Me too! They suck.

Hey MTD , You really wouldn't worry about it sitting around? I've got one I'm planning to drive as little as possible (while I'm wearing out the other one :thumb3:), and I'm worried about leaving it sit too much. It was in NY and now two years later it's in MI, somehow with only 103 more miles...

Too much potential for sitting around with old gas/oil/fluids. Miles that low in a 20 year old car aren't necessarily a good thing. According to the carfax it only went 1k from '06 to '13- wonder how many oil changes it got during that time. And 3 miles in the last 2 years??? Even if all true I...

Gotta love that feeling of the flatlands in your rear view mirror and being back home in the mountains! Hope you have the rest of the summer.

Know nothing about it, but in case anyone is looking. Toyota 4Runner | ksl.com

That's the right thread. I'm fairly sure there is another one coming too- a Desert Dune V6 5 speed with a hole, '00 if I remember right. They kind of dole them out one at a time so they can claim "rare". I do know of one good one they sold last year, so I guess it's a mixed bag. I personally...

I've been waiting for this one to show up. I talked to a dealer in NH who took it on trade a couple months ago, and they told me it was wholesaled because of frame rot. Saved the VIN 'cause I had a feeling I knew where it was headed (for those who read my last thread on this dealer). Red 4cyl 5...

That Runner is from CO and they bought it at an auction. I have to question why it was auctioned. Usually in the west the dealers will keep good trade-ins to sell at retail, especially somewhere like CO where everyone is gaga over 4Runners. There is a good chance it had too many issues for them...

Make a complaint directly to Toyota. I think that is likely to have more impact than anything else.

38 3/4" on my 2000 SR5. Edit: Oops. That's between the wheel wells.

I have no info on this, just saw the ad and thought I would pass it on. Toyota 4runner 4WD................. (RARE)

I probably have a warped view from living and shopping for 4Runners in the west, but in my experience if you want one in good condition with low miles like that you're going to pay unless you get really lucky. Assuming everything is good on the Runner the price is not really out of line and the...

Maybe there's an extra grand or two added on to that one for a nice green bag to put over your head.

CarFax says it's from Illinois, and you can see a little evidence of rust in the engine compartment. 3 owners too, so not worth any "Colorado" premium. I have sometimes had luck getting dealers who try to get these kind of prices to come down quite a bit. I usually tell them I'm not willing to...
