Hi im new to the forums and came here asking some advice on a '91 toyota truck im intrested in buying. Heres a link to the add so you can see the pics of it: https://bakersfield.craigslist.org/cto/5081549716.htm
and here is what the add says: 91 Toyota pickup 4x4 manual Big tires Electric fan K&n air filter Extended cab Sub woofers, aftermarket door speakers and deck professionally installed.
Well maintained Has troubles getting in first sometimes. And it has 200000 miles on it
i talked him down to 2000$ for it. After talking to him there are a few more issues. Transmission has trouble getting into first and reverse, he said he has a clutch kit for it he will give me. There is no hood he said it got bent so im guessing it was in an accident. He said it had a rebuilt motor and heads but has no receipts a mechanic buddy did it for him. It is also not smogged and tags were up in febuary but he said it should pass smog and he has the original intake for it. he said he drives it daily not sure if i believe him though since its not tagged or smogged. Since i talked him down to $2000 he is going to keep the sub and its amp but leave the deck and door speakers.
So what do you think is this truck worth 2000$ or does it sound to risky. I want to put a new transmission in and get a 3.4 crate motor to swap in but id have to take it to a shop and have them do it. i curretly have 4000$ saved towards a truck so im not sure if i should just keep saving and get a Tacoma or take the plunge on this.
