How good are you with wrenches?
Anything in that price range will kill you if you have to rely on a mechanic to keep it running reliably. If you're reasonably mechanical, there's not much difference between Ford and Chevy. Had rough luck with Dodges of that era, though, assuming you're talking gas and not diesel.
No mechanical skills, spend a bit more up front and move into something newer and just off warranty. It'll be way cheaper in the long run.
