Congrats! Good luck on the $2000 car hunt. It can be a real crap-shoot at that price range, at least in areas with a lot of mechanically savvy low income people, such as I compete with in the south west. My $1800 car has only lasted me 14 months and even with over $900 in repairs, it's almost totally done for. It's nearly impossible to find a good car out here for under $3000, and really $4-5k is a safer target. Still, even if you did a $5k car, that's still only 25% of what you sold the Taco for!
