Didn't buy a rental after all

[Kjell]

Well My last thread

http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20869&highlight=rental

got alot of responses, including a PM from another member of this BB. Knowing I was
looking for a used 4Runner he offered to let me buy out his lease vehicle. Just picked it up on Sat. It's a beautiful 2004
SR5 4WD with the features I wanted
(no moonroof, 16" wheels) and only 23K miles! Thanks T4R.ORG!! Busy today ordering OME, BFG T/As etc.....

Congrats on the new 4Runner! You definitely made a wise decision. If you purchased a truck from a member of this board, it was definitely well cared for!

Having driven hundreds of rental cars over the years, I think you made the smart choice. Enjoy!!

Congrats on your new truck. I'm looking hard at OME so please post after you install and let us know how you like it.

And nice Alfa!

That's awsome man. Glad everything worked out for you and look forward to seeing your posts in the future.

The 16inch rims were the only thing I wanted that didn't come on the sr5 I found. In fact I think I might place a "want to trade add" in that forum now that you reminded me about it.


Congrats...

Good looking 4Runner Kjell.

Used to know a guy named Kjell back in South Carolina, is that your name or just just a handle?

I used OME lift on my FJ60 for 9 years and
just loved it, so it's natural for me to get one for the 4Runner. Alas, Slee is back ordered just now.....

Yes my name is Kjell (pronounced "Shell"
in the US). I was born in Sweden.

The Alfa is a 1973 GTV 2000. It is my "mistress".........

Very nice. Many years ago, I spent 3 1/2 years in Italy while in the Army. I was introduced to Alfa's, and was lucky enough to own 6 different ones. My last was a '68 GTV 1750 which an Army buddy brought back to the states when he got out and I later bought from him. Sadly, I had to part with her due to circumstances beyond my control. I keep hoping I will be able to get another one some day, but good GTVs of that vintage are getting harder to locate, and more expensive all the time. Maybe when I retire, I'll get one again. Just to keep me 'busy'.........
