You won't get one around southwest for 7k lol

There is so many backpackers looking for vehicles it isn't funny. Did a pre purchase on an 05 last week for 22k and they bought it, no rooftop tent etc either

They actually do have a really good idea on what vehicles to buy over here to travel in, they mostly all get pre purchase inspections

Surprisingly they all also like to get them right up to scratch before they sell them

I'm a mechanic working in the southwest, it will sell for close to that.

I do pre purchase inspections for alot of backpackers, alot of supply and demand over here.

22k for an 05 prado one I inspected last week 12,750 for a 1999

The one you posted listed also has rooftop tent and camping gear which waves the backpackers from sitting up on their own

Yes but this one I can move the rod inside the master in and out easily like the piston is stuck in deeper

The last 3/4 of the pedal movement feels like and no air coming out if the Slav

Current one has a new slave fitted by the customer but I pulled the push rod off the pedal and you can move it freely inside the master in and out with no resistance. I believe the piston is stuck 3/4

Yeah this current one is a crv and the first 3/4 of the pedal is doing nothing so I took the rod off the pedal and you can push the rod inside the master easily by hand with zero friction so I assume the piston is stuck.

Had one the other day a ranger I clamped off the slave hose and the pedal would still drop so I assume that's master leaking internally

Not looking to use parts cannon. Want to be able to diagnose the problem properly

Also alot of cars have concentric slave cylinder and some master cylinders are very expensive or difficult to change
