Not sure to be honest. I have been driving by this place and seeing the truck for literally weeks. Well I mentioned it to his helper that I wanted it inspected, and he didn't think it would be a problem. But then the story changed when I talked with the owner (it's a private dealer w/ 3 lots)...

I agree yes I agree...ok folks..I thank you for your input...on a side note does a 1999 V6 ..I mean I know power is NOT a V8, but should it be sluggish at all? Seemed when I drove it when I stepped on it, tires spun a little, but not a lot...wish I knew better how it should respond...

I did get the VIN Number and Toyota ran it for me. It doesn't show anything out of line but I really am not sure anyways. I can get more on this later tonight after 10 or so EST. Briefly, the body looks very clean, I drove it, I did NOT engage 4wd (wish I would have) and the V6 ? seems a bit...

Here's the Deal 1999 4Runner, Automatic. Auto locks windows, (SR5? Not sure), it is 4wd. I drove it today, price is right 6,995. The catch is that he won't let me take it to a dealer. He got it from a dealer in Ohio. It has SOME rust I can see, but looks ok from what I can tell. The inspection...

Thanks for the replies...I realize it is an older truck..this one is a real beauty and it looks really well maintained..I mean clean. The other one I looked at had so much rust the mechanic said the bumper could fall off at any minute. I thank you folks for the input. I will be paying for an...

I am looking at buying a 1995 V6, a really nice looking truck from what I have seen. I owned a previous RAV4 which was very dependable. My question is do you guys have to do a lot of maintenance on these trucks? I mean I know the oil has to be changed and there are standard things to take care...

Thanks...

how do I tell the diff? How do you know the difference between first of 95 and mid 95? VIN number?

Thank You! Am very interested in a 95 with 96K miles. Owner seems willing to have it checked by dealer. I informed him that is the ONLY way I will buy as it is a hassle to go 4 hours only to find grief like yesterday. It is in very good condition but so was truck Yesterday I thought...NOT. Live...

thanks to your advice I got a truck checked yesterday for 24 dollars (half an hour and split cost with owner). Saved me a LOT of grief...No doubt about it. THANK YOU!

so why not have the seller get it inspected by a Toyota dealer up front? I mean save me a trip...right? I went two hours yesterday (so did seller) to look at a vehicle that if it were a house would have been condemned. Scarey part is they drove it home. I am grateful for TD and hope I have...

No worries habanero...I went and looked at the 95 today. To his credit he did meet me halfway on a four hour drive. I was able to take it to a dealer (thank God). It was a bit of a mess. There were a lot of issues with this truck, not the least of which was the 4WD does NOT WORK...Ouch. Let's...

Thank you for your reply..I am going to look at a 1995 tomorrow. The guy is driving two hours and I will go two hours to meet him...He has a 95 w/ 141K miles on it...I may do this as the snow was flyin today and I like the price..I hope it works out..will post pics if I do it...
