At the time it was a old, odd, noisy, hot/cold, underpowered pickup and no one had any interest in it. People would laugh at me in it (good natured of course)It just didn't make sense to put money into it when the transmission blew up. It did not make good lawn art either. "Hilux" is not short for High Luxury. My head hit the roof a few times on bumps. Also I have owned/own several Toyota 4x4 vehicles over the years and they are all worth more than what I paid and sold them for. My present '03 Tacoma 4x4 Single cab SR5 with very low miles is still worth what I paid for it.
