Toyotas and Nissans are good for high mileages. Avoid Mitzis unless you're absolutely certain of their service history. Add about $800 to a service for a cambelt on a Hiace, but check with your usual mechanic. If you have no record of the previous belt replacement then probably pay to do it because a new motor is more expensive than a cambelt.
You can get more for your money with an import, there's usually nothing wrong with them. Check out what the Dog and Lemon Guide say about used imports, it seemed like good advice to me.
High miles, engine knock, rusty chrome, worn pegs...
Brakes as new
