The quest for Bmillsskier's Pathfinder

[Ted Striker]

I know just the guy

[BmillsSkier]

Someone already saved Bmills the time of setting the thousands to 69. He just needs to roll the hundreds to 420. Buy the dream, not the miles.

LOL

I know just the guy

You can trust him, he's a professional.




Oh for fucks sake. This thread bump sent me down the rabbit hole and would you look at this fucking peach of an example I missed out on by a week. I didn't even think to check our good friend Doug Demuro's new bid site. Fuck.

Paint it black and swap in the chrome bumpers and mirrors and that's the top of the mountain boys. Shit.

[Ted Striker]

$6350 that's pretty good. A one owner third gen 4runner in that condition is easily over 10k.

And FYI, don't paint unless you're doing a proper full restoration. It will only decrease the value.

resale only matters if you plan on selling...

[Ted Striker]

Ha, true!

I will have to start.looking but i havent seen one of those in years
Are they all being repaired in different garages out of sight?
If.they were any good you would see them on the road
If.you want a pathminder get.a.4runner

[Ted Striker]

I see them and hardbody PUs on the road all the time.

[abraham]

I saw three of them today in the highway and one of the infinity versions.

I thought red was the goal? Saw this one a couple days ago while stuck in traffic.

$950, Reno. Not gonna get much cheaper than this.

Bmills isn't looking for just any Pathfinder. He wants the body style I posted the link to.

As styles go, dented on diagonal corners with moderate rust seldom gets the appreciation it deserves.

[Ted Striker]

So I'm driving down Mt Baker Highway this afternoon, and whoa, what do we have here?



$1200 OBO

Poke around a bit... odo is in km, so it came from Canada. Where they salt the living shit out of everything. And...



Yep. Sadly that's going to be the case for many of the affordable examples left.

[El Chupacabra]

Yet another one. Bad transmission, $1000.

If rust free, go get it for $500 and replace whatever parts are needed.

Cmon Bmills, are you ever going to buy your Assfinder?

Absolutely. If I can not miss another like this:

Mine never had the provenance of Bmills assfinder, but rust in that very spot is what killed my Pathfinder.

It also later spontaneously combusted at the salvage yard where I scrapped it, which seems like a perfect viking funeral for such a good car.

[Ted Striker]

Ha! I love that.

[BmillsSkier]

To quote Royal Tenenbaum, that sounds “most satisfactory.”

[Djongo Unchained]

I've officially deemed my rig a 'Valley car'. It'll likely not be charging up the passes if'n it don't need to.
It will, and much further, but I'm over maintaining it; and she's still a beaut at 6 am when it has snowed a foot overnight.

Nottalotta...

I haven't even taken off the winter tires, fuckitol.

Thanks man,

I’ll say there’s some bones there on that one, but I’m dying on the brutally honest (but for the pics to the contrary) listing. Sellers kill me anymore.

Between dumb sellers and the crazy market I barely even enjoy cruising CL anymore, and FB marketplace just plain sucks.

[Djongo Unchained]

If that thing ever got 25 mpg, I'd be amazed.

They were rated at 15/19 when new.

Bump. This looks great, even if there is some transmission issue. And. If. The. Owner. Has. Weird. Typing. Habits.

The rare base 2 door! How that thing ever left Japan with an automatic is beyond me.

Per his instructions I’m gonna text the shit out of him.

Thanks as always Chup!
