Re: First Vehicle Research

The caprice might have a little trouble haulin that size trailor if its got a v6 in it. Make sure if you get it, to make sure it has a 305 or a 350 V8 in it. They both have a good amount of torque so you'll be able to pull a lot. As for plywood, I'd reccommend a truck, but the caprice wagon, you can very easily strap it to the top of the car. If your lookin' for a cheap car, then you've found your match. The old boxy's aren't wanted by very many people anymore (even thought I love em), so they're pretty cheap. These cars are also extremely reliable (even if it been beaten on in the past). I've heard of em going over 300,000 miles before the engine quit on em. My dad's old caprice had 178,000 on it an was still runnin like new when he sold it. It's almost like you can't kill em. These cars love to drive long distances (excellent car for a road trip). Also, they're so incredibly comfortable to drive, nice smooth ride, tons of space, its like sitting on a couch while you drive, and they're solid as hell... you can feel it when your driving. (My buddy called my Caprice a floating living room) And you know you'll be protected if ya happen ta get into an accident. Personally, I'd go for it. It'll meet almost all of your needs, and it'll always be there for you. If something does happen ta go wrong with it down the road, it'll be something simple, and if ya need help, jus post your question here, an youll get the help you need. If the price seems a little high, try to work it down. Good Luck!
