Bought a new car, wont be in for a month so I need to decide what to do with my 4Runner, trade in or sell. I have a 40 mile , 1 way commute to work and can't justify the gas expense, we already have a mini van.
I love this thing and it has served me well the last 10 years, I am the 2nd owner.
I'm just looking to see if anyone would be interested before making a decision, I have a ballpark that the dealer will give me and what i am looking for is less that the Blue Book value.
Here are a some facts
138,000 miles
4WD, 6 cylinder, Gray
Sony CD player installed
Runs fantastic, no problems at all
Had new front brakes/rotors last year
Front tires, pretty new, back tires should be replaced soon.
Always maintained w/oil changes etc. timing belt replaced a few years ago.
Problems I am aware of:
The gas cap cover broke off in sub-zero weather a few years ago. i still have it and someone could most likely just weld to repair.
The AC does not consistenly work, sometimes it has a high pitched squeal sound. Other times works perfectly.
I know this car has at least another 100,000 in it. I am thinkin fo asking $3,000. Thoughts? Interest?

Got Pic?

I might have an interest... if not.. Slip???
no Karl, too late, wife just got a brand new car. happy birthday to her. hello car payment for me.


sounds like a decent ride

Photo? Any rust? Thanks.

If I needed a vehicle I would be all over this in a heatbeat.
Gotta love Toyota for their dependability. Good price too...

I'll take some pics and send. No body rust, but th tow package and back bumper are rusty. I'll take some pics and send out and post

is it auto or standard

Automatic Transmission.
Here are some pics. We cleaned it up this weekend and I decided not to trade in but to sell oursleves. The $3000 still stands for S-B but I am going to ask $3400 elsewhere.
Let me know if you're intersted.

pics

you can see the bumper and tow package rust.
has sunroof, roof racks, running boards

Are you carrying something heavy in the back?

how many plugs? :hee:

3k? wow, now there is a deal, someone will jump on it, I love my 4Runner-go anywhere...
probably needs shocks, most 4Runners do around 125k

bump

Any advice on selling this? I posted in auto trader and craigslist adn only 1 guy in a month has taken a look. Hes been back twice and is still interested but I am wondering why I am not getting a better response? No calls at all, I'm asking @ $2000 less than other similar 4runners for sale?

no clue, that is a great deal IMHO

Hi Jimmy,

No offense please. I think because it is going on 13 years old people worry about major stuff going wrong. Also it would have to be a cash deal because you cannot finance that age vehicle. Gas mileage is not great.
It would have to be a very specific buyer with a specific use intended.

Did the dealer offer you under $1,000.00? Hang in there... I think it would make a great second/third beach vehicle for short distance hauls.
