Wow! Even driving it in the rain should be a crime. I'm not a fan of letting vehicles sit but I think using this 4runner as a Daily driver would be a bad idea also. FWIW I also think it's worth more than 10k but what do I know.

I dont want to get into an arguement about price again, but several 1st gens with 50-70K miles have sold on ebay from $9.5-$11.5k. Im yet to see an '85 w/ low low miles though.

Nah, keep it, why even worry about haggling about price. I would never let a cherry like that go, unless someone offered me a ridiculously high price.....$20k?

not starting an argument, I say get as much as you can. Im just suprised they sell that high since usually imports like toyota arent that valuable as a collectors item. I think u should wait for the right person to sell it to that u know will take care of it.

You have a gem. I skipped to the end of the thread so I don't know what I missed, but I don't think its worth selling. You can't compare it to 1st gen in great shape that has had almost everything replaced and a new engine. Your vehicle is in a class by itself. Its all Toyota. No dicked up wiring or half ass tightened or overtightened bolt. It was made in Japan, and its my belief that its much more stout than a 4runner or Tacoma that you can buy today.
Yes, you can get more options on one now, but what do you really need? My Tacoma is nice, but I have yet to get all the dash rattles out. My 89 1st gen and my 84 are both tight. No rattles.
Anyway, I think if you sold it, you would want it or one like it back someday and that's not going to happen.
Take it from me, I lucked out and found my 84 on here 10 years later, and I was fortunate the the guy that bought it took excellent care of it and did very tasteful mods.
That's my 2 cents

I could never drive that thing,immagine if some drunk hit you, and it got totaled they would cut you a check for $700. Do you have some kind of extra insurance an a rig like that?

Has this 4Runner surfaced on the forum since it changed owners?

Would be curious to see if it's continuing to be preserved.
