I’ve only bought one new car since I got my license in 1976 (No, that isn’t a typo. Yes, I am that old.) and that was for my wife.
I currently drive a 1997 Ford F350 XLT 4×4 crew cab long bed with the 7.3L Powerstroke diesel and E4OD automatic transmission that I bought in May 2002 with 62,222 miles on the clock. It now has just under 170,000 miles. I love it.
I replaced the starter, transmission, transmission range sensor, torque convertor, flexplate, vacuum pump, vehicle speed sensor, glow plugs, glow plug relay, and water pump. The torque convertor was replaced again under warranty.
This truck was purchased used from a dealership that I built up a relationship with through the years. I purchased several used cars from this dealership before I purchased the truck.

I can’t afford a lift either. I do most of my automotive work from the ground or car-ramps and jackstands, and ALL of my work is done outside. I’m working on organizing my garage, but that’s another story.
I appreciate you shooting these videos from a “real” perspective. If I could afford a lift AND had the space to install it, I would have one in my garage, but like you, Eric, I don’t have the electical capacity either.
I wish you luck on your lease renewal. If it doesn’t work out in your favor, how about coming to Idaho? I’m unemployed and would gladly lend a hand on your projects. I’m fairly handy with photography / video equipment, too. Let me know if you’d like to set up shop in ID and I’ll make some inquiries for you.
