A 'Should I buy' thread

[hawaiian05]

Thanks mate!!! I was in Seattle this weekend. I am going to check it out tonight

I can handle a 1997 with the low miles, locker, limited and 4x4. As long as a steering wheel from a 99-02 fits

Talked to the guy and he said the TB and Water pump er were done at 160, but with parts from Autozone. So, I doubt Toyota Parts. If I end up picking it up I will purchase Toyota parts and redo it. I am currently doing a TB on one of my BMW's and I'm sure this toyota isn't harder than that :dammit:

I hope to get to meet you soon.

Sounds good. Theres a few 3rd gens that popped up on Craigslist recently so hopefully that gives you some options if this one falls thru. As far as the tbelt & wpump, I wouldn't be too concerned if they were recently done, but then again I'm pretty much all OEM parts too so I understand. Let me know if you need a hand if you redo it cuz I've done hundreds of them so very familiar. Keep us posted.

It should be in my hands on monday. The seller is out of town this weekend but I took a look at it and paypal'd him some money to hold it. Needless to say I am excited :hungry:

Good to hear! Hopefully it all works out and it's everything you are wanting. Post some pics once you get it.
