How did you get your 4runner

[t4r4life]

Im 18 so i had to bust my balls to pay up the 4500 for my 4runner, so im just wondering How did people get their 4runner?

Parents got it for me.

It would take me a really long time to pay for it.

I bought a 97 t4r sr5 about 8 years ago on a loan. I hit a dear on the oregon coast 2 mos. ago so with the insurance money and some of my own i bought a 2004 t4r sr5. put a 2.5 inch level kit and new tires. shes ready to go.

I bought mine to pull my boat. But the boat is since gone, but god i love the runner.

parents gave it to me when i turned 16 as my first car... they didnt want me doing anyhting to it but after about two years or more running stock i couldnt take it and ive paid for everything done including maintenance since then though.

I bought a GX470 for my wife to replace the Jeep GC (grand crap) and loved it so much that wanted one for myself. But I could not justify have two $50000+ trucks, so I bought the 4Runner!!! I actually like the T4R better than GX

do you like the 4th gen better?

I paid cash for it with money my wife saved when I worked in Korea. I think of repairs and maintenance as my car payments.

lol i would just put some Icelandic 50 inch tire and float my runner

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.

"Kids", now remember... someday you will (hopefully) grow up. You may be in a position where mommy and daddy aren't the source anymore....

Now... "Get a Job!" (In my best R. Lee Ermey impersonation.)

 

[Uneek]

Bought it myself.

 

[brian2sun]

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.
