These lowball prices are funny. It is going to cost me 1500 just to fix the ac in my daughter's car (a 2010 Ford Focus with 100k, we just bought for 3400). 3500 is small beans for a running vehicle. Agree.

Like, what else can one buy with 100K on the meter for less than $10,000?
The brand new ones will get no better mileage. The year of production is pretty meaningless in this situation.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Burleyboy: You are buying a quality vehicle in great condition with low mileage and dependability along with great miles per gallon and top class LONGEVITY!
Buy it or I will.

A 32 year old Toyota 2 wheel drive is “worth” whatever the seller is asking as long as you have that much in your pocket. That’s today’s America.

Agree. X2 I’ve never been into insulting lowball offers. Especially not a neighbor. Figure out what you think it’s worth and offer on the fair lower end of that range and haggle a bit from there or just pay what he ask for it if you feel like it’s fair. $3500 for a well taken care of truck is already a fair offer IMO.

92 Toy w/ 80K for $3500? In a heartbeat, all day, any day. Unless maybe it has AT.
At 80K, I would replace the clutch and turn the flywheel, just because. I would replace the Timing chain guides, and take a good look at the chains while I was in there.
THEN, the truck should run forever.
But if it does not, Jasper builds 22RE engines with a 50,000 mi/five year warranty. I do not think I have ever seen a Toyota five speed trans fail, And I have driven many of them well beyond 300K. So, how much is a Jasper rebuilt 22RE motor going for these days?

Not sure about that engine but the other I was looking at 2.7L ones for my '01 tacoma and they seemed to be running about $3600 for a long block as I recall.
Don't need one, but was thinking it might be a good idea to have a spare handy. Also that about looking for a junker version of my truck to use for parts when necessary. Some are already showing up as unavailable new. Sad for a vehicle that's only 23 years old.

Once you own a Toyota you will always own one or wish you still did.
My daily driver is a 93 with the 3.0 (not the best engine Toyota ever built) with 280K, nothing but oil changes and timing belts.

My daily driver is a 93 with the 3.0 (not the best engine Toyota ever built) with 280K, nothing but oil changes and timing belts. This is true. If I had millions, I might have a nice sporty car in the garage. But parked next to it will be a Toyota of some form. If I had that kind of money, it would be a fully restored FJ-40 instead of my Tacoma though. Lacking that kind of $$$, there's still going to be a Toyota in the garage. The wife used to laugh that I parked my 2002 Tacoma in the garage, and left the BMW out in the driveway. Because I knew the Toyota would be here years from now. The B(reak) M(y) W(allett)...not so much. Similar road feel and drivability, but dependability was complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Owned the BMW for 5 years, had it carted away on a tow truck and donated it. Had the Toyota for over 20 years and 245k miles, and sold it for better than half what I paid for it. Love driving BMW's, hate owning one. Toyotas....love driving and owning.

Might be a good way to filter out the undesirables. They’re not always obvious at first glance. To the OP: Did you end up getting the truck?
