The kid looks pretty gay as it is, and driving that truck would just confirm it...
And dude, if this is legit (200% doubt it) take the Cash, buy another truck and build it up again. You're guranteed 10-20K left over.

Remember that you are dealing with a minor. Any contract he makes with you wouldn't hold up in court, and you could be screwed by the deal. I would say not to do it unless a parent of his goes through the deal for him (the parent signs the bill of sale and hands you the cash). I just covered this in a business law class, so you got to be careful when dealing with minors and large purchases.
but if you can sell it for that much, do it!!! buy you another 02, put offroad mods on it since I thought thats what you were thinking about doing anyways and still have money left over.

Tell hm to put up or shut up. Tell him he will drive to a location YOU decide on, and will come with CASH. He will show the cash first, then you call your friend and have him drive the 4runner in from across the way. That way, if the little smartass decides to be cute and try to jack you, he wont be stealing anything.
Thats the abridged version. I could explain my idea in detail, but i think you get the jist.

x100! This is the best advice you've gotten so far. Deal with his parents if you decide to sell to him.

a week after I bought my 4 runner a guy asked me how much I would sell it for I said 8k and he counter offered me 4k I should have said 5 and sold it and doubled up my money and bought another 1st gen from the west coast.
I say sell it for cash only and have him drive down and pay you and make it very clear that you don't want him wasting your time or his unless he will pay the price you are asking.
I have to say he looks like a clown and is full of s*** BUT he is from the nicer end of Chicago.
30k is a good lump of cash make sure to have a friend or 2 there.

...I did this with my old tacoma. Kid wanted it. I told him the contract would be between myself and his dad. I had him meet me at a bank with a cashiers check. I took it right in and made sure it was good. I had a buddy with me and was armed. I mailed him the title once the cashiers check had cleared.
Good luck!
Good luck!

For a small fee me and my brother's will ride out there and play the strong arm back up for you if you do sell it. Badges in hand undercover work is so fun

Take the cash, you should have told that fool that it was a special edition or some junk and jacked the price to 40K. If he/parents are foolish enough to pay that then let it go. I'll sell you my 01 for 30K and then you can mod it out and I'll get a new tundra.

as everyone said..cash in hand and make sure you count it first!
with 30k you could buy a street 4runner and an offroad 4runner..and have some extra cash to mod them both!
