thinking of buying this

https://charleston.craigslist.org/cto/5255501695.html

What would you guys (and gals) look for? Any constructive advice is greatly appreciated. I want a simple vehicle, and I have always wanted an 80's toyota truck, and I wouldn't mind putting some money into the right one.

looks pretty clean, especially with that ARB bumper ($750+/- new).
price is almost too good to be true unless it is a rusted out POS

That's what I'm thinking too. Something has to be wrong with it for that price.

You said truck, not 4Runner, and posted in 84-85 so i thought you might like this one:

Not affiliated, just saw now on atl c list, and phone number is appropriate area code for the location. Looks like a cared for rig.

$5000 sounds like a lot but there's probably $2500ish under the hood alone. Good deal. He'd probably do $4500? I'd hit it

That pickup in Dalton looks very clean. Only thing that has me a little off with paying $5000 is the title status being "Missing"
