I totally agree!!!! The dealer quoted 1939.62 for the factory unit, though I'm thinking (well, hoping) that I can get them to at least match the pricing of another online Toyota dealer/parts site of 1454.72; we shall see.......

FINALLY heard back from the dealer, they can order a Toyota re-man'd unit; which is what I'm thinking I'll probably go with. I'm HELLA hesitant w/going used (even through the dealer) but maybe the extra 1k difference between used/new (installed) will help change my mind...... UGGGGGGH.

Ideas/Opinions from ANYONE else out there?!?!?!?!?

Dude I feel your pain as I experienced, word for word, the EXACT situation in my '97; after 236.5k. My radiator/trans cooler went, I had it replaced and it seemingly was fine then it started slipping and now it's finally gone. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of options in the East Lansing...

Just picked up my '97 SR5 w/210k for 4200.xx - one owner, all records - LOVIN' IT!! For 6500.xx, I'm sure you can find another one w/fewer miles.

Thanks!!

Hi All!!! New 4runner owner in East Lansing, MI. Picked up my '97 SR5 w/210k as a 2nd vehicle to fulfill the need for a larger car. So far, no complaints - the previous owner took excellent care of the truck, so it's been an easy transition thus far. The only thing I plan on doing @ the moment...
