FS: 2000 4Runner SR5 5-Speed Manual - White - $9,500 neg. - Highlands Ranch, CO

Looking for a loving home and some wild-n-free time on-road or off-road!

For Sale
  • White
  • Tan interior
  • 2000
  • Toyota 4Runner
  • SR5
  • 5-Speed Manual Transmission
  • ABS
  • Air conditioning
  • Sun / moon roof
  • Roof Rack
  • Needs work
  • 181K+ miles
  • $9,500 negotiable
  • Highlands Ranch, CO

~~~~~

From her AutoTrader listing:

Great base for building an off-road vehicle. As-Is, no warranties express or implied. Known to need clutch work, but otherwise runs well. 14 years old, 181K miles, a few scratches, rock dings, and freckles. We are negotiable on price, but you must come out to see the vehicle and then make an offer! Cashier's check, 3rd party financing, or PayPal payment accepted. Highlands Ranch, CO area.

~~~~~

Because this is a group of 4Runner peeps, I'll go into the rest of the scoop here upfront so as not to waste anyone's time, it might fall into the realm of "too much information" but what the heck ...

* I bought her off the dealer lot new in March of 2000 in Virginia. She's been with me for many miles and after the summer of 2000 here hitting the easy trails, we settled here in Colorado in 2001. She enjoys easy to moderate off-road trails, but is a stock 4Runner with no off-road specific mods.

* Initially, I was only planning to keep her 5-10 years then move to a Jeep, but it's been hard to part with her. I'm ready now as 14 years between cars is more than enough for me. Also I want to do more/harder off-roading with Hubby where I'm not sitting in his passenger seat so I'm ready for my 2015 Jeep Hard Rock (ordered!) with all the bells and whistles, which has off-road capability out of the box that could take years for my skills to meet or exceed.

* As I mentioned in the short-n-sweet AutoTrader blurb above, I think she'd make a great base for an off-road build. We're not wrenchers, though, so building her up ourselves is not really an option for us. I'd like to find her a new home where she'll get some ongoing tender loving care and maybe a second career. :0) An on-road future is good too of course!

* We do have a loan with our credit union secured with her as collateral, so there will be some delay between purchase/possession and receipt of title as we'll have to pay off the loan first. They're usually very quick about it though, less than a week the last vehicle we paid off.

* I do not have maintenance logs for her (I was a newbie car owner when I got her and had no idea the potential value of tracking it all meticulously; I now have reams of receipts and such for the vehicles we've gotten since then, but that doesn't help in her case).

* She hasn't seen that much use over the past 6 years as hubby and I have motorcycles we use for most daily travel and take his Jeep when we want to run trails. She mostly now goes back and forth to the doggie park and to/from tests and trials. Yes, there's dog hair everywhere that I'll clean as best I can before viewing and again before possession, but if you're highly allergic be forewarned there might be a hair or two left.

* The driver's side has a big old dent / scratch along the side. That happened 12 years ago, along with the dents in both running boards. Some off-road fun, er I mean trail kisses. I never had any of it fixed because, quite frankly, it never bothered me.

* Windshield is cracked, I'm happy to have that replaced for you after payment / before pick-up. Last time I had it replaced it was hit by a rock on my way home from work a week later and had cracked by the next morning before I could even get it in to have the chip fixed, so I've had no desire to replace it again for myself for doggie transport duty.

* She had clutch work done a few years ago, and is about due for it again as it's slipping again. She has her good days, and her bad days. Some days it seem bad enough that your test drive would be a test ride-in-the-passenger seat around the neighborhood and then tow-it-home scenario. Other days she's fine. From what I've been told, it appears she has a "rear main seal" leak that is impacting the clutch. The repair place quotes about $2,500 to fix both so I've already dropped my asking price from the $12,000 I was planning to ask. If you do your own work, you can fix her for much less than that I'm sure so: bargain!

* Other than the clutch and the seal leak, she runs well and the only time she had any work beyond standard maintenance was the week I bought her - there was an issue with the coolant system that they fixed under warranty. Hmm, oh and the seat-belt on driver's side is slow to retract on release, but that doesn't affect driving / handling of course. Oh oh and I backed into a garage with her once, so there's a dent on the back and the back windshield washer isn't working all that great, but no water leaks and the back window slides up and down just fine (and man am I going to miss having an up/down back window with the dogs, peeps just don't seem to make then in many other models).

* Tires are fairly new, I'll get the date / miles when I clean her out before more pictures.

* The remote keyless entry fob is long gone. I do have multiple keys to send with her.

* Has never been in an on-road accident, just the trail kisses and garage bump as noted above.

That's all I can think of! Let me know as you have questions.

So, in conclusion, let me repeat: we are very negotiable. But. We will not negotiate with ourselves. If you ask me what the lowest prices is that I'd accept, that answer is "list price". If you come out and look at her, then make me a reasonable offer, well then that's something else entirely and we'll likely come to an agreement with which we'll both be happy.

~~~~~~~

Here are some exterior pics, an odometer pic, and a VIN pic. I'll get more pics up this weekend both interior and exterior!

I saw this on Autotrader and had to laugh.

As a prospective buyer, why would you insist on wasting everyone's time by asking over double what it's worth then insisting on meeting up to "negotiate"?

You're joking right?

It needs serious work, it has nearly 200k miles and the there's a ginormous dent in the door and rear hatch. Just price it for the lowest you'll want to take and if someone offers you anything over 4k, you should rapidly accept.

I just sold my 2000 SR5 4WD with 109k, in mint condition (and I mean it..drivetrain and engine maintenance up to date, clean body, upgraded bluetooth deck, all weather floor mats, upgraded tires and suspension..) for a little less than 8k. And I consider myself fortunate. I understand how much the vehicle would mean to you, but I agree with mxer. List for 4 to 5k, sell it, and move on with life in your sexy Jeep :-]

$9500 is a bit far-fetched considering it needs bodywork and a clutch job, wouldn't you say?

I've been as up front as possible so as to NOT waste anyone's time by having them come out to look at it and THEN getting all of this.

Heck, on one of her good days, you might never know about the intermittent clutch issue much less the potential rear seal leak. Considering that the law only requires that I "must disclose whether the vehicle has been: Salvaged. Damaged in a flood. Rebuilt.", I'd say I've gone above and beyond to disclose absolutely everything I can think of.

Those who are not interested after reading could just move on. Those who might be interested but don't the like the price are welcome to contact me.

I'm looking at a 2001 with half the mileage, no body damage, new tires, new timing belt and limited wheels. $7400. YMMV.

Let's take this car with the same mileage---in PRISTINE condition. No problems, no mechanical work needed---nothing.

At BEST for that car...5.9k.

Now take yours: Minus clutch job-REAR MAIN SEAL (....man.)....dent......
3k. Period. And for that price.....(and I AM DESPERATE for a manual tranny 4runner) I still wouldn't buy it.

Why do people think anyone will buy anything with a 4runner label stuck on it with no thought?

I understand not crapping on a for sale thread but... when it's ridiculous, the op should expect the same reaction as they would from a troll post or any of the other stupid things people say and get called out for saying

Really? In your autotrader add it claims it needs clutch work....ie a new clutch. No where does it say it needs a the rear seal seal replaced and that at times you can't even drive it. Also there's 3 pictures all from the side and front. None of the interior or bashed up hatch.
