I work at a credit union and we repo'd a 84 toyota, haven't seen it in person, just pictures, it has some kinda lift, fugly paint job, and a flat tire... engine runs fine tho...

is it worth 500 bucks? even in shitty condition? I'm more on the jeep side of things (fuck fullsize rigs :mad3: they're for towing )

this a good deal if I can grab it for 500? i'm thinking of beating the crap out of it on the trails, how much do they suck stock? will I be twistin' axles and blowing up diffs?

(edit) the clutch is slippin also... (done edit)

Weld the diff's and tear it up! Only bad thing is it's carb'ed

It's worth the $500 just check the frame for rust if you plan on keeping it. If it's rusted wheel it till it breaks in half.:D

Like they said, check for rust on the frame. I picked up an 84 last week for $500, but I found out today that the inside part of the frame rails are almost rusted through right where the rear springs mount to the frame. I knew I was taking that chance when I bought it, but I figured I can still part it out and use the parts on my next project.

buy it and part it out, or sell it on to make cash, you should be able to double your money on it easy.
