^^^I was going to mention the same thing on the car trailer weights. Alot heavier than you will expect. Mine is all steel and I cannot drag it a foot up to my truck.

Why don't you just keep your Saab and get a 95 Ram for $1500. Will be plenty of towing power and well under your budget. Last time I went to the dump I had a bed full of concrete and clocked in at a little over 10,300 pounds. I have also pulled my loaded car trailer onto the scale and clocked in at just under 15,000. Truck has over 220k miles and is still on the original tranny even with my abuse.

I would rather get a vehicle meant to do some work and drive around in a car I enjoy. Insurance on an extra vehicle would be cheap as it is an "extra." My ram is $180 or so for 6 months and the ford F150 is around $150 (24 years old).
