FS 2000 3rd Gen 4Runner 5 Speed 189K miles, but has rust $4,500 OBO. in Virginia
It is time to sell the 4Runner that survived teaching two sons how to drive... a vehicle that has started EVERY time. (except when battery had to be replaced last winter). Has never thrown a code. Cold A/C and even Cruise works. 189K miles. V6 and is 4x4. Clutch replaced in ~2017 and clutch master cylinder in ~2022. Other than that, changed oil regularly and it just kept running.
Wife getting new car, so I will inherit her vehicle for my "Trail Truck" (hauling my mountain bikes around), so selling the 4Runner. It only has 189,154 miles and the interior is in good shape, no tears, no cracks in dash, even has upgraded stereo with streaming and USB connectivity. Note the front bumper replaced.... remember I taught two boys to drive with this vehicle and original bumper was replaced with lower profile, older model bumper.
Now the bad, knew it had some rust when purchased... Scraped, treated and painted then, but of course rust came back. Finally rust is bad enough to not pass inspection yesterday (what timing, decided to get wife a new car over the weekend and then failed inspection!!). Rust is on frame and all underside components. Paint is from 2000, so not shiny and lustrous. Has small rust spot on back hatch and below drivers door, otherwise sheet metal is clean.
As noted, it has low miles, runs great, and clean interior. Great donor vehicle if someone has good frame, but bad mechanicals or interior. Likewise good if you know how to weld and can take on yourself and refurbish the frame. More photos if wanted.
