    2007 Access Cab Prerunner with 220,000 miles on the body. The original engine threw a rod right before 200,000 miles, replaced it with a jasper remanufactured engine, that one lasted 2 years, replaced it with another one under warranty, and that one lasted 1 year. Apparently the warranty is based on the date of the original engine, not the most recent one and they’re refusing to cover it. I did all the proper maintenance and did oil changes every 3-4K miles, I’m not the reason the engine failed. Anyways, I don’t have the cash to replace the engine again, and I’ve been wanting to change it up and get a faster car anyways. The truck has a lot of mods, but the important/big ones are kmc wheels, 4Runner bigger brake conversion with extended ss lines, bilstein 5100s, cmc to fit 305s, dasaita android head unit with CarPlay, kicker speakers, and a custom fabricated 1/1 front bumper. Everything but the engine works perfectly, no frame issues or rust. However, there’s dents and scratches on 3/4 doors with a little surface rust, and one of the bedsides has a little surface rust. The truck has been off roading and has pinstripes to prove it. I used it like a truck. But I also took good care of it. So, what do you guys think I could sell or for without a working engine, and/or how could I get the most money out of it. Whatever I sell it for will pretty much be my down payment for the next car. I’m in SoCal if that affects the price much, I think I’d be happy getting $7000 but idk how realistic that is.

    Caliper paint is from a company called g2, the color is mustang grabber blue, and the TRD decal is a high temp caliper sticker I bought off of eBay

    I can sell it for about $2,000 to a few different websites that buy junk cars. I could also easily part it out for more than that, but I also think I could sell it for more than that without parting out so just curious what you guys think I could get for it

    Just as an update, I posted the truck for sale and have gotten offers for $6500, more than I was expecting to be honest but I’m not mad!

    3 needing a 4th, first one was me and the previous owner’s fault, second was a shop that over tightened the drain plug and it was stripped in the threads and slowly leaked oil, and this time I have no clue what failed, just a bad engine from jasper and they’re not taking liability since it’s a month out of the warranty period.
