[SiI40sx]

old Toyota pickups. 421,000 miles and running strong on the same old engine.

I was thinking..anything that have a toyota motor in it. I'm also looking for a truck myself for under 2k or so.

toyota will run forever, i remember on top gear they had a old pickup and beat the living shit out of it, underwater, being blown up with a building, and some other things.. still started right up

What year and model is your toyota pick up truck? Maybe I'll get that model.

[drifter808]

just find one with minimal rust and an engine that has been well maintained and it will run for ever. bought ours for 100 bucks and needed a new battery, and ran ever since.

I have a 1987 Ford Ranger. It's rusty but awesome. I've rolled it twice, and it's never skipped a beat. I let it sit for 4 years, and then charged the battery and it fired right up. I'd get another one if I were in the market.

[SiI40sx]

found another one

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=200296955&dealer_id=57743339&car_year=1989&model=&bkms=1145766515398&lang=&isp=y&start_year=1981&certified=&search_type=both&distance=50&first_record=51&make=TOYOTA&min_price=1000&address=91754&advanced=&end_year=2007&pager.offset=50&max_price=2500&cardist=24

how much should i offer him?? it has 246k

[Gnnr]

I'd offer $1500. According to KBB.com $2K is right if its in perfect condition, and the average mileage for that truck is 96K. I know these cars are like tanks, but see if you can get anything with lower mileage. Like under 150K.
