Its a long messed up story, grab some and bear with me.............I went shopping with my wife Sat afternoon and on the way down (about an hour away) I spotted this cruiser. It was sitting in a yard like it was for sale but no sign on it. On the way home that evening I stopped to check it out. I could see that there was no plate on the back, I knock on the door but no one answered. So I start looking around it and there is a 4x8 sheet of plywood laying on the ground next to the truck......its for sale! I call the number and this guy answers, its not his cruiser its his brother-in-laws and he is trying to sell it for him, BUT he doesn't know anything about it other than its a 1990 (even I knew it wasen't a 90) and "it needs a wiring harness or something". He said Its been sitting there a long time, they were asking $2,800 then $1,400. He then says they would take $800, he wants it out of his yard, "if its not gone in a week I'm having it towed out of there". I told him I would drive back down the next day, look it over and get back to him.
I went back down Sunday afternoon an looked it over. Forgot to grab my camera but took some pic's with my cell phone. While looking it over I found the title in the glove box and took a pic of that too. I'm glad I did that now because after going back and forth with this guy the past couple days was getting old. I searched the name and address on the title and got a hold of the owner and we got the price worked out and I got some info. He said the "main fuse under the hood" is blown. He "thinks there is a freyed wire somewhere". He said the fuse blew twice in 6 months. The first time he took it to a toyota dealer and got hammered with a big bill before they found the problem, when it blew the second time (6 month later) he parked it and bought a car and its been sitting since.
He is a younger guy and I can tell he doesn't know much about cars, so to answer your question..............I'm not sure what is wrong with it. but I couldn't turn it down for what I got it for.
