**Reduced price to stimulate bidding. Starting bid reflects the offer that I have pending locally. Any bid on Ebay will win the truck! Good luck** Great Toyota Truck 4-banger w/ manual transmission for sale. This truck was a desert truck brought to the coast about one year ago, so rust free body. It is lots of fun around town and will go highway speeds with great gas mileage. The truck body is straight and sound, dent free, and the engine was replaced (or rebuilt) and has many new parts. Bought from previous owner who needed an automatic for his wife, now I need to upgrade for a larger vehicle. Runs, drives, and looks great considering its age. NO RESERVE!(see similar from $2250-$4750)Year: 1988Model: short-bed pick-up; 4 cylinderTransmission: manual, 2wdEngine: the incredible 22r!Tires: oversized with lots of treadGOOD: replaced original bench seat with two racing bucket seats in great condition (bench seat also included); two new speakers and brand new stereo head unit with USB and AUX; clutch is smooth and never gives any problems; gears all work great; starts and runs every time (occasionally needs two or three early morning turns of the key after sitting); new tailgate net (metal gate and hardware included- gate came off later model but works); new rear taillights; brand new windshield wipers; NO leaks or oil burn; recent black bed liner; recent body spray gray (not perfect but looks good); recent interior black liner spray; new rubber mats. All around good reliable vehicle! These are undoubtedly the most reliable trucks ever built and will last forever (look online at reviews or just look around the streets and you'll see they are still everywhere because they run forever). Passed smog no problem 3 months ago- if sold to CA resident will come with new smog certificate. NOT AS GOOD: just light wear and tear considering a 25 year old truck. if I was keeping it I might put a lift and new suspension for raised look ($200 if you do it yourself). Odometer is incorrect, a previous owner replaced engine and/or engine rebuild- he reported around 145,000 miles on engine since then. This model has air-conditioner which turns on but needs repair. Not a power steering model, but good alignment. Random increases in temperature- only happens some days- I believe it needs either a new thermostat or coolant bleed as it is a new radiator (common issue) but I'm not a mechanic and don't know for sure. All around great condition old truck that runs great and won't ever break down. Would love to keep as a second toy but need a newer vehicle for commuting to new job and have a motorcycle as well and can't keep them all. Also listed locally. Please email any questions. Sold "as is". Take to a local mechanic if you want professional review BEFORE buying only.(Auto check rates low based on high mileage on body, even though lower mileage engine, and I don't know about the 'minor incident' as this truck has no evidence of any accident.)
