i need the money for a commuter car for school, i could keep it but i dont have room for 3 cars sittin around plus my parents 2.

im looking into celicas.

im not done with trucks, as soon as i see a good 1st gen or sas, and a good 1st gen 4runner im grabbin em!!
theres no doubt in my mind there is another toy truck in my future.

it was purchased by an illegal immigrant, and he said he is taking it to mexico in about 2 months.
my 4runner though, providing all goes well, will hopefully be headed to a great home in san jose as a baby runner and trail rig!

anyone sellin any good commuter cars? haha

Give the guy a call in a couple of months.
You can probably buy it back cheap

Can't import a Yota into Mexico.
Vehicle can only be imported if it was built in Mexico or North America

*bzzzzzzzz* Wrong. Mexicans regularly buy trucks from the states, and have them shipped to Guatamala (sp?) Mexico, Guam, and south America. And its very legal. America is the one with the stick up its butt, and will not allow vehicles in here. You might ask yourself, how do I know, what makes me the leading authority on this subject?!!?!? I work in the insurance/salvage/wrecking industry. I got insider tips lol.

Besides, if he is an Illegal immigrant, do you really think he is going to get that across the border legally? Realllly?

Why did you sell it so cheap ? The way I hear it is those guys are importing them and making a killing on them down there.

it was wrecked, but fixed, clean title though, rough paint that didnt match and useless tires. and had the infamous bad ignition circuit wiring.

i was talking to a neighbor who wanted it for the same reason, apparently the papers wont go through to go into mexico if the vin doesnt start with a J. My 4runner wont make it because it starts with a J, and its not a pickup. certain letters are spposedly supposed to go with certain types of vehicles down there.
