Looking for a small truck for occasional use (groceries/hardware store runs)

Hi everyone!

My 2005 Toyota Corolla was totalled in March and I've been living without a vehicle ever since. My employer pays for public transportation so I haven't needed to drive at all.

I like Toyotas, and i'd like to get a small used truck for vet trips, hardware store runs, and Costco runs. Basically just something I'd use as needed.

What years were exceptionally good for small trucks? I don't mind high mileage vehicles, especially if it's a vehicle I can get parts for easily and do my own easy fixes on.

I appreciate any suggestions and thank you in advance for any help!

not necessarily a car nut, is this a good deal?

Not pictured: Guy mentioned the ac needs work, clean title. Selling because he does not have time for it- also agreed to do $4,700 cash. Please help! i’d buy it sunday (10/11/26)

the seller is 22 and works construction. He says he drove the SC430 to and from Minnesota for a while, but he owns several cars and doesn’t have time for this one, so it’s been sitting at his parents’ house. It’s straight-piped, unknown how so. Does that change your assessment? I’m getting a PPI before deciding.

What's the most unreliable car you've ever owned, and what finally made you give up on it?

Every car owner has one. The one that left you stranded, ate your savings, or made a new noise every week.

What was yours, and what was the final straw? I'll start in the comments.

Any recommendations for elderly parents?

We are looking for a used small to midsize SUV for my elderly parents who live in Pittsburgh (so need AWD). My father in law is relatively tall and has trouble getting in and out of his 2008 Hyundai Tucson. We also don't want too much technology. We don't live in the state so we are buying on Carvana for them. Looking at Subaru Forester/Toyota Rav4/ Ford Edge/Kia/Hyundai..

Any recommendations?

1 Series to SUV consideration

I have a 2024 BMW 118i M Sport auto with 37k miles. No damage, runs perfectly, well specced (19" wheels, Harman Kardon, Live Cockpit Pro) and should still be under warranty. Motorway and webuyanycar both offered £17,900. Looking to spend the same or less than this.

I'm thinking of selling before it passes 50k miles and the warranty ends, then buying on one of these for more space/ family proofing:

BMW X3 petrol
Volvo XC60 petrol

Looking to spend the same or less than this.

I do about 15k miles a year.

Is it daft to swap a nearly-new car for an older one with double the miles?

If you'd go for it, which would you pick and what should I watch out for?

Is a 2022 G70 reliable (60k)?

I’m considering buying a 2022 g70 3.3t sport advanced with 60k miles as my first car. Only thing preventing me is some doubts regarding its reliability. I’ve heard people say they can get to 200k miles if maintained properly, and others saying that it’s basically a Hyundai and to not buy it because Hyundais aren’t reliable. So my question is how reliable are they? Also how reliable are they in comparison to other cars similar to it?
