While I'm asking, can anyone comment on how these hold up rust wise? I think I'm more concerned with that than the mileage since I live in IL. I had an older Grand Cherokee a while back and it was a bear to work on with all the rust.

So the Autocheck is showing 3 owners. No accidents but 3 owners is a bit concerning to me. I went on the Toyota site and this is all I found as far as records go. Not sure if I'm still interested now, but the price is decent. 11/12/2010 Dealer Schaumburg Toyota 74,140 ELECTRICAL REPAIR ORDER...

It is 4x4, V8. I'm not sure if the limited's came with xreas or not. It's an hour away from me so it might be a bust if I go and it's bad. I'm going to look anyway though.

Hey all. I'm thinking about looking at a 2003 Limited V8, 98,000 miles. Autocheck says no accidents, unsure of # of owners. They are asking $11,659. Sound reasonable? Also, should I be concerned with the mileage? I know these things go 300+ but buying one at 100 already is a little...

I have to say the v8 is very nice. I'm old school and the V8 rumble is like music to my ears. I've had Trans Am's, Firebirds, and even a V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and I really like the V8. I'm a little concerned with the V6 head gasket leaks I've been coming across here a there. I hear...

I set up an alert on AutoTrader so I'll know when any new one's are posted. Other than that I guess all I can do is be patient. My dad has an 07 Limited V8, Salsa red and every since he bought it, and I drove it, that was it. Maybe I can convince him to sell me his, haha. Anyway, thanks...

Well I guess I don't have to worry about the 2003 anymore since they sold the truck already! I missed out again...guess I should move quicker next time! 9 days according to the carfax that this was for sale...can't believe how quick it went. I guess I'll get the Impala fixed next week and...

Sport, love the sport edition with the darker seats and hood scoop!

Took a look at it today and it's in great shape. didn' drive it though. After some reading on here I'm a little concerned with the exhaust manifold leak issues a lot seem to be having. I don't want to trade one car with problems for another that might be just as costly. Can anyone tell...

Good points everyone. I was thinking about the timing belt, good negotiating tool. It is at a local Toyota dealer. They have replaced the tires already so those are new. I haven't seen it in person though but seems like a good truck. Just had a baby in December so I feel a little guilty...

That's what I'm thinking too. It's comparable to prices in my area, even a little cheaper. I was hoping with gas prices and summer coming that prices might drop a little more. Might be hard to get a loan on an 03. Think I'll look at it soon though.

Hey all, Still looking for that 4th gen, especially now that the Impala is going into the shop for head gaskets and intake gasket with only 66,000 miles. Power train warranty is up soon and I'm not keeping it. Anyway, there is a 2003 SR5 4runner for sale near me with 44K V8 black 4x4 for...

New for "sale" 2 new trucks popped up recently. both 2006, both sport models with clean carfax. both about $19,500 One is a v8 with 49K the other a v6 with 58K... Any ideas on the price? Seems reasonable considering what else is out there in my area, maybe a little high?

Thanks for all the input. Seems I waited too long since both are gone! I'll keep looking though and I'll let you know if I get anything.

Hi all. Need some input. There are 2 local 4runners for sale by me and I'd like to know which would be the best bet if you will. 1st is a 2000 V6 SR5 4x4 and the second is a 2004 V6 Sport. Both black, both about 80,000 miles. The 2000 is a 2 owner, clean car fax, looks very clean...
