I'm in the same boat as you are, but I've only been searching for about a month now.

I've sent 3 emails to the guy in "San Mateo" with no response - Seems to be another CL flake.


If anything pops up in NorCal you are interested in I could take a peek for you to avoid you making the trip to only find a heap.

Thanks amigo, I appreciate it, we will find one soon! Same goes for socal, let me know if you find something and I'll give it a peek for you.

I've dealt with these guys before. The one located in the first link. Be sure to ask for the VIN or have a mechanic check it out. I can almost guarantee once you ask for the VIN or to have a mechanic check it out they will throw you some lame excuse such as, "I work alot, I don't have time to take it to a mechanic for you to check it out but feel free to bring your mechanic" or just flat out ignore you. I believe these guys are all together in the odometer fraud business and preying on T4R enthusiasts like us to overpay for their junk.

Seems so, I haven't got a response since I asked for the VIN :ranger:.

I just saw a pic of some dudes 4th gen in the shadow mica and it made me question my conviction to the 3rd gen life...

If anyone knows of a 07-08 limited shadow mica I could be interested as well :eyebrows:

Thanks, I wish it was just in a little better shape. Expanding my search to a unicorn 4th gen so I can experience twice the difficulty in finding a nice rig

Alrighty boys, just checked this one out:

https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/6210836766.html

The dude is the 3rd owner, the carfax had regular maintenance, timing belt done and all that jazz. Had it looked at by a mechanic, there was surface rust since it was from New Jersey and spent some time in Utah.

Pros: good engine maintenance, paint is clean, interior is clean, new tires

Cons: 160k miles, mild surface rust, all brakes need replacing, entire exhaust looks like it was from the titanic, and shocks need replacing.

He was asking 14,700. I told him after seeing all that I would pay 12,250 cash or I walk, he said no. I walked and he just texted me asking 13k. Should I wait for a new ride to come along or take him up on it (Maybe offer 12.5k or something)?

Do you want to keep looking? Do you prefer a 4th Gen over the 3rd Gen?

If you like the rig I'd say stick with your offer of 12,250. He's already called back meaning he needs to get rid of it. If you go higher it means you need to buy it. At least that's how I deal with things like this. If you want it work out a price. If you don't care stick with the offer.

At this point I'm okay with a nice 3rd or 4th gen, I told him I would stand by my previous offer, and now it's a waiting game. Not bothered either way as I can put that money towards brakes, lift and, exhaust which I would have to replace

Talked to the dude already, he's a good dude and he had a nice rig, it just has too many things I would have to fix. Still searching, but no dice. Found some in Glendale up north at a dealer but they're priced high and have some visible damage.

Can you give me more details about "too many things to fix"? I'm thinking about reaching out to that guy. What turned you off?

First gear popping out etc, he posted the pros and cons in his ad. Shoot him a pm, he will give you the details.

I'm still looking as well.. basically for what you want as well. Except I haven't been so desperate to include 4th gen yet.

You'll be desperate soon enough in this SoCal market my friend... Just wait. That being said, I was converted into accepting a 4th gen after seeing some well build rigs.
