Oh my.
The Kali primitive is not to be confused with the Obamaite cali primitive, remember. The Obamaite cali primitive lives in Vermont and is bitter; the Kali primitive is younger and lives on a ranch in southern Texas. (Both are of the female persuasion.)

1. I would see what wholesale is and...
See what an engine costs and deduct that. The engine is toast. You could fix it sure, but any mechanic will tell you that you may as well rebuild/replace the motor in it. Most times these sort of deals are given away.

2. Here in NJ it's worth about $50. No lie.

The camper shell is probably worth more than the truck.
On the positive side, I hear 3-cylinder engines get REALLY good gas mileage. :lmao:

Somewhere around 500.00 with the miles and an admitted issue.
If it is slightly weak as posted then it still could go for another 100k miles but can`t bet on that.
Brakes need to be checked as well as the tranny fluid for color.

That's pretty rare for a Toyota to have cylinder issues at less than 200,000 miles. Somebody beat the hell out of it. I had an 87 Honda Prelude that had close to 300,000 miles on it and the damn thing still started right up and had almost all of it's balls. Ended up junking it out cuz the body pretty much fell off of it! The Japs made great engines in the 80s.
