawl.
