Might have to sell the 94 4Runner

Sadly, economic conditions have forced me to consider selling my 4Runner. It's a 1994 and I've had it since May 2006. I got it with 179,000 miles. Currently has around 232,000. I've done tons of stuff, both maintenance and upgrades. All front suspension bushings were replaced in 2006, head gaskets in 2009, cv axles in 2008, rear axle seals/ bearings in 2011, and a few more minor items.

1994 Toyota 4Runner SR5
3.0 liter V6
5 speed manual
4 wheel drive
4.30 gearing
Tow package

Modifications as it sits;
Downey offroad headers
Custom 2.5 " exhaust with Flowmaster muffler.
33-12.50 DUNLOP M/T with about 15,000 miles on them
150 watt KC daylighters
Electric fan
1" body lift
Downey 2" lift coils in the rear , no sag
K&N filter charger intake
Sirius XM satellite radio
5.25" alpine rear speakers, 4" front
8" JL Audio W3 sub 250 watt
Pioneer deck with front aux port, and 2 rear outputs.
Sylvania Silver Star headlights
Front brush guard ( looks good, but bumper mounted. I got it to mount lights on )
Plus a few more minor upgrades mainly for aesthetics or comfort or convenience

Standard factory features include;
power windows and locks
Tachometer
Fully adjustable driver seat
Cruise control.

I really don't even want to consider selling, but it is not the best commuting vehicle to go to college. I can't afford to put $3.69/gallon gas in it to go to school. It gets around 16mpg on highways but for me usually around 14-15.

There are a couple issues with it;
paint is far from perfect, especially on the roof. No bare metal is exposed though.
Driver seat has a rip in it. Not huge, but noticeable
Check engine light on, code 71 egr. Runs fine. I didn't fix it since I never have to smog where I live.
Salvage title, I bought it from a tow yard with a blown up motor
Crack on top part of windshield
A/C currently doesn't blow cold. It's a leaky line, not the compressor.
Typical Toyota lame antenna

Basically I've included every issue that is currently wrong with it. There is nothing that requires immediate attention, mainly just bothersome. Body is free of rust, and dents as is undercarriage. I do have title in hand.

It's been a great vehicle for me for nearly 6 years . I really would hate to sell it . It's a comfortable, reliable, capable vehicle that you can drive pretty much anywhere but on water.

There are several 2nd gen 4Runners for sale near me. Most are 2wd, auto , or both even some 4 cyl. There are a couple for less than $2500. One is a rolled automatic for $2300 the other has a blown up motor and is $1200. There is a 1990 with 250,000 and slipping automatic for $2900. I figure, that even with issues stated, I will price mine $3600-$4200.

I'm open to comments or interest. Also open to trade for 2wd pickup trucks, either straight across, or trade + cash depending on vehicle. What's everyone think?
