I'm looking for a no excuses 3rd gen 4R years 2000-2002 only. Would prefer a SR5 but will consider Limiteds. The lower the mileage the better. Not looking for a project, so please don't bring me major issues. Must have 4WD. Got rust? Well that's your problem.....Rust issues need not apply...

Huh? The 3rd gen 4R I'm looking at (see link) is 4WD.

I'm kinda in limbo in regards to looking for a 4R. I'm partial to the 4th gen, but price is a factor. I also don't plan on it being my everyday car (see my sig for my seasonal DD), so I don't want $20K+ sitting on my driveway doing nothing. With that being said, this example popped up on the...

There's your problem. Maybe if you took the time to hand wash the vehicle with water that isn't regurgitated from other washings or hitting the seals as if it were from a powerwasher, there'd be no leaks. But hey, what do i know...I don't even yet own a 4R.....:moon::snacker::D.....yet.....

Not sure what I want to do here. I like the 3rd gen but am starting to notice the 4th gen more and more. What are the big differences between the 3rd and 4th gen. 6 cylinders and the suspensions?

The dealer just called me and offered it at $13.9K. I'm thinking about it, but can't get there right now so it's still up in the air.

Dude, there's just no way in hell you're wife would let you keep 2 4Rs....just no way.....:moon: :flamethrwoer2: :flipoff: :biggrin2:

At $15K, I don't think the dealer's gonna have people lined up to buy this thing. Yet with winter coming, they might...:sobbing: I figure I'm two weeks away from being able to get up to PA, so we'll see if fate works in my favor. It usually doesn't, but it took me 9 months to finally buy my...

Hi Guys - Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I'd be looking at a 3rd gen 4R. My budget is what's driving the search. I drive a '93 Miata (see sig). during the spring and summer, so I'm looking for a winter/bad weather vehicle. You can check out the latest part of the conversation that began in...

I know I'm new here, but I know others that have used Eastwoods rust encapsulator. I don't know how it fares against the Rustoleum products, but those I know that have used it swear by it.

Well, here's the cousin... FWIW, KBB on a '03 SR5 w/ same options (V6) retails (dealer) at $18K. The '02 would KBB at just under $14K. Now, I don't have enough knowledge to know if 4Rs sell for more than KBB, but I figure the '02 here could be had for $11.5 - $12K, but it all depends on how...

I'm not sure where you live, but the detailer I used for my non-T4R (see signature) can be found here. He works on a lot of higher end concours cars, and I believe he'll come to you if needed. I was very happy with his work, especially b/c he knows his way around single stage paint. The pic...

Hi all - Just making my introduction to the forum. I'm not yet currently a 4R owner, but am here to start the learning process that will hopefully lead me to a new acquisition. I'm very much accustomed to these forums, so you won't have to worry about my asking questions without performing...
