Been a 33+year love affair ... Now its time to move on.

Well, sounds like you were ready, so sad but no regrets.  Good for you.

I have a 2000 Toyota Echo with 230K miles and gets 48mpg. Its hard to beat a Toyota.

Glad you got asking price- I think you gave it away- Tacos command top dollar for that body style in that condition with that low a mileage.  Prolly coulda doubled  on BaT but tprices there are generally bonkers.

We just sold our 03 nickel-diming-Money-Pit.  I mean 03 Honda Element.  5 VTec solenoids (all Honda OEM), multiple VTec screen cleanings, and the infamous cold-solder-joint gauge-cluster.  I wasn't sorry to see it go, despite loving the car and how incredibly versatile it was.

After the 2nd VTec solenoid, I realized Honda isn't what it used to be (especially with all the Ultium GM/Honda fiasco that is ongoing for the Prologue).  What's sorta funny (but not really) is our 02 CR-V has been used for skidding trees, hauling our small trailer, moving furniture, camping, and general rough use since we bought it and the Element (as a 2-fer deal).  The CR-V has the exact same powertrain and engine as the Element but remains near-flawless despite passing 262k miles.

Our next purchase will be another late-80s/mid-90s EFI 4x4 longbed single-cab manual.  Don't care what brand, I have owned and have extensive familiarity with all three.  I'll be selling my 2wd single-cab shortbed Ram mid-to-late March. I am really tired of trucks from the 2000s on; reliability, cost to repair, a lack of available QUALITY common-failure parts, and perhaps worst of all, too darn big.  I parked my old (1994) single-cab shortbed F-150 next to a Taco with the king-cab and shortbed and the Taco was notably longer than my old truck.  When I parked it next to my neighbor's extended cab 2017 FX4, it looked I was parking a Mazda B2000 next to a full-size.

I miss when trucks were trucks, not crank-wagging contests on wheels with a focus on 0-60 times and stuffing the largest imaginable rim under a fender with "low profile mudders" as pre-optioned offerings from dealers... STARTING in the very high 40s~!
