jimmy jet Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 i have a 1985 toyota pickup that just barely passed the california smog check. two years from now i probably wont be so lucky. i thought i might like to purchase a 1975 or older toyota truck at that time, until such time that i will get an electric vehicle. 1975 and older is exempt from smog checks. is there a good way to go about this ?

Leighcm Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Probably eBay or Traderonline...those are about the only ones I can think of that you might be able to find an old truck like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanoid Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 In the L.A. area you should try craigslist too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy jet Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 i have 2 years. is there much of a chance that someone from this forum would be selling one ? another option - get a toyota car that is 1975 or older, just to keep for a few years. are there any models that i should look towards ? any models that i should steer away from ? i just want something dependable, where parts are still easy to get, and that doesnt have to be smogged. i dont drive a lot (6,000 miles a year or so).

Corolla is probably your best bet...more of those than anything. And they were pretty simple, so repairs should be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy jet Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 thanks - either a truck or a corolla, then - is my plan of attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
