Default daily driver wanted!

i would post this in the WTB, but i don't need a car from alaska or ny.

I have to drive 30 miles each way a day to school, and starting in november i have mercedes benz training which is a 45 mile drive each way. My car is constantly having problems, and at 16mpg this **** just isn't happening anymore.

My budget is 1200 or less, because i really don't want to put money into another car, i just want something thats going to start every day and get me good gas mileage, preferable a car where parts are a dime a dozen(honda, toyota, nissan, s10, ranger, etc)

i would prefer a pickup truck, so i can haul **** around for my car.

if anyone has anything, or knows of anybody who does, please let me know.

i'm in the central florida area(longwood, seminole county to be exact)

thank you!

toby

i have a 91 taurus.. runs excellent with cold a/c.. has a cracked rear bumper and really could use cleanup.. paints decent.. it has a front end noise i beleive to be wheel bearing but i haven't looked in to it.. it was driven 21 miles one way to work everyday for about a year by a coworker.. then it quit running.. i traded another car i had for it.. turned out to be the starter solenoid.. its fixed now with a new lifetime warrentied advance piece.. fuel guage is broken and gearindicator thingy isn't connected.. guy had the dash off cause he thought it was a wiring issue and i didn't hook it back up.both the fuel guage and the indicator worked before it was removed so i prob fprgot to hook something up.. NO smoke or nothing

gets decent mileage.. seems to have new fuel rails.. or at least really clean ones.. new cap rotor plugs wires.. i had it listed for 1300 but am open to offers.. lemme know if your interested.. i'm less than an hour away
