less than an hour left in the auction and the price is at $1500 which seems fair if it runs well. i always think it's funny to put stuff like this on ebay and get the same price you would get by using craigslist, which i think is much easier. maybe the seller thinks there's a chance of making slightly more this way though.

I'm surprise no one bid , I guess one of the snap shot that show under neath at rear bumper that show very rusty surface cause lots of buyer not to bid .

Looks like it's been relisted. Doesn't look too bad for 250k on the clock...

Still no bids, at $1500. Strange - it looks worth it. No questions posted, either.

I can report from this neck o' the woods (and perhaps Splat can back me up) T4wds...and Toyotas in general aren't appreciated around here. It's a combination of being GM country and salt country. It's down right stupid how much salt they dump on the roads here in the winter. Being of a conspirator mind, my guess is it's on purpose to stimulate the auto industry. 80's Toyotas never had a chance here. The only reason this one exists in the condition it's in is: Seattle and stated rust repair.

I just got back from a 225 mile over-night ice fishing adventure with mine. The two man pull over sled fits right in the back. Gear on top. Still got 30 MPG. A few thumbs up and a few laughs (always from truck boys getting 10 MPG) A few more weeks and I can try out the access hole I made in the back for fishing from INSDE the car. (smile)

Splat says 10 inch min. ice thickness. It's at 4-5 now. I'm going to push it at 8.

Here's a good example of the average Minnesota Toyota.
