Shipping it to a relative quite a distance away, didn't feel like
driving it there and flying back, and shipping it was actually about the
same price, when you add in gas, meals, overnight stay and plane ride back.

Interesting. I have never shipped a car but it seems pretty popular
with the snow birds here. My wife says auto carriers will drop a whole
load at her gate. I guess they "club up" together to fill a truck.

What did it cost?

$350 to bumfuch, tennessee, for the truck driver, plus $129 for the
booking agent. About 600 miles. The one way airfare was about $250.

There's some sort of bidding process for the drivers, which the agent
handles. Very friendly people, Florida based. I'll email you the contact
info if you want.

I may be interested in a guy to move a pontoon boat from Dayton to Ft

The IRS doesn't drive away repossessed cars.

Looks in good shape. I believe the 4Runner was based on the Tacoma..or what came before it, maybe a T100??
I thought about one for a minute or two but felt the smoother riding Highlander would suit me and the boss a bit better. Believe the Highlander was based originally on the Camray.

Yeah, I believe the 4Runner is built on the Tacoma chassis. Separate
frame and body, not monocoupe. It really was a great vehicle, with
absolutely no problems and only the usual maintenance items - tires,
wiper blades, a battery, brakes...that's about it. Toyota does it right,
most of the time.

We have had pretty good luck with Hondas but we also seem to do well
with Fords.. We paid $3500 for old "brownie", drove it for 10 years
and sold it for almost $5000 (Thanks Barack)

I also had 2 E-150 Econolines that treated me well and the 2000 Sport
Trak we have now is still doing well. My 97 Prelude is still getting
the job done with embarrassingly little maintenance.
