Hi All, Test drove via a private party sale today a 2006 T4R Limited 4x4 v8, Shadow Mica/charcoal grey with nav and all the airbags front and rear, plus moonroof. Has bluetooth, jpb 6cd changer. Pretty much fully loaded and looks great...really is a sweet vehicle. Has 27,500 miles on it. Tires...

not sure if your being a sa or real...in any event no windows were down. runfun

update: am not purchasing the 2006 T4R v8 Sport because 1) could not get smoke smell out even after a $145 detail job and 2) at 70mph+ upon accelerating i thought there was some low riders next to me playing loud music with a loud base deep sound. it resonated with me and i looked around me as i...

hmmm...just had a conversation with a nice private broker...he said there weren't too many 4runners in the 2006-2007 year models with low miles. said people don't sell/trade those in that early. said if i found one from a private party i like i should buy it if price is right. did say it was...

Thanks everybody for your 2c. I will try some private broker/certified car stuff but I still think I can get a sweet deal from the private seller. That smoke smell will turn off anyone who doesn't smoke. I know she wants to sell it. I would love the vehicle at the right price (thinking 22k) but...

Yes all good points. I think I will be patient. Problem is more patient I am the more my Odyssey Touring depreciates as well. But me thinks I can get a T4R newer model year hardly used like you. I don't want to wait until end of the year though. Thanks.

what is a headliner? i was thinking maybe it might be best just to trade in my odyssey for a newer model 4runner. i just hate dealing with stealers. first i have to haggle on price of my car then i have to haggle on price of new car, then i have to figure out all rebates and factory...

mlb...thanks for the negotiating tip; paint repair being expensive....didn't think of that one. runfun

2006 T4R Sport V8 4WD Black...$22,500 good price? 2006 T4R Sport V8 4WD Black with 17.5k miles...$22,000 good price? So basically I have come to the conclusion this is the most I will pay for this vehicle and am considering making her this offer today. Is this in ballpark or could I go even...
