linda s Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Best of all it's got the 5 speed manual tranny. Rare in any v6 toyota motorhome but I think even rarer in Sunraders. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdboltdude Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 When I started looking at toyhomes Az always had the best ones at a good $$ maybe because its a retirement community state and rv are well kept up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdboltdude Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 This one has already been listed far longer than I expected.

snail powered Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 was wondering the same thing how can this still be up for sale? I have seen a lot of that on craigslist. They just let it run until it expires even though it is sold. This guy does not want to get emails which is an indication that someone else posted the ad for him. Probably one of his kids or a friend. The owner might not even have a computer, many older people don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy does not want to get emails which is an indication that someone else posted the ad for him. That was how it was with my rig, they did not respond to emails and never did take down the ad. Their son posted it for them but he was not involved in it after that. So even though it was sold the ad was still up there for many days after I drove it away. good point your probable right karin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Well if it's still there it is a great deal. Owned by an old guy with a beautiful house and he's owned it at least since 2011. I'm a google snoop. You can see it through the trees on street view. Map data 2011. Nice Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I must be missing something here. The seller is asking top dollar and is not exactly a "bargain" price. Yes . . I understand some people are willing to blow that much money but the reasons why escape me. Plenty turn up is similar condition in the $6000-$7000 price ranges and more that need work down in the $2000-$3000 ranges. Nice looking rig, yes. 5 speed is also nice, but come on. You can swap in a 5 speed (in place of a 4) for $400. The ad does say "OBO", so I wonder how much less the seller was willing to take (or already took). That all being said, a nice looking 88 Minicruiser in my area (central NY) sold recently for $9000 which is pretty much unheard of around here. But the seller took the time to advertise it on Ebay. Who knows? Mabye somebody on the west coast bought it. For anyone that truly thinks it's a rare bargain - why not buy it and resell it quickly? If I did that for my area -I'd be lucky to get $6000-$7000 for it under normal circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Prices for everyone! http://prescott.craigslist.org/rvs/4040139956.html I wish I was closer. I'd buy them in a flash. Hey - even includes a 5 speed. Funny thing about those 70s Toyotas and windshields (crack mentioned). I found out recently how hard it is to find a replacement windshield for a 1978 Toyota truck. New ones are no longer made and seems not stocked anywhere. Used windshieds tend to have faded plastic in them that makes them not-so-good and illegal in some places. I got searching for a good windshield for one of my 78s and went though half-a-dozen used ones before I found something I could use. Eve that one has bad spots with almost opaque faded plastic in the middle of the glass plies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no way of knowing if that 1988 Minicruiser actually sold on Ebay. It is listed as SOLD for $8900. I know that many vehicles listed as SOLD never really did sell. And of course, some did. It was near me and advertised as having only 23K miles on it. There was a Sunrader near me around the same time for $3000 that looked pretty good - so hard to figure. If I was to sell my Minicruiser after investing $1800 in the purchase and then going completely though it ? That means checking every moving part, fixing any RV part so it works, fixing any sign of rot, etc.. Depends how much I needed the money but I'd be hoping to get $4000-$5000. I've got a 1986 4WD turbo-diesel small RV based on a Chevy K5 Blazer. 100% gone through mechanically. New tires, new Firestone Ride-Ride air suspension, newly rebuilt and upgraded auto transmisson with custom built lock-up torque converter. Pop up roof, 4WD, HD trailer hitch, propane heat, three beds, etc. I was offered $6000 last year and did not sell it. Last month I put it on Ebay and the highest offer I got was $1800. So, who knows? We have a poor ecomony that is supported by printing billions of fake dollars every month along with over 16% unemployment (in real numbers). So I'm not sure if that makes people less inclined to buy Toyota RVs or maybe MORE inclined? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
