Dealership experience GRRR! I need to share my recent experience attempting to purchase a 99 5speed 4runner 4x4. Found a truck with 130k miles on Autotrader at Concord Toyota in the Bay area. Since I live in SoCal I thought I'd fly up over the weekend and buy it. The price was under $7,000...

What to check before buying a 99 5speed? This question is for some of you 4runner veterans out there. If I do find a 5 speed 99-02 stock 4runner, what are the basic things, or problem areas i should focus on before buying and during the test drive? Should I take it to an indy mechanic to check...

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I found this truck on another 4x4 forum. Looks like a solid truck to start with, especially since the owner is a Toyota mechanic. Let me know what you think. I have a feeling I am going to take a look at it this weekend. Built 1998 4Runner for sale -...

I'd like to hear some pros and cons for manual transmission in a 3rd gen 4runner. Has anyone regretted choosing either? Thanks

Well, here's another one...too bad it has so many miles on it... 2000 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4x4 Highlander Sport Edition

Thanks for the advice guys. I'd say $8k is the max I want to spend on the truck itself so I can allocate enough resources for the build. I prefer cloth interior, 5 speed manual under 150k miles.

Hi Iam new to the forum, looking for a solid base for my first off road build and I need some suggestions. I have been searching for a couple months and this one just came up. The price seems pretty steep for the mileage but it is a 5speed and that's what I want so I am looking for some input...

Hey, not sure if you got my PM. I live in Temecula. Your truck is pretty much what I have been looking for. Let me know if it's still available. Thanks
