You are looking at a very rare car. Toyota only made this all wheel dive vehicle for about 5 years. It treated me very well for the many years I drove it but it has sat idle for a few years and need to make room in my driveway (and I had plans to restore it) She was running fine when I was driving it, except towards the end when going over mountain passes (it would decelerate badly for some reason). There are many new parts I put in this rig. Including a new clutch! I estimate there's at least $3,000-$5,000 new parts I put into this while I owned it. Anyways, I hope this post finds someone who appreciates this rad rig and will hopefully restore her. Serious offers only. No trades. Cheers.
It has a manual transmission (which I want to learn to drive) and 218K miles. I feel like everyone is going to call me dumb for spending $2K on this but the thing is…I already love it. And I’d rather pay extra for something I really fucking like, than save on something I’m not particularly excited about. Even after 6-7 years of being homeless I’m picky like this, and I feel like it’s worked for me. I’ll actually go spend money on clothes that fit me and are actually my style, which helps my self-esteem just a bit, etc.
I paid $1500 for a 91 Subaru Legacy with 200k miles like 15 years ago, so $2000 in this market doesn’t sound too bad tbh. I’d take it to get looked at before committing any money though.
Edit: oof, it sat idle for years. Definitely get it checked out, could be gunked up or filled with mice holes by now.
Every single piece of rubber and soft parts on this thing will have gone brittle while idle. It will start leaking every single fluid as soon as it's run even a little bit.
