waddayas reckon?? 4runner...

Post by khany427 »

lookin at gettin this 4runner for the missus...(1st car)

its an '86 2.4d.

its a lil rough around the edges but not bad, zero rust, 2 dings, 1 in rear 1/4 and another in passenger side front guard. not bad though.
worst things are the motor has a SUSPECTED blown head gasket(278000kays), interiors a bit grotty, nothing a good bath wont fix though (no tears or ciggy burns), centre consoles busted, clutch is playin funny buggas, i suspect slave cylinder, and the usual back window wont play the game.

what i want to no is if the motor is shagged whats the going price for anothery?
centre console availability?
whats the usual drama and fix with the back window?
also the passenger seat wont slide forward, this common and whats the usual fix?

anyway heres a pic and i can take it home for $1000...

head gasket isn't hard to change on an engine.. just pull the head off, new gasket, head back on, torque, done. A single days work depending on how hard it is to get off in the first place.

If the 2.4 is shot, can swap in a 2.8 (3L) all just bolts up.
There was a 2nd hand one for sale on here not long ago I think :?
