i believe you will have a hard time finding a honda or nissan or toyota with low miles, old and for 2500 that doesnt have something messed up on it. either the motor will be fubar'd, the tranny will be junk or the body is crushed up like a coke can. (i dont know about you, but im not a good paint and body girl, id prefer the fubar'd motor or junked tranny) either you can crack open your piggy bank or be prepared to possibly swap out motors and/or trannys. prices are going to be higher too if youre wanting a standard! a lot of ppl are doing their research now and are jacking up the price on some of your manual tranny nissans, hondas and toyotas. search around a LOT, hopefully you will find that joe blow or that granny thats selling their old car dirt cheap.
