Money for repairs ...minimal. Timing belt every 100K (which is just over $1,100, radiator, alternator, starter, & replacing the X-REAS suspension system. I have never owned a vehicle this long that I trust!!
what's crazy is you'll still get 10-12k for that truck right now.

Thanks! I'm really pleased with it.

Kevin at Eibach Tech Support was incredibly helpful. (800-222-8111 ext. 114)

He recommended that I set the front shock height adjustment c-clip to the 1st ring. This is the least amount of front lift, so it retains a bit of the rake but allows for the occasional heavy load. This my daily driver and is on pavement 90% of the time, so it seemed a good compromise.

HTH!

Paid 8,500 for my 07 SR5. It was listed at 10,000 but I asked if they would take 8,500 for it and they did it. Got it at the local Infiniti dealer here in town. Had been on their lot for over 3 months and I just think they wanted to get rid of it. They also put a new battery in it cause the one in it was dead.

Neighbor and first owner was selling his 2006 t4r sport 2wd. Had 256k miles, a couple dash lights (tpms and emissions light if memory serves), 1 inch rip in drivers seat, speedo lights not working, intermit wipers not working

Paod him $1800 for it, and she is cherry besides the couplebthings mentioned above.

Replaced the gas cap,

did and exhaust bypass kit (cant think of the proper term for it, dealt with emmissions)

Sewed up the seat

LED swapped the speedo cluster thinking bad LEDs, but new ones didnt work, so swapped out cluster and did BLUE LED swap.

Blue LED ac control swap (removed tpms LED since not running tpms sensors)

Fresh 3m 5% tint with 55% ceramic on windshield

Cerakote headlight restoration kit Amazon.com: CERAKOTE Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit – Guaranteed To Last As Long As You Own Your Vehicle – Brings Headlights back to Like New Condition - 3 Easy Steps - No Power Tools Required : Automotive

Stuff that is up and coming

I have a set of tacoma off rd front coilovers on standby, along with 4runner specific rear shocks. Will do end links, upper and lower control arms as well, and all ball joints, and all bushings.

Pending brake system replacement (4 calipers, rotars, 1 dust shield, and lines)

Lastly need to do spark plugs.

Going to do some emergency vehicle lighting for use during disaster relief (rear directional, 4 corner hideaway stobes, visor lights, and side lighting)

Ditch lighting and rear pod lights, debating on side pods or light bars (for use at my farm in BFE georgia)

Overall for $1800 bucks in april 2021, i got a steal.

Bought my 2003 Limited 2WD in 2019 with 150,000 miles for $8,500. Ever since I've had a couple routine maintenance items (brake pads, spark plugs, oil/filter, coolant drain & fill, and so on). I recently had a 3" lift installed on it (camburg x-joint upper control arms, Old Man Emu Medium Springs, Bilstein 5100s), and still ironing out some issues. I installed a prinsu roof rack, arb 2.5 meter awning, and a skycamp mini roof top tent. I really wish it was 4WD, but I didn't realize how important it was until I kept getting stuck. Now my goal is to rack up 300k miles on what I have then swap it out for a 4WD 4th Gen.

2007 V-8 Sport Suspension Limited Loaded 40k 'out the door. It was the sales managers brand new demo so he didn't really want to let it go. He had it about a week.

2007 Sport V6 4wd with 130k miles for 14k back in 2019.

I should have kept looking for a better deal but I was in dire need of a vehicle. Oh well, I love her to death.

It's been 8 years, and I just remember that in 2013 I bought a 2008 V8 Sport Limited for $30K. It has leather and towing, and I think that was the cost to me with a 7 year loan.

Bought my '08 with about 165K miles on it right before the covid hit the fan. Paid $9000 for it. Runs like a champ and I absolutely love tinkering on it. So far I've put on Bilsteins, reverse camera, touch screen Sony radio, new speakers all around, removed interior and laid down soundproofing EVERYWHERE (SO much quieter now).
