the Surfs often have a lot more issues than the normies.
I'd go a 4 runner if you want a roof, alternatively a good SR5.

Hilux Surfts = Great cars... Problem is, they are all rubbish nowadays.. Thrashed and bashed ..

You also have to look at where you buy it... Lot of people use them for sand duning, and don't wash them off properly .. So all you buy is hidden rust, and a car that aint worth sh*t...

Save your cash, and step up the funds... Just my $0.02
I just had to add it ......
