What year is it? Price? Here Masterace Surfs go (Japanese imports,
present in large numbers) for about $1500-3000US. The Masterace name
was dropped for later models (or was it the Tonace badge? Can't
remember for sure). Looked at a 93 4WD 2.0 TD for $2000US but decided
against it. Partly because the turbo was obviously not turning...
bearings probably failed due to crud buildup. Didn't go very well
either, like the 86 2.4turbodiesel  Hiace Super Custom I once
tried... it did 137kmh but again the turbo obviously wasn't spinning.
