    I wouldn't have any problem paying that for it. Especially being as rust-free as it appears to be. Low miles, SFA. Go for it.

    The interior looks nice too. No dents on any of the pictures and they show all sides.

    I would say it's a good deal. I paid $6500 in 2004-2005 for a 93 sr5 v6 4wd with 130,000 miles.

    looks nice, curious about the SFA as I'm pretty certain that was not factory for that truck.

    That's a great price. I'd buy it. my SAS '93 reg cab was my favorite minitruck I've ever had. That one looks clean. Maybe have a compression test done on the motor so get an idea what condition the motor is in and if it all checks out, grab it and enjoy yourself.

    This is what I did with my SAS '93

    One vehicle I have always regretted selling was my 93 sr5. Truck was solid and extremely capable.

    I would not pay the 5500 I would go for 4000 just because it is a 93 but it looks really good. Have an independent mechanic inspect it though.....

    Haha I thought so, thanks for the confirmation, I was just uncertain as just looking at the truck from the picture would one not be able to tell for sure.

    Also I must say that '93 you had is :drool:

    Yes the solid front axle last year was either 85 or 86 so if that truck has one it was added by the owner, so taking a real good look at the quality of the work would be in order but I agree with KenLyns, looks too low to be a solid front axle.

    he said the previous owner did the swap so now I'm skeptical. Im not sure why he's getting rid of it. He said he's only had it for a few months. Its either i buy this or put the 5500 towards my 2nd gen and pay that off so i can start modding it.

    If your looking to get another rig, Thats really a good price..and for one with a solid, id jump on that. I sold my 91 IFS with blown head gaskets and rust hole in side of the body and 275,000 miles on it for $3400.. and it sold in less than 24 hours of parking it at the gas station...
