Seen one today going to call for price tomorrow. Is 86 or 87 EFI Turbo Automatic. EX Cab Power Windows and Sunroof so guessing that makes it a SR5. Lots of rust. Not quite golf ball size holes all in the bed. Missing some of the bumper pieces. Body lift running on off brand AT 33's. Seats are torn, unsure if the power windows still work. Any clue on what its worth? Will I know if the turbo is working just driving it?
 
Yo,
Being an automatic, $1500 - $3000 depending on how bad someone wants a rust bucket. Turbo starts cranking around 3000 rpm and there is a boost light on the dash. Don't expect much if the engine is old. Working on those motors is TOUGH. Oil line to turbo plus cooling line to turbo makes for a long day
to put things back. And, that little U shaped lower radiator hose metal pipe best be put on early in the reassembly process or you get to do it all over again.

Mine is strong on the highway. Can pass cars with gusto. CT20 turbo rebuild kits available. Upgrade with Supra 5M AFM and turbo works good. Intercooler and boost adjuster will make a substantial difference in power.Need to ditch the automatic. Don't need turbo for rock crawling.

Just my $0.02 :beer:
