First I would like to say hello to everyone, I really enjoy and value all the usefull advise I've been reading about. I'm a newbie to the forum and to Toyota. I recently was given a 1991 Toyota 2wd V6 4runner from my father. The body and interior are mint, the only problem so far is a rear main seal leak. Now my wife is in an uproar because it's gonna cost $600 to get it fixed. I personally think thats resonable considering how much of a PITA it is to change. What do you guys think? Is this a resonable amount to pay?

 

Considering the fact that the truck was $0, nope you win even if you pay that to fix it. There's nothin' particularly easy involved changing that seal. Was that from a Toyota dealership/cert.mechanic? Cause they'll probably quote ya somethin' higher. Then say, look honey, what a good deal. Who knows, it doesn't sound like way too much to me, that's for sure.

 

good price, and the rig didn't cost you a cent. how can you go wrong.

 

Thanks for the reply. Here is a pic of My Rig.

 

Nice looking 2nd gen!


How can the wife be complaining about a such a nice rig for under a grand? Your wife and my wife must have the same value structure, which can be summarized by their secret motto.

 

nice score on the rig, the price seems pretty decent as well. get a couple more quotes just for shttz and giggles and show the finance dept!

good luck, keep us posted.
