and what it comes down to i'm 20 will this truck be fun from your personal experience. Any help would be awesome,i just want to know what i'm getting into since i'm going to spend 25k thanks guys.

 

I own an 01 that I have driven "daily" for the past three years. I change the oil on a regular basis. And clean the exterior daily:o .
For the past two and a half years the truck has been "mildly modified" and completely trouble free.
I can drive from my home to northern Alabama in total comfort then proceed to rip off a high 12 to low 13 second quarter mile with ease. (On street tires)
Yes...It is a gas hog. You can expect around 16 mpg on average.
If you put a chip, cai, 4lb. pulley, and a FTVB on your "L" you should have plenty of trouble free miles in store for you.
Best of luck to you in your search for an "L".

how many miles do u have and what are u looking to get?"

 

i will probably buy one in the next month or so,what do you think good miles are for what year.Also just want to be in high 12 low 13 range.what do you think for mods

 

There's a # of good used L's for sale in the Classified section here. I happen to know of one really nice one in Michigan (hint-hint).

 

I am 19, I love my L, gas millage, well when i drive home, 220 mile drive and then a bit around the city i get about 14-15 mpg, driving around town i will get 10 mpg. My truck is a 2000. Its a lot of fun! I use mine as an everyday driver and only problem i have had is the spark plug issue, get an 03 and u wont have to worry about that. Im sure u can get a used 03 for under 25 grand.
