    The 4 runner might be for sale now......... thats why theres pictures of it other people asked.
    And if the seat has a rip that means it needs a motor.

    Badly neglected vehicles like this often have trashed interiors beyond just a rip or two. Things may be hacked up real good.

    Interior was actually pretty decent

    But it already sold for $1200 this morning

    And despite the lack of a rip in the seat, it does indeed need a motor lol

    I'm assuming you're not a broke 17 year old going off to welding school in 2 months with <$20 to your name?

    I get what you're saying, but this kid should cut his losses given his life circumstances. His loss is a gain for whoever scooped it up for $1200

    I recall when I was 17 and 1200$ got me a 12 yr old Toyota car with under 100k miles in very good working order overall
    That car lasted me about 5 more years 60k miles until wrecked and the floor boards became rotted out from wintry weather use

    Yea it's too bad you can't scoop up $1200 used cars that aren't a total train wreck anymore

    If you have the time and money:spending:This looks like a salvageable 4 Runner. The frame looks like it's in great shape, which in my book means it might be worth fixing up. But the Kid was smart to part ways since he doesn't have the time or the funds to fix properly.
