I'm Looking for a Pkup

[proinv]

I am looking to buy a Toyota Pkup for my 16yr old. (have my eye on a nice one in Myt Bch) unless anyone knows where I can look at others. Prob a 1990 - 2000 model.

OR a decent Jeep Wrangler etc. I'm not looking for a project.

Any ideas - anyone, dbenke?

Thanks

Dave, I don't hang out w/ any of the Jeep crowd, all I could do is check Craigslist.

Just remember a Tacoma with 200k miles is the same as a TJ or YJ with 75k miles. I've seen 4 cyl. and 3.4L Tacomas go over 300k all the time. Haven't seen many/any TJ's break 200k.

I'll keep my eye out for anything. I am kinda of looking for a possible replacement for my Camry as well. Someone rear-ended me Christmas Eve, and I have missed my Crew Cab Tacoma every since the day I picked up this Camry.

What's the cap on price?

There is a really nice 02' Ext Cab Tacoma w/ 3.4l and manual 4x4 in Raleigh. He just reduced the price to $8500. It has the TRD package (locker) and a new ARB front bumper. It has 120k miles.

Where is this listed? Has to be a scam at that price?

That's the direction I'm headed; I am thinking $3k - $6k


Thanks

2002 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4

I was off by a few dollars. $8900 but says he is slightly firm. I am sure cash will talk it closer $8k.

Here is a nice looking 84' ext. cab that has been modified. Scroll down to post #4, the Jeep might be up your ally as well.

Thanks. I think I need to pay the IRS first. Unless I run across a good deal. I have narrowed down to a 93-97 Truck. 4x4 5 spd ext cab

I just paid my quarterlys,..I hate paying taxes.
They get in the way of buying LC parts.

Taxes suck. No z-71 I ran across a decent one in lake city.

May be a decent deal. But it has been for sale for a while

Dave...neighbor just put his wifes Durango up for sale...white...outstanding condition...I think he wants $8 or 9k for it. Not sure how set you were on Toyota but this is a nice running and looking vehicle. Wife drove it daily taking son to school and to check on their business...they own a couple Subways down here.

 

[proinv]

Don't to spend that much and sticking w/Toy for now. Thanks

You still looking? I saw another one like my old one on the back lot. I can ask if they are selling it.

 

[Brock]

Make sure you go and sit in the front seat and bust a nasty one in there...roll the windows up tight and leave a pair of old socks under the seat before Dave test drives it.

You are not going to believe this...I bought a pristine 98 Cherokee Sport w/inline 6 4.0L. Interior like new, blah blah blah. Then while driving through small town nearby I spotted a 98 Taco (just what I've been looking for). Looks like I will have two new cars until I move the Cherokee.

That may be why someone brought back; couldn't get that funk out.

I had a bare bones 94 Cherokee and it was one of the best vehicles I have owned....285,000 miles when I sold it and only thing I ever did was radiator, starter, change fluids, and change brakes twice LOL...it was a 5 speed with manual locks, manual windows, manual seats, no cruise control but did have AC and Stereo...it was my daily driver and hunting-camping-canoeing-etc rig.
