    I mean, the dude has tons of time invested into the truck, getting it cleaned up. I wouldn’t be mad at what I payed vs him

    Although I would be a little grossed out to see what it once looked like.

    The way I feel about it is this: yes I made some money on the truck, but I also sold a good product, because at the end of the day he was able to look it over and test drive it and he still felt safe handing me my asking price. The truck will hold up. Shows no signs of anything going wrong on it and I firmly believe that he will save money owning this vs something domestic in the same price range.

    The truck was worth it, and I don't feel like I pulled the wool over anyone's eyes. I told him about the forum, if I was trying to hide something I wouldn't have said a word.

    What OP paid is not relevant.

    What the new owner paid is the most important fact.
    Buy low, do some improvements, sell and make a few bucks, it's as American as Apple Pie.

    Honestly this is just the start of me being able to pay off some debts, get a debt snowball rolling and get out of debt in the next 3 years. I know it's not gonna impress anyone but I'm just gonna get something cheap that's good on gas and try to stack some cash. :D

    Nope. No domestics. Probably gonna be a Honda Fit for the time being. :der:

    Thanks for sharing your build on here, it was cool to follow. As far as the money situation, you gotta do what you gotta do, hang in there, find something else to flip, don’t be a stranger on here.

    The replacement.
    2010 Toyota Matrix S 2.4
    5 speed manual.
    $4500 with 165k when I got it.
    No accidents, clean Carfax, good maintenance history. Fits a carseat easy and has tons of room for my mobile detaling kit when I gotta do my side hustle.

    It's not my RSX or the Tacoma, but it seems to be a good mix of the two that should last me till I'm debt free and ready to get back to maybe getting a 4x4. I'll see you guys around.

    Folded the rear jump seat down so I had a flat platform, used the LATCH points and the carseat base with our Eddie Bauer carseat and and it sat level, firm and in place. I would say you're passengers seat will need to be moved forward a bit so your copilot needs to be under 5'6 in order for it to work if you have someone else sitting up front with you.

    I wish I'd have taken a picture of the fitment, it actually worked fairly well, but I very much enjoy the easier time I have of it with the matrix.
