No Reserve 60 Series: 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser

$19K In Receipts: 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser
We’ve all (sadly) been on the wrong end of a deal that is of our own creation. Translation: we spent too much money, and now we must sell the vehicle for less than what we’ve invested into it. There’s… more»
South Carolina Commuter: 1989 Toyota 4Runner
This first-generation Toyota 4Runner may be two things that rarely happen simultaneously: an outstanding survivor example with all the right equipment and a fair deal price-wise. The 4Runner presents quite well with loads of documentation and other evidence supporting… more»

One Owner 1990 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 5-Speed
42.5 years is a long run for any vehicle model, and Toyota has offered its 4Runner since the fall of 1983 for the 1984 model year. I barely remember 42.5 days ago, let alone what I was doing 42.5… more»
8K Original Miles: 1986 Toyota MR2
