FS: 4th Gen, 2009 Trail Edition in PA $17,500

Register to hide this ad
I think using the term Holy Grail is a bit of a stretch, but it is the rarest of 4Runners I would say. Trail Editions were only available on the 2009 model and were only sold for about 7 months before the 5th gen came out. It has many desirable features for the adventurous motorist.
 
OP...Did you test drive this? I'm in the market for a 4th generation. I might have to take a drive out to Western PA.
 
Thanks for the offer OP. I was interested but those door panels have me puzzled. I'm trying to figure out what the heck would of caused that damage.
 
what makes it a trail? Says sport in the ad...
Nearly all 4runner vins say Sport, and that is what dealers use in their descriptions. This is clearly a Trail Edition because it has all the features, the wheels, the water proof seats, detachable nav, limited style grill but sr5 hood, the diff lock switch and atrac switches. And it says Trail Edition on the sides.
 
So to satisfy my own curiosity, I checked this out this morning.
Mechanically, I could not find any issues at all. The engine sounded smooth and felt normal, no weird bumps, knocks or squeaks.
Cosmetically, it's in fair condition. It clearly had a pet transported regularly in it. The cargo area was full of white dog hair and the trim panels are pretty scratched up. The seats are in great condition though and were very comfortable and showed no signs of wear or damage. The drivers door trim damage that can be seen in the online pictures, has been repaired, or I should say poorly repaired. I'm pretty sure a small hungry dog was the culprit there. Exterior was straight and rust free, but there were decent scratches on the front bumper and rear p/s quarter. No sign of hail damage.
I personally think this is a good vehicle if you want a Trail Edition and the price is fair, but budget for some cosmetic repairs if that stuff bothers you or prepare your price reduction negotiation skills.

Thanks for checking it out. I'm going to visit my daughter at Pitt this weekend, if it's still there I'll have a look at it.
 
Trail Editions have black mirrors like SR5s?

Looks like it's pretty rough on the inside, wonder how the oil change maintenance has been done?
 
Looks like the PO let his/her dog take over. I'd only buy it with a very good discount because it needs some interior work. The only thing worse than a vehicle with cigarette smell is a vehicle that smells like dog. One car reeked so bad of wet dog that I nearly threw up on the test drive.
 
I'm very picky about funny smells too, and I've walked away from several good deals because of pet and smoke smells. This one honestly didn't smell of either, but it did smell of typical auto cleaning products. The only interior issues were the plastic trim panels, the drivers door trim and the dog hair in the back. The seats were excellent.
Service history that I could find online was limited, but there was some routine maintenance over the past 18 months.
The way the sales guy talked, I'd bet they would sell this for $16,500. Then factor in $350 for new door trim, a few hundred for the other panels and some time with the vacuum and I think you've got a decent deal.
