EDITED: old first post
Hello everyone. My name is Steve. I come from a owning Volvo's for a long time. I recently just sold my 98 S70 T5 to another forum member that flew out to philadelphia from Chicago.
After it sold that same night i was looking for circa 91-97 Toyota Land Cruisers. Narrowed the search down to 95-97 LX450 or Land cruiser. For the Heck of it I looked into 4 runners but mostly 3rd gen. Came across a semi scam sounding Craigslist AD selling a 03 V8 SR5 listed cheap. It had a phone number listed, i call leave a message, emailed and texted. No answer till exactly 1 week later.
Turns out dude listed car when he was on a job site, 700 miles away then realized he was not able to get home for another week. I emailed first and coincidentally, called as he was going to call me back. After a little of back and forth negotiating. finding a blinking ac light = non working ac, no documentation on timing belt service. I stole this car for almost half Nada market value.
So if you read this far, i am going to stop boring you and get to the car.
2003 V8 SR5, Aftermarket Sunroof, Aftermarket Leather, seat heaters, JBL Synthesis, two tier cargo thing in the back, and OEM running boards. long list of going to dealer for service work. dealer replaced reman trans @ 145k and now she is at 164k. several bulbs out, 90% of bulbs out on radio. couple of rattles from passenger side area. need to be detailed, but other wise its a nice running car.
This thread will document, what i did and what it was to what it has become!
First day with it.
Fixed the AC blinking issue. it was not a bad relay or anything. Dealer did a flsuh and refill on the freon and some how reinstalled the MT CLT back in the foglight spot. So previous owner declined a $1750 repair, sold it cheaper because of someone's mistake. I was ready to replace all the crap on the original service order too. A little search on this forum saved my @ss a ton of money
