"scott at addicted offroad was selling a 4runner with a 1uz and sas not long ago. it may have sold already though."
I'm a little bitter about that. Maybe more than I should be, but it was a beautiful 4Runner. Basically I had a deal with the previous owner - had cash in hand and was heading over to pick it up when he calls to tell me that Scotty came up with the money + $500 all of a sudden ( supposedly Scotty offered half and half a week later or something) - I don't like playing games it potentially imaginary bidding wars so...
I knew scotty would flip it for profit and that's business and all, but it kinda sucks. It was more the previous owners fault being hard up for cash and trying to get every dollar he could right away. However, There was a previous deal that left me salty with Scotty, with some brake calipers he wanted to buy/trade from me where he was shady and scamy about it when I delivered them. It just left s bad taste even though it Worked out fair in the end.
So while he listed it it a fair price, I know exactly what he paid for it and how little work was done to it since he got it and combined with previous experiences dealing with with him... I couldn't buy it personally. In all fairness it had to be one of the nicest 4runners around for the price.
