When I got my 2001 taco DC prerunner a few years back, my dad and I split 50/50 ($6.5k each). Then I sold that dang 2wd and got my 4runner for almost exactly what I sold the Tacoma for.
I have since payed back the $6.5k in full.

My first t4r an 87 was given to me by my parents as my first car. It was a piece, but I wouldn't want anything different. My current 95 I just bought after driving a corolla all through college. I'm looking to sell mine soon and by a 3rd gen though. I won't buy a different SUV unless it's a Sequoia.
Bought it myself in '01 after my old 3.slow 4runner threw a rod on the freeway. I made a nice smokescreen for the cars behind me and almost made one of them crash! You guys are lucky that your parents bought you a car, I worked at an amusement park from 14-16 to save up for my 1st truck - an '86 ext. cab Yota pickup.

yeah but it makes you appreciate it so much more, like its a part of you.
I don't like the GX's rear door (side opener). I much prefer the 4runner's rear hatch. It is way more useful. I have no idea why they designed the GX hatch as a side opening door. It makes no sense.
I was tail gaiting at a football game last week and parked near a GX. The owner was commenting how much better he thought my configuration was as well.
My parents never bought me a car...too busy spending their money on the 4 cars they bought for themselves and my 2 brothers, I suppose. My husband bought mine for me after I paid for his flight training, and I am eternally grateful.

I've bought all my cars first 4runner was a 94 got it in 05. Flew from GA to VA to buy my current 96. I feel fortunate looking back on everything I've done to get to this point. Certainly appreciate the vehicle more.

Didn't have to pay for it directly, but I got it after many years of hard work on our family vegetable farm. All the mods/add-ons were bought with my money though. lol they think modding it is a waste of money
