A buddy of mine is looking at this truck. Can you think of any reasons other than the obvious to not go for a 1976 Toyota Hilux? I think its freaking awesome looking, but its also kinda old and he's not the mechanical type.

REBUILT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (Just to be sure it's mechanically sound for everyday travel).

You know, just decided to rebuild the transmission to be sure its mechanically sound. No other reason.

I do like how since it was "worth" $30K new 4 years ago, and it's now been rolled/damaged and "only" needs $5K worth of work from the body-man so $20K in total truly makes it an amazing deal.

In the original black and gold (which I guess... 50% of the car is), that thing is a loving time machine.

Somebody thinks this is gold. I'd probably drive the car if given the chance, but I'd be tempted to punch the owner in the face as well.

Dam dude I hate to tell you I told you so... but I told you so. smh. There is no reason to drive all over the neighborhoods making that noise. You "tryed" to show off your corolla too hard there buddy. The evs, menaces, beymas or whatever the hell you had in there is now gone and either in somebody elses car or gonna be sold on the streets soon. But NUMBER 1 RULE with systems unless your sh*t sleeping in a garage, DONT SHOW THAT poo poo OFF. There are some JELOUS people out here. Its sad tho too because your car wasnt a BENZ, A BMW. A LEXUS or anything. it was a 1988-1991 toyota. Blue book at 1200. The rims costed more then the car. So word of advice to the music heads out there... SOMETIMES ITS BETTER TO KNOW YOU HAVE MUSIC THEN TO LET EVERYONE KNOW. Thats how I knew he has music, his big self couldnt even fit in the car when he drove by my block playing that scratchy music, tune up your eq buddy your killing your ears. ANYWAY. GODBLESS YOUR CAR MAN. I hope you atleast get the car back.

Helping my girlfriend sell her car on craigslist. I have had almost a dozen emails so far, and every single one just says something along the lines of "i am interested please call me xxx-xxx-xxxx". Am I the only one who this drives batty? I don't really feel like spending all day on the phone, when I could easily just email the details and set up a time to see it.

You're already emailing me! Ask your questions, and we can sort out a test drive. I feel like details come across clearer in email than a phone call anyway.
