Transmission type: manual
Desired number of Doors: 4

Funds lined up? yes
Have a car you need to sell first? no

Thanks for keeping your eyes out

Anything is a candidate, since shipping is a possibility to me. Just has to be the right car.

Looks pretty darn nice. There's a few of us here in Charlotte who could take a look at it for you if you are interested

I'm in the process of purchasing this very car. I have a family friend in Charlotte that will pay the guy for me and collect the title, but the guy is wanting cash instead of a certified check with his name on it. I'm not sure why, since a certified bank check is guaranteed. The cash thing scares me a little, especially since it is so much and above the amount that gets flagged by the bank. I'm waiting to hear back from him.

I wish there was an easy way for me to get up there myself, but this is the best I can do at the moment. If one of you wouldn't mind looking at it for me to get eyes on it and make sure there isn't anything I've missed, that would be great. PM me and I can give you my contact info.

Cash talks, bullshit walks these days. When I bought my TRDP 4runner, the guy would only accept a wire transfer bank to bank

Looks like it needs some aesthetic fixings but other than that super clean, congrats

I'll try! I'm always bad about that stuff. But it'd be a great start to a "build" thread, although not sure how much more I'll be doing to it yet. I wish I could bring my "essentials" tool box with me but oh well.

One of my friends flew out to pick up a car half way across the country and checked a spare tire and an aluminum jack on the plane (for the return trip) lol.

Congrats on the purchase, excellent combo. Now swap that front seat upholstery side-to-side!

That is a gorgeous combo. Wish I’d held out for alcantara. Good luck with the purchase. I flew half way across the country to get mine. Was a great road trip. Wish you the same.

I just got home. I'm so freaking tired. SES light came on from what I feel is a slight misfire, but more critically right now, the headlights are insanely dim. I could use a flashlight and see better. What is the deal with that? Lenses are new, bulbs say Phillips Germany on them. Even with the high beams on light output is essentially nil.

You can see the light on the side of the building is waaaay brighter than the headlights on the wall.

On the bright side, it has dealer installed Bluetooth ULF, which worked great.

Few pics posted in a project thread. Haven't had much time since I've got back. Need to fix some stuff on this car, including the burnt bowls.
