Would you buy it?

So once you get your first "deal" 4runner they just start poping out of the woodwork i suppose.

Got a line on another one. $800 for the below. 92 with 192K with a bad 3vze (imigine that) Wouldnt you know it ive got an extra or 2 sitting in my garage!



(id make it a poll but that requires i have paypall )

so would you do it?

(oh ya clear title in hand says the owner)

I would probably do it for the parts alone and then send it off to the crusher. It looks clean and I would be grabbing it for the rust prone parts I have (back endgate), etc. tires look decent and are alomost that much new

Do it and I'll buy the driver's side rear bumper corner from you. And maybe the front bumper as well.

ya perhaps but 1) that requires a bunch of time (to strip the parts, then pack them up and ship them 2) i really dont have a place to keep it for the parting out process.

all my current vehicals are parked on the street (i have no off street parking) and my garage is full of "shop"

Why part a nice looking 2nd gen??
For a '92 it appears to be in excellent condition plus it has all the goodies...roof rack, weather defelctors all around, sunroof, etc.

Hows the interior look?
Power everything?
CC work?
Is spare mounted on tail gate or underneath?
Dents?
Any rust?
5spd or auto?

I might be a potential buyer.

No opinion on whether it's worth buying for you.
But,
I see you noticed the Great Universal Buyers Constant. No matter how long you wait to buy, no matter how good a deal you finally get, great deals, usually better, appear everywhere immediately after you buy. Fact of life.
