Very high?
Yeah, it seemed high for 89 compared to some ebays, KBB private party is $3850 for good, $4270 excellent, etc., but for mileage and having sas done I haven't seen too many in this area, have seen 4runners similar for 6k or so.


That isn't high at all here in CA, I jave seen stock X-cabs listed for that amount. As a rule here in CA, if the Toyota is clean you can easilly list it for $1000-1500 over KBB. With the SAS, Hi-steer, gear change, bumpers, sliders it is worth the price, since this stuff would run you about another $5-7k. However with the check engine light on, and the exhaust leak, I wouldn't pay the $5500, I would offer around $4k, since the rig isn't streetable at this time, no responsible smog shop will pass it with the check engine light on, or the exhaust leak.

If the price is at or near your budget amount, I would also recommend having a dealer tech or Toyota mechanic check out the engine, you don't want to have to spend the $5k now and an additional $1500-2000 in unexpected engine repairs.

More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
