No regrets at all. I've been searching for one of these for a while. Finding one in the ONW, specifically Bend, OR is not easy.

Don't forget about adding in taxes and fees. I paid $9k for my 2005 v6 4x4 with 140k 2 years ago but had $2k in taxes and fees.

ouch!

My state taxes and fees totaled $337 ;)

Hi all, looking for some advise and as I'm new I'm unable to start a new thread. Looking to purchase my first 4runner in Ontario Canada. I've found a 2007 white sr5 with 75000 km on it. Original owner, absolutely mint. Garage kept, not winter driven. New tires, all fluids good, no rust anywhere. Has all documentation, original window sticker etc. He's asking 21000 Canadian. Now I know these trucks hold their value and I really like it but do you think given the condition Id be overpaying?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Well you're not giving enough info, while you say it's a "2007 white sr5 with 75000 km", you leave out very important info, while including that it's white which is mostly irrelevant you don't say if it's 4WD or 2WD, V8 or V6 both of which affect the price, also does it have leather, heated seats, sunroof, or any other options.

I will however add a translation for price and mileage for us Americans so everyone else won't have to look that up and then maybe you will add the other info!

75,000 km = 46,603 miles

21,000 CD = $15,961.78

My apologies! In my excitement I'm leaving out the details!
It's a v6 4wd
Cloth seats, no sunroof, I believe just the base trim. I believe 16 inch six spoke aluminum wheels with new Cooper AT tires. It does have led tail lights, don't know if that was an option or not. Keyless entry, power windows. Basic radio.
Does come with full weathertech mats front, rear, and back area.
Sorry if I'm leaving anything else out.
And thank you auseeker for the translation, I'll make sure to include that next time!

Thanks

One big thing is to check the frame for rust; they're known for it unfortunately. By that year the V6 head gasket issue was fixed so you shouldn't have any issues with that to look out for. LED tail lights are correct for that year. It does have very few miles on it, I'd want to know if there's a reason for that (maybe by some stroke of luck it wasn't driven in the winter!), and I would check anything that could go wrong from not getting used; not doing fluid changes as often as necessary and so forth. Sounds like a good deal though, just make sure to inspect that frame thoroughly! If you're not sure, post pics and we can help give you an idea of parts of the frame to check more closely if anything seems suspicious.

Matthew,

If you had read his first post, he says it was never driven in the winter and has no rust anywhere, and all fluids are good, and a original owner so it sounds like it was well taken care of.

I'm not sure of how much a 4th Gen sells for up in Canada but it sounds like it should be worth around what the seller is asking but I would still try and get it for much, much less starting off, you can always go up on an offer but it's hard to go down if you offer close to what they're asking at the beginning of a negotiation

Yup, you're right, major fail! Not sure how I did that. In that case it sounds like a great find to me.

Thank you to both of you for your advise and insight. All the evidence points towards an honest seller and just happened to luck out. I'll keep you all updated and share some pics if I end up getting it!

The real cost was more like $8,200 though:

$1,100 for a set of new tires and tire pressure sensors
$300 for a used brake master cylinder to fix a failing pump/accumulator
$300 in other miscellaneous parts (air filters, spark plugs, driver's sun visor, radiator cap, fuel filler cap, HVAC knobs light bulbs, battery ground strap, 4 transponder keys, 2 keyless entry remotes)

2008 Limited 4.7 95k miles $16k at a Toyota dealer. New trade in that hadn't hit the lot. I got to look at it when it was up on their lift.

Called my credit union to see what they valued it at...she said $17k. I find I get better local used values doing that rather than KBB.

Every recommended service until I bought it was done at a Toyota dealer. I downloaded the service history from Toyota.

Exhaust manifolds have already been done, and I got the dealer to replace the center differential lock actuator under their 2 month/3000 mile powertrain warranty.

Even more important, there is minimal rust on it. That's hard to find in Maine...where vehicles over a few years old look horrible.

It was the only V8 I could find within a 2-3 hour drive. I had been looking for a while.

Gosh, that seems high for one that old with the high mileage. These are going the same way as the jeep wrangler, very sought after...

2007 Sport Edition, 4wd, V8 with 17 inch TRD wheels wrapped in 265 70r17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Retail here in SC is $13,500. Got it for $7400. 173k miles. Had the Christmas tree dash lights, but corrected it for $100! Came with the tires and wheels. Had it a week. 😎

2006 SR5 V6 4x4
203k Miles
Paid $8,500 with tax and license

Paid another $3,500 for:
Bilstein 5100’s front and rear
Moog FJ springs front and rear
Daystar rear spacer
TRD Offroad Wheels x5
255/75/17 Duratracs x5
Wilco Offroad hitchgate
New calipers x4
Pads and rotors x4
Jersey built front hubs x2
Timken rear bearings x2 - Dealer installed
Painted aftermarket spoiler
Lifetime Alignment
Remote start
Trans fluid flush
Diff / transfer case service
Krown rustproofing

All-in I’m at $12k and a lot of wrenching for a truck that looks good and cruises at 80 all day smooth as silk.
