Any idea if the TRD center caps work on the F5 wheels?

^^^ Very true. I'm currently negotiating with a member here for one. The tricky bit is his is built up so it costs little more. Working on getting financing for it. Let's see what happens. By the way, I might have mentioned it before... But I've also been considering other AWD/4x4 vehicles...

^^ Not a bad idea. They do seem to be priced higher in California though. The lowest I seem to find a 2007/08 FJ here so far is $17,000.

BTW, I spoke with the dealer late morning yesterday. He wouldn't budge. He said he wanted the truck because he sells lots of them, so he says he paid more than KBB for it in the first place. Might be rare, I might like manuals, but that is too much money for a truck with 150k miles. I just...

That means you've done roughly 60,000 miles since 2008 and drive a little over 15,000 miles a year. That's about 5,000 more miles a year than what I do. I've been considering a 30MPG 2012 Subaru Impreza. Yeah, it's not a truck, but it can do almost everything I need it to do except wheelin'...

Ha! So either the dealer is trying to score on some sucker who knows nothing, or they have quite a bit of wiggle room. However, getting a dealer to drop $6K on a car sounds like impossible. Their negotiating room is usually around $3k. Anyway, I'm trying to contact the dealer and see what they...

I really like this 1999: Cars for Sale: 1999 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 SR5 in El Cajon, CA 92020: Sport Utility Details - 325216053 - AutoTrader.com But with 150,000 I feel it's way overpriced. Yes, it's clean, but it's still way overpriced. How much would you pay for this one? Any tips on...

The thread is not about how much they are worth, but rather how much people are actually spending on them after repairs and upgrades.

I ran into a similar thread in a different forum and decided to see how it went here. I'm seeing most Gen 3 4Runners out there are selling on average between $5,000-$8,000 depending on mileage and condition. Of course, there are some selling for lower or higher than that. The question is...

Ok, back in the game! Is a '96 worth buying as 1st model year? I'm headed up to LA to see a '96 4x4 stick with 105,000 miles. Sticker on it is $5,990. What do you guys think? Thr truck looks in great condition inside out (in the pics) - but the clear coat is starting to fail on the left side...

^^^ I'm with you there. It's an embarrassment to have such a great truck not even be available with a manual after 2000. I'm not one to settle. I don't let car manufacturers dictate what I drive. So many people say, "Oh, I would've preferred a manual, but Toyota only has automatics for this...

So it's not "just a Jeep thing" eh!?? Hehe. That's cool. I drive a Miata - Those owners are wavers too.

^^^ I was just reading on one I found. Apparently you could special order the leather-covered, sunroof-wearing truck with a manual transmission, 4x4 and locker. So it's rare, but not necessarily pieced together. The one I'm looking at the current owner claims that the original owner ordered it...

Hello, my 4Runner search has taken a bit of a setback with me shuffling some money around - but I'm returning to looking for the right one shortly. In the meantime, I'm reading more on them. Thanks

Hello. I use SCOUT for iPhone - it used to be a very good Craigslist search app, but the developer has let it fall to the wayside. I'll check out autotempest... Thanks Yesterday I test drove a 2000 with a 5-speed and even a rear diff locker. It's advertised too high at $9,900 with 150,000...
