Ok, I keep passing this thing on my way to/from work, and it bothers me to no end that some Toyota nut hasn't snagged this thing up yet! Someone out there has to be looking for a super-clean '87 4runner!

It is an '87 4runner, fully loaded with power windows, clinometer, digital dash (kinda tacky actually), grey with grey interior, factory aluminum wheels, untouched (no cheesy mods), nearly no rust at all, TURBO 22RTE with 105k miles!

The downside - it definitely needs a tune-up, has a funny smell with the AC, doesn't have a sunroof, and is an AUTO (yuck - but all turbo 4runners were).

It is at a small car dealer, and the guy wants $3995 for it - or something like that. It has been there for a while, and he is probably willing to come down.

The guys name is Ted - State Street Auto - 717-733-1821. Tell him Andy sent you.

I am not affiliated in any way - I just know there are some of you out there who would give up your firstborn for one.

That just comes to show how overpriced used toyotas are in this country. :-) My bro-in-law is selling his '94 2nd gen hilux surf, factory alloys, rear tire carrier, 1KZ-TE turbo diesel w/ auto tranny, 86K highway miles for about the same price! The AC (R134a) works, too.


'86 4Runner: ARB winchbar, Kaymar, e-codes, OME lift, RR diff lock, FR truetrac, sound stream a/d/s audio, recaros.
'03 LX470: ARB sahara bar, Kaymar, HID's, ART cryo'd/slotted rotors, Stoptech SS hoses.

Ozrunner sent me a used car magazine from Australia a few years ago and I was just amazed at the prices. FJ45 were selling for only a few thousand or even less. 4 door pick-ups with turbo diesels weren't much more depending on age. It's all a matter of availability and demand. Over there, the coolest Toyotas are a dime a dozen because they are so common. Here, an FJ45 in good condition could sell for as much as a brand new Land Cruiser.

As for that Turbo runner being overpriced, that price actually doesn't sound too bad assuming it's in good shape. The mileage is pretty low. If it was a 5 speed, that would be a pretty good deal.
