Advice on second vehicle??

Guys and Girls?
I'm looking at purchasing a second vehicle. Basically, I'm after a small economical ute that I can chuck stuff in the tray - rubbish for the tip - mulch, soil etc. Just a little 4 cylinder job - up to about $3,000.00.
Any suggestions/recommendations?

True - as you say plenty of options - but, unless I win Lotto, it'll have to be something under $3K, which probably isn't much.

Maybe even an old wb holden or ford ute on gas?

Thanks Jes
Cheers Jes! REALLY appreciate the offer mate - but not yet in a position to buy the vehicle on account of the Mrs buying EVERYTHING for sale in Albany this morning
- well, maybe exagerating slightly - but I'm sure she must have spent at least ten gazillion dollars
