I get exactly one 4runner on my local craigslist with an 8,400 cap on price. It has a blown head gasket.

I was thinking the same thing.  I’m not fan of regular cab midsize trucks, but an extended cab is a great option for reasonable interior space bed length and overall length.

engines of this era were basically gas powered air filters that occasionally made mechanical power as a by-product

I think any EV conversion is probably going to have to have a smaller battery pack and less range than what is seen on the current crop of longer range EVs

Uhh... you can find 96 cobra’s with less than 30k miles and regular paint for $7k?  I’ll take two please.

clean low mileage SN95's are getting as rare as Fox Body’s (but not as desirable yet).  Between the Cobra, the paint and the mileage, I think this clear NP.

Reminds me of the old joke

Mines a little under 7 miles one way, 55 mph rural roads two stop signs, 10 minutes tops.  to be fair I probably gave up a lot of earnings potential to have that though.

Question on the split gate, can you drive with the gate down and the glass closed for hauling longer things?

The GC, Cherokee, compass, and renegade, seem to close to me.  I think the GC should be the premium midsize the Cherokee could be the lower end midsize compass could be the compact.  The renegade should be redesigned and marketed as the low cost/compact a Wrangler

Ford only made about 200,000 of them, even if they are all still on the road, the represent 0.09% of the total vehicles in the US. Given their popularity in the used market, I’m surprised ford hasn’t dusted off the design and reintroduced it.

I think a lot of these are second (or third) cars for some families and probably see much less miles per year than the average commuter car. I have a diesel truck that gets similar mileage to this and while $150 fill ups suck, I typically go a month or more on a tank since the truck only gets used for “truck” type…

Yeah, but I would think most people with an EV would want it inside for charging. Assuming it’s connected to a charger, but outside, I would assume there is a way to preheat the car and melt off some of that snow?

It’s an interesting question, but I’m guessing most people driving a 100k per ev are probably garage parking it.  

$700 would be tough anywhere in the US, unless you put a lot down or bought prior to 2000. $2800 would be a nice house in 75% of the country (mainly because only 25% of the population is willing to live there)

I don’t know if we still do, but at one point Missouri had a rule that you had to spend “X” amount of dollars attempting to fix a vehicle that couldn’t pass. Once you did that, pass or not, you were good for another two years.

I’m not 100% certain it was the first one titled in my name, but I still have the first car I bought on my own. 92 wrangler, It’s no longer my only vehicle, but I still drive it a few 1000 miles a year.  I’ll probably keep it until I die

Agreed, I was more commenting on the original posters value of time and even when speed of your goal flying is only guaranteed to be faster if the drive is 10+ hours

The CNBC story has a correction at the bottom saying they removed an incorrect figure for cost increase, which was likely the 25k number.

I travel a lot for work my general rule for what's it's worth under 5 hours better to drive 5-8 hours depends on the flights and destination, over 8 usually faster to fly, but I have done several 8-10 hour drives faster than I could fly when everything is taken into account
