2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 4x4 4WD with 103K original miles - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle automotive sale

Price aside, what do you guys think of this one? Is rust generally something to avoid?

Like the plague. Especially since your in CA. You should be able to get a rust free rig that's been in Cali it's whole life. The photo's of the undercarriage show some very liberal use of spray paint to cover up the rust. Also that "new heavy rear differential cover" is because the axle housing rusted through. Stay away.

If your serious about getting one start looking at Reno and places in AZ. Both areas area also rust free zone and the prices are a lot cheaper. A plane ticket and a drive back would easily be worth it for the right vehicle from the right owner.

It's probably worth a look. Only a close in person inspection can tell you if the rust is beyond consideration. Give the photo of the under carriage, I bet it opened the door for a lower price though...

I paid a stoopid price for my garage queen low- mile 02 Sport Edition. No rust...underside looks new. CA car. Drives like new.

I figured...I could wait for months and months and look around. But it was for sale and the guy's phone was blowing up with calls within an hour of the c-list ad. Color I wanted. Year and model I wanted.

So I shut that sh*t down by offering more than he was asking. Paid for it cash an hour later.

I got exactly the one I wanted. If I drive it five years and take a $5k hit...still a cheap ride. $83 a month.

If you really want the car...just pay what they're asking.

This is sage advice. Good cars, good trucks and good motos are worth the $ from honest sellers. If you find a good value, honor the seller with an honest offer or match of their asking price.

10K for a weekend camping rig? A bit high, yes. I would look for something about half that price. You don't need locker/limited. Seats are personal preference but for me I'd avoid the leather.

10k is a lot for a car that is 20 years old.

I think if I was going to spend that kind of cash, I would be looking at a Land Cruiser. Personally.

the seller has had this on the market for a while. Way overpriced in SoCal for a rusty frame truck. I wouldn't touch it. Fixing rust properly is not cheap

You can get 2wd and beat 4x4 really cheap in Los Angeles area, Some small local dealer has been buying up all the clean 4x4's and cleaning them up and trying to get 10k - 14k for them. I looked for mine for months and ended up flying up to Portland. 2000 V6 SR5 Sport with 5 speed zero rust on the frame. Really good shape. The guy was asking 8.5K I got it for 6.5k Still $2k over blue book.

I agree there are a ton of these out there. Just not a lot of really clean body/interior and rust free 4x4's.

Another poster said what's your time worth?

What do you all think the going price is for a 2002 SR5 4WD 4Runner?

165K miles, new brakes & calipers, timing belt, radiator hoses and pumps?

Here is an unwashed iPhone photo from this morning.


I'm new to the forum, and need my 15 posts to post an ad, but I want to be realistic about the price, and what is the important info to post.

Thanks
-Alex

Things to note: condition of tires, interior cleanliness, condition of seats, does everything work including antenna, any rust spots on body (looks good), we here are really interested in underside pics showing extent of rust but the average buyer probably doesn't give it a second look.

Overall maybe ask for 9 and accept lower?

Got it, thanks!

Without putting it on a lift - what is the best way to shoot underside photos?

I was thinking $7.5K do you think that is too low?

Another stupid question: Blur out the license plate?

Why? why not?

Thanks
