Thank You Craigslist!!!

Just picked up this runner on c/l for $600!!!! It has 200k on the clock, and needs a bumper (which I dont think state law requires in maine), and a an exhaust gasket after the cat....thats it...Drove it over 50 mi to get it home, and had no probs whatsoever... what a score!!

Nice score! CL brought my 4runner to me, although it cost me $2550.

Would you mind taking the plastic cover off of the top rear and snapping a pic for me so I can see where the third light mounts to and hopefully where the wires come through?

NICE! Craigslist is where I got mine for $1,000. "It's not running." Trailered it home, tapped lightly on the starter, drove it around all that afternoon...

Actually...yes I did...lol...considering that you can get $600 just for hauling a yota to the crusher... I think I made out quite well...dunno what this guy was thinking...but hey...Lucky for me!

Yes, I am sure I could, that is why I snagged it up quick, had to sell my boat to pay for it...but...def got lucky

Removing the running boards is very high on my list of things to do.

A little gremmlin did just show up though, "CEL" 27... I guess this is cali emissions, I know it is for an o2 sensor, just not sure which.. I believe it is prob the second one thats after the cat, seeing as that part of the exhaust was not even connected... going to do research now.

You need a rear bumper for a sticker to I believe.

Keep looking, there will be more and more of these type deals as gas prices go higher and higher. The market for gas guzzlers is dropping like a rock.

Sweet deal, got my 85 for $2,100. Of course it needed brakes and now the EFI won't work, but I believe I can get it to run. I thought I got a good deal sheesh... should be a fun project!
