1989 Toyota 4Runner

Hello,

I have a 1989 Toyota 4Runner with 227,000km that I sadly will have to sell due to excessive rust on the body. Can you give me an idea as to how much I can ask for it? It runs very well. Everything is fine except for the rust.
Thanks

It would not be enough to buy a new one. So, make it a trail rig and get yourself something like Corolla to drive acound the town.

Unfortunately I cannot register the vehicle in BC because of the rust (so the trail rig is out), so it is really only worth for parts. That is where I would like some advice as to what I can expect realistically. Rather than a Corolla I had to buy American because I need a pickup for my farm. I am still a great fan of Toyota though :-)
 
Can you weld up the rust, so you can pass the inspection? As of the truck, get Tacoma, much better then American truck and will last you forever.

I was told that the support beamin the front is not safe anymore because of rust and no autobody shop is willing to take my truck on unless I want to spend $$$$ dollars. It has been a good vehicle for me and I am ready to pass it on I guess.
I appreciate your advice and support though.

Sad to hear it. Good luck.
 
Put it on ebay, but not as a whole vehicle. Take it apart and sell it in pieces if you have the time. There's a guy doing that now with a 4th gen Sport Edition and he's probably going to make far more than he would if he would have sold the vehicle whole.

He sold his wheels and tires for $800. His front two seats went for $350, etc...
 
What kind of truck did you get ?

Good luck with selling the 4R.

Why did you not consider a Tacoma or Tundra if your a Toy fan , just wondering :)

That sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately at the moment I don't have the time or tools to take the truck apart. I just bought an orchard and am busy setting all that up. I may consider this though if I cannot find a buyer for the whole vehicle.

I did get a 2005 Ford Ranger because I needed a truck fast for my orchard. Also there was not a 4Runner, Tacoma or Tundra available in the price range I had in mind.
Maybe I should plant flowers in my old 4Runner and put in in my garden ;-)

Cheers.

I had one, repaired, got f-glass panels from maslack...good prices $350 for rear quarters, $100 for steel fronts, on the same topic I repaired mine My daughter rolled it in the spring, she is OK but it is a write off. Have the tailgate complete that I bought from the states, also the 22ER engine available also complete, throttle body stater and alt, anyone in need?

I love the idea of a 4Runner flower box!
