My Buddy who lives out near me and commuted to the P.D we both worked on, he had over 300,000 on it and sold it finally for 1500. Their only real problem is corrosion, check for that real good under the quarter panels and the body mounts underneath as he had to have his body mounts repaired at 200,000.

Willy beat me to it.. Great mechanically, but I know of 3 of them that have rotted out by the quarter panels and under the wheel wells... especially the rear wheel wells. Check carefully...

that looks nice!! I had a friend that had 2 of them, they were very dependable, but I hated the comfort and room it had, of course I was 350# at the time!! lol But really that's were Toyota failed in my eyes, they were never a comfortable thing to be in.

^ Better deals than that out there Charlie. I've seen worse, but still looks pretty rusty underneath, hack stereo install (what else was done that way?), dry rotted tires, running boards have been removed, and that "sludge" he put on is most likely hiding a lot of damage.

That's just what I noticed off the bat without actually studying the pics.

It's like looking for a V20, the untrained eye misses a lot.

For what it's worth I paid a lot less for mine from the original owner, all the original documents and maintenence paper work, only 187,000 miles, almost zero rust with the exception of the bottom edge of the rear passenger side door, new tires, timing belt and water pump. The exterior is dam near perfect and the interior is the cleanest I've seen besides brand new.
