1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

My wife's 04 Accord (4 banger) gets like 33mpgs at least even with 130k on the clock.

 

Pricing question:
What would y’all sell or ask for a 98 SR5 Tacoma 2.7L 4X4 extracab for?
It has new cv axles
New radiator
New master cylinder
LCE exhaust headers to muffler
Icon 2.5 coilovers and shocks
New condenser
2yr old headlights
Had the upper and lower ball joints replaced in 2016
Sway bars replaced in 2016
Steering rack replaced in 2016
Replaced the PCV valve
New spark plugs and wires.
And no frame rust cause we in TX

 

Location is very important here. My truck is almost identical to yours, except mine only has 101k on the Odometer. Since this is California I'd probably conservatively value my truck at $8k-$10k, however depending on demand from state-to-state I would subtract a few thousand from that. Tacomas are worth gold in the PNW and California, so they sell for more out here.

Probably less than that. But you get the idea. Here's one example:

5-7k if it's a manual, 4-5k if it's an auto

That's assuming the interior is clean

I like 4 bangers but no one wants em

 

Well that's one way to fix the center console armrest.

Those snow chains

 

good god that interior looks like hell

What's up with his driver's seat? I didn't think it could go back that far

 

Really? My seats can do that in both of my trucks.

In fact all of the cars I've ever bothered to recline the seats that far can do that. The Tesla, E320, Civic, Tacoma, Camry, Equinox, etc.

 

Maybe I've never tried...I keep a lot of stuff in the back of the xtra cab so I wouldn't even be able to if I tried.

 

@eon_blue

If you think that interior is bad, you clearly haven't seen my 5-Lug's interior.

 

Did you remove the head rest?

 

this should be a criminal offense

 

Nope. The metal skeleton came off of the foam though so it's all the way down.

 

*thinks, ah not to worry, it'll melt eventually.

 

You need to read through my build thread.

Some highlights:

 

You need to pay someone to take that truck off your hands

 

I see vehicles at Pick-Your-Part that have interiors way cleaner than that!

 

Don't have to. @Empty_Lord is the poor sucker who's shipping it to Indiana.

 

Is he though? I mean it seems like you guys have been back and forth on this for a long time lol

 

I've had my $600 worth of fun with that truck already. Driving that thing around the neighborhood with a step stool as a seat, the entire removed interior in the back of the cab rattling around, without a bed, and stalling and/or running out of gas every few thousand feet with my poor buddy screaming in the front seat is probably some of the best fun I've had with a car. The looks we got driving that thing around, man.

100% no regrets.
