I've been looking for a 4runner as a family car. Saw this ad on CL 1997 Toyota 4runner Emailed him and he said it has regular oil change, did the rear axle seals and 4wheel defferential service last summer. New shocks all around with new brakes and rotor. New battery and tires. No issue and...

Thank you PitbullRescuer for pointing me some 4runners. I guess the problem with me is that I'm not a car person, so I don't know what to check in order to tell if they are good or not. So I always need some pro/mechanics to help me (sometimes hard to find one of those guys that I can trust.)...

Wow. I think I would never pay attention to these little things. I'm really not a car person I guess. Time to move on. Really appreciate the comments from your guys.

Have been looking for a 4runner as my family car. Saw this ads on CL: 98 Toyota 4runner limited 4wd Haven't checked it out myself but contacted the owner. it's: 1998, 170k miles, auto, V6 4wd current owner bought it 2 yrs ago at 153k had timing belt done; plugs; wires; 1 coil pack changed and...

It depends. Cause only the areas near the shore in DE had huge impact.

Toyota is pretty much what I'm looking for. As you said, they're very reliable. I had a corolla in the past. It never gave me a hard time. So I just thought maybe I should get a 4runner b/c I need something a little bigger and safer this time.

I'm looking for a reliable family car/SUV to just get us around town. However, my budget is pretty tight. And I know little about cars, so can't do much DIY as you guys do to turn some stones into gold. I would definitely be interested in your truck after browsing through some of your builds...

Hmm, it didn't ring a bell until now. Thank you for the heads up. Now I need to rethink about it.

Asked the seller about any rust underneath the truck, and he said there is NO rust. Need to check myself onsite. As for Sandy, never thought of it but it's possible since he said he has a place near the beach in DE. How can I find out?

I have been looking for a family car (just to take the family around town) for a while and came across to this one recently. 98 toyota 4runner Never had 4runner before, so I thought I should let the pros here to help me look at it. It has actually 195k mile (95k is a typo in the post)...

The owner emailed me today that he did do oil change in shops rather than dealership about every 5k-7k and used synthetic blend.

Here is the Craiglist ad 2002 TOYOTA 4RUNNER SR5 SE 4X4 The services record did mention a few times about rust they found at the dealership. Seems like I should keep looking.

And does $4200 seems reasonable given the high mileage and the condition of the truck?

I'll try to ask the owner and see if she actually did the oil changes every 3k but at somewhere else rather than a toyota dealership, so it wasn't recorded in toyota's service history.

I've never driven 4runner (don't know too much about cars either) in the past and am new to this forum. But feel like there are a lot of experts here and want pairs of trained eyes to take a look at this truck I found on Craiglists. I'm looking for a family car to get my family around safely...
