1996 4runner limited 4x4?

[robtheman1983]

I have been searching for a good 4runner for about a month now and i think I have found one its 1996 4runner limited 4x4 with 65,000 actual miles on it anything in paticular I should look for? it has some very minor scratches on it and the antenna is missing however the radio still works great.... other wise it performed wonderfully on a test drive I took

Are you sure the ant. is missing? Keep in mind that it is only up when the AM/FM radio is on.

antenna

yeah it gone but the radio still got awesome reception during test drive I am taking to 4runner to a good mechanic tommorow to have him check it out before I buy ...I thought 65000 on 1996 was pretty damn good is 9850 a fair price if it in great condition?

i wonder if there is a difference in years as far as the antenna goes. mines a 96 limited also, and the antenna is permanent. just FYI i guess

wow thats some seriously low miles for a 96... good price too.

get it checked like you said and if it gets the thumbs up, go for it.

dont forget to have the dealer run the vin to be sure the headgasket recall work was done!

Thats a good price I paid 14999. in Oct. of 2004 for my 97 limited w/ 54,000. miles. It was in like new condition and needed nothing.

 

[robtheman1983]

well I took the 4runner to a mechanic I trust today he says the only thing it needs is a front brake job everything else is great so itlooks like I will soon be joining the legion of devoted 4runner owners I will try and get pics up when I can

Is the antenna a power antenna?

If so the fix is similar to the 2nd gen.

Use the search in "classic 4runners" keyword " power antenna fix"

What does "actual miles" mean? Is there a discrepency of odometer reading?

 

[robtheman1983]

oh by actual miles I meant it was verified by carfax and dealer records....I got the 4runner today I have already driven it like 100 miles, as of right now I don't think I am ever going to drive anything else ...
