Proud new owner... and pretty Stoked!!!

Attachment 618292008. Just placed a deposit. Flying to Texas next Wednesday to drive back to San Diego. Been looking for a year. Wanted Shadow Mica but pulled the trigger on this one. Had everything else I wanted. Charcoal leather to boot and get this....heated seats! Found it at a Buick Dealership. Retail is 26K, private party excellent is 23K and trade in excellent is 21K. They had it on Ebay reserve was 23K. Got it for 21K! And no more shifting!!!

Needless to mention...my ’99 w/140K is up for sale.

Congrats! I have that same leather on my seats. It is aftermarket leather installed by Gulf States importer, not Toyota. I'm at 98K miles and the leather is just now starting to wear on the driver's seat.

The V8 is great, especially for off-roading, towing, and driving from Texas to Cali at speeds averaging 90 mph, which I did back in Feb. Just ignore the fuel mileage and you'll love it.

Congrats! Awesome truck you found there. I'm just curious, when you pick it up, can you take some pics of the undercarraige? I'm really curious to see what if any rust is on a 3.5 year old 4Runner from Texas (assuming it's stayed all its life in Texas).

I wish I had bought the V8, however the V6 is not bad.

Seems a year was well worth the wait! Congrats on the truck and welcome to the glory of owning the sexiest 4Runner generation! :wink:

Sure I definitely check it out.... One owner. Bought in Austin and all the service records have been done Champion Toyota Scion in Austin. No snow there and its a ways from the coast. But you never know where its been driven.

You'll love the V8 like others said, but your wallet will
Not, for sure!

always wanted a V8. Seem like every vehicle I've had for the last 30 years has been weak.

According to Toyota $Runner History
Toyota 4Runner History 2003


“the iForce V8 has gained a reputation as one of the smoothest, most refined eight-cylinders ever to grace the engine bay of a pickup.”

Re:

I'm glad you picked up that 4runner. I've been eyeballing it while on the deployment. Enjoy it!
