I have owned this 4runner since March 2005. I bought it with the understanding that I was the 3rd owner. It had 99k miles on it when I bought it, nd it now has 147xxxk. It has been a great second car. I am selling only because I do not have the space for it,
It has recently (within the last6 months)been gone over by a Toyota specialist who did a complete brake job (4 wheel) with new front rotors as I recall, ew wires, nd a new battery, nd a fee other things noted below.
This 4runner runs very well with no problems that I am aware of.
I have not drivenit very much the last few years andafter its been sitting the battery loses its charge. Other than replacing the battery my mechanic found nothing wrong with the charging system.
I also will note that it will not win any horsepower competitions but putting it in "power mode" helps if you are going up a significant grade.
Though not known for horsepower, he 22 re motor is known to last 250k miles or more, hich means this 4runner should have years of use left if the new owner continues to keep the vehicle maintained as I have. I always use full synthetic oil.
It does not seem to burn oil from what I can tell and apart from changing the valve cover gasket recently, y mechanic gave me the impression the motor does not significantlydrip or leak as far as I know,
I had it smog tested today (so that it will be all set if the new owner lives in California) and it passed with flying colors.
It needs a horn button ( I have one and if I can find it will include with the auction.
the cable to slide back the passenger side seat has something wrong with it, he other side works fine.
the 4wds works fine, ut I have only used it twice.
The heat and ac also both work well, s do all the lights, tc.
the power window on the back goes up and down a bit slower than when new (I am guessing) but has never been a problem. the windows inside are not power, nd they work fine.
I recently had a new windshield installed (the old one had a crack) and all of the glass is in perfect shape as far as I know.
the tires are matching BFG All Terrain Radials- I would estimate the tread to be at least 80% on all and all 4 seem to be wearing evenly,
A new muffler was also installed within the last year and a half or so.
The stereo system (alpine am/fm cd) has an amp under the drivers seat and a sub woofer (Bazooka) bass tube in the back and cost me over 1000. when I had it put in when I first bought the truck.
the interior is all original and in good shape- some normal wear. I added a dash cap on the passenger side and the new owner may want to tack it down a bit better with silicone or something like that.
I cant think of anything else and I have tried to disclose above all that I know about the shape of this vehicle. It is what I consider a very nice first gen 4runner with low miles and no rust that I can find.
It gets lots of compliments from people and though not perfect, he paint looks very nice and there are no dents (there area coupledoor dings but nothing that will show in a photo)andI do not believe this vehicle has ever been in any accidents.
If you have any other questions please let me know and I will do my best to answer them.
Shipping is to be arranged by and paid for by the buyer.
This 28 year old 4runner is sold as is with no warranty and no return, f you want to see it in person and test drive I am fine with that as long as we can agree on when to meet up.
a $500 non refundable deposit is due by pay palwithin 24 hours of the close of the auction, he balance of the purchase price must be paid using a bank money order only and sent to me in full within 3 business days of the close of the auction.
First generation 4runners in this condition and with low miles are becoming next to impossible to find. Again, will answer any other questions that I can. If you like this very nice little truck you better BUY IT NOW before someone else does! Thanks for checking out my auction,
