we just had our third child and the Camry is the only thing we can carry all the kids in.
so if I take the kids somewhere I go in the camry. And If my wife needs to go somewhere she needs a automatic to drive.

I fought it for months but It was either give in or get out.

My wife> <me

I'd get out

Please tell us that you are going to get another toyota? This sounds like a good excuse to upgrade to a tacoma or something (esp because most of the auto's before that were kinda poopy)

No matter what happens, she really should learn how to drive a stick, esp it you guys ever go anywhere remote in your truck, what happens if something happens to you (broken ankle, leg, back) and you need to go to the hospital, but your out of cell phone range or something, she wouldn't be able to drive you anywhere, kind of a safety concern


If you really don't want to sell it, then put it up for $7k, and after it wont sell, just tell the wife that she'll just have to deal with it

I was really wanting to get a automatic tacoma. That way we can both be happy. Yes I have 4 toyotas now as you can see in my sig. That is all i will ever have
I am in the process of selling my scion xb as we speak to get rid of a car note.

So come on guy's what's the 85 worth?
so I can hopefully get a Tacoma
Thanks

I don't know what they go for over there but out west I could see getting $4500 for it based on the rest of the truck being as good as the body.

I was thinking i could get 4 for it. If thats what some one was looking for.
You might find a 86-88 that clean if ou were lucky with 200k miles for around 3k.
then u put a new motor in it and a solid front axle swap. and how much would you have tied up in it then?
