This car was sold. Thank you to all who inquired.
My beloved 1997 Toyota 4Runner was hit by another driver and the cost of repair is beyond what I can pay. I would prefer to have another 4Runner owner, who needs parts and components from the same period, take it over. The alternative is selling it for scrap parts.
Please let me know if you would like to take it on and can get it by the end of next week.
Where: D.C. area (specifically, Alexandria VA)
Miles: about 300,000
The Bad Part:
- drivers' side door, front, is indented about 3" and cannot be opened. (I am currently climbing in from the passenger side.)
- driver's door lock does not work
- transmission console lighting does not work
- cruise control and Lights-On warning signal were both damaged in the collision
- front floor mats and carpeting is in very bad condition
- there are a few scratches on the other side of the car
- rear bumper on driver's side is dented and some rust has appeared
- front seat, driver's side, was modified to suit me
- front seat belts work and are safe but do not easily retract
- cargo door locking/opening mechanism is tricky; I can open it but no one else can
The Good Part:
- tires are new as of January 2016
- car has been maintained lovingly and all service records are available from date of purchase
- rear seats, floor mats, carpeting, and the entire cargo area are all in good condition
- the engine, transmission, air-conditioning, lights, electrics and so on are all in excellent condition
- I had intended to drive it for another 5 to 10 years (sigh).
Anyway, if you can use it to rebuild your own Toyota 4Runner, it's yours.
Please respond via this forum, as I will be notified via email.
