craigslist 89 4runner w/ v6 + 5spd $1000 198k good looking shape

Get it before the craigslist scammers. I want it so bad but I just don't have the cash right now. Next week I will, but I know it will be gone by then. :cry2:

Title is clean, no major damage, runs good. I called and it seems good to go. I just wish it was next week. I might put my S&W 500 Mag up for sale, and then go buy it with that.

What's the bad with it?

That's tempting. It's got the 3.0 I guess. What did they say about the motor? Looks like a good deal.

 

[Waterboy]

Just spoke with him. Does have a V6. 120,000 miles on engine, 189,000 on body. Uses a little water but no smoke? Is that normal? A/C was working three months ago but truck has been sitting for 6 months. Getting more pics this afternoon. Might go this weekend and take a look. What should I look for besides the norm?

I'm taking it. Called him a bit ago. I don't want to lose out on it. Even if it needs a head gasket, big deal.

Sounds like a headgasket. I have done a 3.0 before. It's a PITA but not too bad. I like the 3.0 myself.

It's gone.

 

[mtrdud]

Carlspeed, are you buying it?

 

[Waterboy]

I guess I missed out on it? I'll wait to here as I'm suppose to get pics tonight.

It's mine! Paid and got title.

Meant to say, it's in really decent shape. Engine feels maybe a bit weak, but maybe I'm not used to s smaller V6. I don't care though, for a trailered nuts trick, and it needs is some bigger tires and it's going to be a freaking blast.

 

[mtrdud]

That's not a bad engine. I've had a few and I liked them. Is the head gasket bad?

 

[carlspeed]

I dunno bud, I'll have to drive it more to find out. It was cold, and it ran okay, pretty much like my old 22r. Maybe a bit more power, I didn't drive it very far. In any case even if the gasket is bad, it's not bad enough to prevent me from taking it out a few times before doing it. I didn't really notice anything, and it didn't even really go up in temperature...

$1000 for a good looking truck that's fully loaded and has a solid 4wd system? Hell, I'll swap to a 3.4l if I have to at that price, and still have an epic deal.

 

[mtrdud]

No doubt. That was a great deal.

 

[Waterboy]

Congrats! I missed two deals this week but that's how it goes.

Thanks. Going to try to hit hard rock next Monday or Tuesday in Ocala if anyone is bored.
