1985 diesel Toyota Xtracab w/ 140,000 miles.

Hi Everybody,

My brother in law is selling his 1985 white Xtracab pick-up. He lives in Ft. Lauderdale. It's in pretty good shape-obviously, by the miles, it's not been driven a lot but it still makes it to my house in the Florida Keys regularly.
He seems to be thinking about $7000.00
Anyone?

007, dude you better jump on this! Not only is it an older toyota for you to play with, it's that diesel you've been wanting! go for it!!!

just don't tell the wife

 

If its been in Florida for a while trust me you dont want it! Just look under it I bet its a piece of rust.

 

Oh no, he quit driving it through the surf at the beach years ago.....

 

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!!!

I would love to buy it!!! ...but I just had to turn down my best friend. He was willing to sell me back my old Jetta TDI for $1000 to help him out of a money crunch.

Unfortunately, my own money crunch is killing me. Until the house in Houston sells, I have no money to spend on anything.

 

Sorry to hear you're still having problems with the house. I watched something on hte news yesterday about how bad of a market it is right now for anyone selling a house. any idea what you're gonna do?

 

Only thing I can do... wait.

Yeah, it is pretty much destroyed in the Houston Area. My agent says that she has never seen things this way. The news is making things worse. Buyers are scared to buy. I have even lowered the price of my home by $25,000 (thanks to some family help).

 

Wow! thats a huge price decrease! i dont know why people would be scared to buy. i'm actually looking at houses. they call it a buyers market for a reason. buy now while its cheap, and eventually sell it for more, things wont stay this way forever. It's not like the worlds population is decreasing, there will always be a demand for housing, it just flulctuates. If i were unfortunate enough to live in Texas i would come by and check out your house. Anyway, sorry to hear your still having problems on the market, hope things get better for you soon.

 

Thanks.

Now - Who is going to by me that diesel!!??!?

 

Tom,

I would get some pictures on here. That will definitely help you sell it. If you want a bigger forum for Toyota Diesels, check out the classifieds on http://toyotadiesel.com/forums/. I know there are some guys over there that are always looking for a good diesel toy.
