Is the $16,500 a reasonable price for a 23 year old vehicle?

I've no clue of the market for these vehicles.

That seems extremely pricey but it is also a really nice example of a rare-ish vehicle.

Surprising is the auto tranny in the turbo truck. Most of the turbo Toys got manuals, while the turbo 4Runners got the auto's. The ol' RTEC makes me nervous but it looks like the owner has a good understanding of the finicky turbo.

Nice find.

IIRC, original price was $20k about 4 months ago.

Turbo 4cyls and weight do not mix. I turbo'd a Mighty Max 4x4 and put a cabover camper on it. On hills it would overheat or blow the intake hose off their couplings. Or on one trip it grenaded the transmission. I gave up on the cabover idea and bought a 4x4 van with a v8 (hopefully soon to be a diesel). Don't get me wrong I think the Sunraiders are awesome rigs as I almost bought one from the local junkyard for $3000 which even with the salvage title was probably a good deal. I think I would swap in a large v6 or small v8 and a really stout tranny.

My sister had one for a long time, sold it to the ex-brother-in-law for $9 grand, I think. The biggest problems they had were brakes (or lack thereof) and rear axles. This one at least mentions "Full Floating 1 ton rear axle, not the bad axle like many others...".

That thing is super clean. Very well kept rig. Seems a little pricey.. but who knows how rare a turbo/auto version is.
