Hello!
I'm new to the forum...... I have a couple questions regarding a potential purchase I am considering.
A co-worker of mine has a 1995 4Runner SR5 V6 3.0. He's the original owner and has all of the service records. The truck has 156k miles and is in good shape with the exception of some rust spots on the rear wheel wells and rust on the tailgate. However, the head gaskets just blew. I realize that's a typical problem on these trucks but he is willing to sell it to me for $500.00 bucks.
I found a shop that can do the repair for just under a $1,000.00 bucks.
Is it worth it? Do they ever run the same after a head gasket repair?
Any suggestions? Save my money?
What would you do?
