Topic: NEED a cheap daily driver in Colorado!!

[79-83earlyota]

...Just can't drive the rock rig to work anymore, gettin' pretty ridiculous.....

I desperately need a daily driver....

I don't care if it's a 4x4 Toyota, 2WD Toyota, a Honda or a damned school bus, as long as it runs and gets decent gas mileage, I could care less about the rest.  I live in Denver, CO., which sucks, because most people on here are from California    But hey, I need a good excuse to take a vacation, so ALL possibilities WILL be considered.

hey jim your linky no worky


glad your back,  so what kinda shape is the runner in and is it a auto or stick???

I've got a 96 Suzuki Sidekick 4x4 down here in Albuquerque.  Its an automatic and needs some AC work, but still gets 35 MPG. $1500.

Hmmmmm.... .....can't do the Sidekick....i'm 6'6" tall, and the Toyotas can sometimes be a squeeze.  Jim, I will be calling you very soon, and yea, your link doesn't work???  When I typed it in to my browser it went to your website host home page?  Either way, i'll be contacting you about that '84 Runner...

[reklund5]

fwiw, the sidekick has WAY more headroom than my 84 pickup.  (the pickup is a single cab, so it's cramped no matter what)  The sidekick could use some more leg room tho...

yea, the 4Runners obviously have the open back, so I can lean the chair back as far as I need; as far as your rig havin' no AC, that's kinda rough, it's been around 90+ everyday here in Denver....bottom line is, I really would rather have a Yota than a Suzuki if I can swing it, simply because I am trained on Yotas mechanically, that's all.  I just got done looking at Junkyard Dog's 84 4Runner, and it's pretty clean, so i'll probably be negotiating with him on that.

[reklund5]

I hear that...I'm working at a toyota dealership as a mechanic, and just bought my fiancee a Camry with a blown tranny just so I wouldn't have to work on the zuki...

I've got the parts to fix the AC...just have to get motivated to do it.  Hope the runner works out for you- I'd choose it over a zuki too.
