    the maroon one has off road suspension, that's why it sits higher

    Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.

    Okay .... the green 1995

    - The fuel pump is most likely down in the tank. If you opt to repair your best bet would be to replace the whole thing as one unit. That's expensive. It could possibly be the valve that switches from one tank to the other. That can get a little complicated.

    - The shifting issue is more likely to be electrical. Much of the time replacing the speed sensor on the rear end will clear up transmission problems. It's a cheap fix if it works.

    - Brakes spongy: Could be some air trapped in the brake lines.

    - Horn/cruise control out: It's likely that the airbag clock spring in the steering wheel needs to be replaced. If you look in the bottom left of the instrument cluster there's a warning light for the air bag. It should be flashing error code 23. That would be two flashes pause three flashes.

    1999 Maroon:

    The rust is a hard thing ... it's like cancer, once it starts it's hard to stop. You might want to have a mechanic put it up on a lift to see how far along it is and how much time you've got left.
