The owner of the truck in the 1st post must have gone through and added up every receipt he had for the truck. Too bad you never get what you put into it.

that first one is pretty dang sweet but I am thinking it has been/will be for sale for awhile. Probably more in the $7500-8500 price range, JMO..

If you are down in California, consider this '85:

off topic but am curious about your user name: intelplatoon ?
I was on a LRSD team, 106th MI at Ft. Richardson, AK a lifetime ago..

Good luck with your search for a 4runner

Look for a stocker and build up. No bust on you but you don't sound like you knowledgible about modified yotas. Its easy to get screwed if you don't know any better. Its a clean looking truck. But if you build it you will have a deeper respect for your truck and its capibilities. Plus when breaks you won't pay a fortune finding a mechanic that knows how to wrench a rig thats modded out. Just my $0.02 its your money.

He's really marked it up. Those a 27spline longfields.

that yota for $13k has been up there for a while... yea its hella clean. but thats a little pricey.. thats the kind of truck you buy then dont wanna wheel because its so nice.. there are plenty more yotas in the SFbayarea that are pretty decent. just gotta keep looking.

13 grand is a bit much, but I think the seller knows that. 'Honey, I've had it up on craigslist for four months now, it's such a good deal and nobodys bought it, maybe we should sell your convertible beetle instead'

you could go to kbb.com and put in the options and mileage and that should get you in the ball park anyway

Sounds like a better truck. Got plans for it yet?

FYI your sig says Japanese import 22re, native Japanese 22r series motor don't exist they had a lower HP 21ru (if memory service) they only made them for export.
