In december closed on a 52k 2004 sr5 with remote starter and factory leather/heated seats, well maintained by soccer mom. 14.2k Above book, but they were real firm, knew they had a gem, and were perfectly willing to wait it out. So far so good. I realized after the first big snowstorm of the...

Agreed. What are all these flower shaped buttons. Okay I will get some pictures up although she's stock and I don't think there's necessarily anything to write home about...yet

Thanks i am loving the truck so far and the v6 is plenty... have had two big passengers thus far and I didnt feel weighed down. Still adjusting to the headroom tho...im 6'1 205 and its A LOT tighter than the Pilot. Seems like Toyota could have raised it up 2-4 inches without giving up a lot...

you may be right but the impression I got from driving the car and talking to the owner was that the car was used for bopping around town by a car-anal mom and I guess I would rather have a super babied, relatively young in miles truck than one that has been legit abused and/or driven hard off...

I drove the v8 all over these back roads near Keene, NH (where apparently some kind of pumpkin fueled riot had recently occurred) loved it, but interior wasnt as clrtan and I just didn't know what I was buying. Closed verbally with the v6 owner today for 14.2. Not as enthusiastic about the 6...

How many miles? and it it's a two wheel drive? you guys are geniuses I didn' make the sandy connection. so glad I joined this forum. I talked about this situation at length with my uncle last night. he's a small business CEO and a truck guy. mostly the F 150 XLT- he drives them about 250,000...

Used 2003 Toyota 4Runner For Sale | East Swanzey NH Another horse has entered the race...a 2003 with low mileage and a V8. I'm heading up to check it out this weekend....they say it was one owner and bought at auction in New Jersey. what do you guys think? Are the problems with the 03 AC and...

Hooray-it was made in Japan and by Toyota.

Thanks I'll definitely keep you guys posted. My mechanic is set to look at it saturday morning...owner has no carfax (apparently it sustained some minor front bumper damage that was repaired) but it she gave me the VIN from her auto policy. JTEBU14R940022754. I know there's a hot link on here...

I'm thinking that for about the same amount of money or more I can get a dealership car a few years younger with twice as many miles and less options like no sunroof leather remote starter...is that really a better idea?

Thanks. I really appreciate the feedback guys. Just seems the car has been so beautifully maintained that it might be worth it. I got my Honda Pilot when it had about a hundred thousand miles for about 13000 so it seems like for about two thousand more I'm getting twice as much car...I mean the...

Nope its back, reposted an hour ago 2004 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4WD 50,000 Original Miles

I guess she figures its a done deal...b/c its a work car and tax write off I told her if my mechanic signed off I would meet her price. Maybe I was being a little soft. She seemed really nice and laid back and the car was a gem. Plus she had a dog like mine who recently passed...

thanks that is very helpful. Is there any way to diagnose the head gasket issue? when does that kind of problem usually arise? I was thinking that at 50k the car has had a good break in...but also basically babied. Should I be concerned about undercarriage rust? Do you think the sr5 will be a...

2004 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4WD 50,000 Original Miles Sorry for noob question. Thinking about buying my first runner...been reading up and test driving for a couple months and posted this link in new guy forum. Wanted to get your guys thoughts. Silver, perfect much inside and out with 51k miles...
