need to downsize.
here's another white one. 143k miles, tan leather.
VIN JT3HJ85J9V0184530
been off road only a handful of times. here and here are some pix. other than that, i used her as a commuter.
other than the bugs mentioned below, the cruiser is very well maintained and i'd drive her anywhere in the country and back without hesitation... in fact i'd love to take her on a road trip right now. she runs just straight and smooth.

the good:
factory lockers
car fax says "06/2007 114,000 miles Extended warranty helps pay for repairs. Drive axle serviced: Axle shaft, Seals/gaskets, Steering"
previous owner claims he worked for toyota and did the HG.
phh is done with green stripe by toyota stealer a year ago or so.
5 good tires (cooper discoverer s/t 255 85 16) , all 5 rotated every 5k miles. they have less than 20k on it. plenty of thread left.
since i bought her, i had the oil changed every 5 k miles, always w mobile 1 0w-40. here's the last blackstone report
grey wire mod
cdl switch mod
diehard platinum (never failed me),
bone dry inside
brand new ome air filter
2 philips 9012 in the low beams
leather without cracks
ac runs just fine
the D light is on!
bonus: comes with a FSM, complete set of keys, mot's mosquito screens for the sliding windows and a roof tire carrier custom made by groucho

the bad:
removed and sold all the rear seats.
removed all rear seat belts (still have them and you can have them).
removed all the plastic and running board.
removed roof rack (which is actually not a "bad" thing).
the e-brake is seized. with that, there is some rattling coming from the ps rear tire.
po401. haven't done anything to it yet.
antenna doesn't work

the ugly:
when i removed the fender flares from ds quarter panel, i discovered, that there must have been a minor collision which they fixed rather sloppy.
2 rust spots on the upper rear hatch under the window seal.
she lived in MN for a while, so there is some rust underneath. nothing critical tho.
and...
just last xmas a roll off dump truck clipped my ds front fender. destroyed was the fender, rear view mirror, ds bumperette and blinker glass. progressive had it fixed at exoticbodiesbyjimco.com they did a good job except - they painted the ds front door as well although there was no damage whatsoever. while prepping for the paint job, they chipped a little piece of the door handle thingie.

Ok - so I've been looking since October and haven't found anything decent in our area (Denver, COS, Ft.C). I just made an offer and struck a deal on the West Coast and now you're selling... :crybaby:

It's true, white is not my favorite color but it sure looks like a good truck with low mileage. Good luck - if for some reason my West Coast deal falls through I'll be chatting you up. :D

guys and gals, don't have me put her onto a consignment lot. she does not deserve that at all.

no offense, but without second row seats, having some issues and not passing emissions which much of the country has to deal with, your price is just too high.

i'd suggest at least fixing the emissions issue and buying some used second row seats (don't bother with the third row) to throw in, then the ebrake and antenna are both minor issues. makes it much more palatable.
 
no offense taken.
yes, she has some issues - that's why i wrote "or best offer".
you are right about the po401, i could do something about it, i just don't have the adequate means to do so at the moment. if a cruiserhead would buy her, he'd fix it in no time i guess. by the way, have cleared the po401 a couple month ago with the scangauge - did not came up since then.
not sure about the 2nd row seat. if somebody wants to use her the way i did as a commuter and occasional camping rig, more seats are just in the way.
what would be an fair price for her the way she is?
 
the problem with p0401 codes is they usually require expensive parts to fix. to get mine through emissions required a new vsv valve and modulator. mine also was down to occasional codes. can't remember the price, but it was around $300. at 6k, i might be tempted to buy it, but that's just what i value it at. not sure what others would do.
