looks like it all worked out. hope your insurance didn't go up too much.

nice! got pics? is it all original? any major problems?

its a 4runner so change the oil and drive it.

there are a lot of sites that sell individual headlights for $120ish each... if you want a change, you could switch the Sport headlights which are titanium instead of chrome. one thing you can do in the mean time is to drill a very small hole into the lowest part of the headlight lens (its...

very nice! how is the adjustment from the IS? i went from a G35 coupe to 4R and it was a welcomed change for me. my advice is to swap your titanium/chrome grill for a limited one... i got mine from toyota for like $150 and it makes such a difference. much sharper.

i could be wrong, but i think the appearance package means that the body cladding/flares are painted. black plastic cladding and flares were 'standard' for early 4th gen sr5 and sport's (i think).

if you're only earning $400 a month, you don't need to have a car payment of any amount. why don't you just sell your 4R and buy a beater to get you through college? i don't know what your financial situation is, but a 2010 mustang or altima will come with a payment pretty close to your monthly...

first thing i bought for my sr5 was a limited grill... hate the chrome!

where are you located?

nice choice! love the sport's.

sweet, this is what i was looking for. i've seen tons of high-mileage all original 3rd gens but no 4th gens, glad to know yours is holding up! thanks.

if it works/ed for you, great. i would take their ratings into consideration before buying electronics or appliances (though i don't). i have frequently found their automotive reporting to be questionable, dating back to the suzuki samurai fiasco of the late 80's/early 90's. i think there are...

CR does not like truck-based SUVs, period. but who cares what CR thinks? that is the last place i'd look for advice when buying a new car.

cool thread, but lots of ppl posting things like 'i am at 60k miles' ... i am more wondering what some of the highest miles you've seen are.
