    if you are looking for a '96 single cab 4x4 there is this odd one near me still for sale after 2 months in that price range
    it has more miles and crusty on it which may or may not be fixed up if you are looking for a good project
    all the dealer told me it was a one owner that had an accident on his bike and could no longer drive MT

    Dealers are almost always high on their pricing. It's how they make money.
    Be patient OP, and wait for a good deal on exactly what you want. It's out there.

    Those are perfect little DD cars, most people that stop dailying them usually wish they would've kept a daily. So you're not alone, many have this same wish after the fact. Worse probs in the world but I totally hear ya :D
