my new ride
Hi All,

Looking forward to being apart of this community. I just purchased my first T4R! It is a 1997 limited with 288k miles. I plan to rebuild the 5VZ later down the line but want to enjoy it a little beforehand.

I am little confused BC the VIN states that its 4x4 but there isn't a transfer case shifter. The VIN is JT3HN87RXV0112503. I am wondering if the previous owner installed a RWD shifter or something but I'll see if the tranny is 4x4 when I get home.

I can imagine that the price tag would have been different! I would go back, that's false advertisement and description.

So at this auction, you didnt get to see it first? We're you remote? I cant imagine buing site unseen unless it was some crazy collector car with a billion pictures. Live and learn I guess. Sorry to hear it.

Update on this: After a few days of negotiating with the auction and threatening to report them to the NAAA (National Auto Auctions Association) they ended up giving me a 50% discount on the whole ordeal. So I am happy. I'm gonna keep this RWD beauty as a daily. Can't wait to get new tires and suspension. The original rim for the front left is still in the trunk.

Wow. 50% discount is huge. I once had a similar event happen to me a long time ago when I was in Europe I had my folks go ahead and purchase me a 1995 Pathfinder LE. They sent pics and it had BFG A/T's and until 1995 all LE's were 4WD so I utterly assumed that was the case.

Fast forward getting home and having the unmitigated horror of there not being a transfer case and worse the car had sit my folks house for a month while I was away. I got lucky and an elderly lady t-boned it a few months after purchase.
