Says >hes selling for less than total cost of buying it and >importing it.....yeah right. 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. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
