If you're on a budget, mid to late 90s Civics and Corollas/Prizm are a good deal. New Toyotas are good but cost more than average to buy. Look to American companies for heavier duty trucks and large SUVs.

I personally stay away from Ford. I own Chrysler and GM products, but I cannot stand fixing Fords due to their design.

Is this a V6 or 4 cylinder? If it's the V6, I recommend selling it. If it's a 4-cylinder, I recommend keeping it.

Maintenance cost is significantly higher for the V6. The 4-cylinder is much much easier to maintain and fix.
