88 return GI SR5 XCab 4x4 2L-T in Auto Trader in LA a FAKE

I'm sure I'm not the only one who fell for this ad among us... I saw this ad in the TradeExpress out of Santa Barbara. The ad originated with the AutoTrader, I think. It says what appears to be an '88 SR5 4x4 XtraCab 2L-T that was "Ex Military", or brought back by a serviceman from overseas. I got my Tacoma 3L to finally go 80 mph :boobs: to get to the dealer who placed this ad.

WELL, FAKE!!!!! It was either an honest mistake, or they just wanted to lure Diesel guys in their used truck lot. They have plenty of Chevy & Ford Diesels, but this Toyota is a 22RE. :grr:

Anyhow, this post might save some of the other Toyota Diesel people some false excitement.
