Ok so I’m not toooo crazy for getting mine. Today, I paid $62k for a 2016 with 80k miles. Bought in NoVA. Black with terra. Florida vehicle, 2 owners. Full service history shows Toyota dealer maintenance. I feel like I’m in the pack with pricing.
Solid. This is why I come here. I’m working through some electric issues with my 100 which make me cautious of taking it there. The 200 I’m thinking about would be a 2013… and, I’m eye to eye with you on not being too flashy there. I’ve seen quite a few 14 and 15 200s on fb marketplace (but the...
Really sound logic here. Given that I don’t intend to off-road it and family comfort is probably priority #1 for this, then the 200 seems like the better bet. But… should 100k miles 200 series vs an almost new Tacoma be a cause for concern? What maintenance cost are people seeing at 100k ish on...
Great question. Prices are outrageous. I am eligible for US govt import exemptions, so buying there (as Guyana booms from Exxon’s oil discoveries) is not feasible. I had hoped it was… I wanted to try out a Japan Domestic/RHD ride for a few years.
Mudders,
I’m stuck — in early 2023, I’m moving to Guyana (South America) for a couple years. Wife. 2 teen boys. Dog (German shorthaired pointer).
I have a ‘99 100 series that we love. It’s generally reliable/our only vehicle/daily driver, but I want stress-free driving.
With a budget around...
Sadly, that makes sense — hotter metal and definitely not better just because it was steam (and not coolant), but somehow this rig weathered the storm.
That 283*F was the last number I saw on the display as I got to the end of the proverbial kill chain. I heard a sound (hard to describe, but...
No joke! I should’ve reached for the iPhone instead. My pulse probably matched that 283 when I looked at the scan gauge! But, as @flintknapper smartly said, that 283 was most certainly some air/steam reading. An experience I hope to never repeat or read about from a fellow ‘mud member.
Good idea… I just gave it a look and it looks like I missed a good chance. I should’ve done this yesterday. Dammit. Missed a chance to capture some good info there.
When I go to previous day now I see 105*F and .1 miles. I’m guessing the drive from the front of the service door into the bay at...
Update:
I write now at 2300 about 80 miles west of Sioux Falls as my wife pulls the last leg to the hotel for the night.
I got the cruiser back late this afternoon, with the Tee replaced, a fresh oil change, fresh Toyota “red” coolant, a new thermostat (scan gauge shows the temp pegged at...
Unfortunately another “trip” had occurred, I guess (driving into the shop from the lot?) I couldn’t figure out how to go back more than 1 past trip. 🤷♂️
Great question… I never bothered to look, as odd as it sounds. Was so distracted with navigating the turns and then handling the crisis I didn’t bother to check (I focused on the scan gauge, saw the code it was throwing, and the temp). It may have been because I’ve been conditioned to know that...
