It took a while to find an affordable vehicle in the aftermath of Typhoon Paka as many were swept into the sea or destroyed by flying coconuts. Just imagine the kinetic energy of a four pound coconut propelled by 300 mph winds. Finally found my partially damaged 4 WD Toyota truck for about $2200 which badly needed brake work. I actually enjoy driving a beater as no worries about parking lot dents and dings. The AC works and it is the first vehicle I have owned with a CD player.
