Yup..ok na ok yan LS pick up or might say TFR series. Yan ang present car namin,have it since 1998 as second hand car,1st owner as company car,ginamit nila for 2 years then nabenta sa amin,so far wala akong naging major problem lalo na sa suspension,almost 10 yrs. bago ako nakapagpalit. Ngayon base sa estimate ko,ang odo nya is almost 300k na and still doing fine. Nagpalit na kasi ako ng gauge,naaksidente kasi ako nun at nasira yung orig na gauge nya.This year im planning to overhaul my transmission,ever since di pa rin ako nakapagpalit...clutch repair kit pa lang. Sa makina naman,thermostat housing pa lang,nabulok na kasi yung mga tubing sa kalumaan na rin at sa starter naman, napudpod na yung armature nya,orig pa ang aircon pero di na sya ganun kalamig compared sa mga bago. Calibrated once dahil sa leak,never naging mausok.Medyo lumalabas na lang yung mga kalawang ng body,actually marami nang bulok yung trunk,plano ko rin na ipa-repair yung trunk,baka anyone of you na meron alam kung saan makakabili ng trunk including tailgate,isang buo, yung isasalpak na lang,baka mas makamura kasi kesa ipa-repair ko. Thanks guys

I too can attest to the durability of these LS pickups. Got a '96 TFR w/ the 4jb1-t engine. No major repairs 'til now aside from having the inject. pump calibrated 5 years ago...though she's not on her glory days anymore, she is still very much alive and kicking! She has 232k on her odo and is purely stock. Consumption is at 9km/L and 12-13km/L on long trips. Id say she's for keeps.

*DieselDI -- sir, why not just have it repaired and repainted? i've seen good paint/body jobs on one of the abundant bodyshops in marikina...

*blue_gambit -- sir, going price for the 4x2 should range from 200k-260k depending on the mileage and how well the rig has been maintained; i would say you can also find a 4x4 along that range, maybe just add up 20-30k on the ceiling
