How did you get your 4runner

[Bbellz]

Spent 3 years watching the lot here at work. Finally one rolled in and bam

I watched all my local lots using cargurus. Worked out for me.

My 4Runner I purchased by myself. I've always tagged along with my dad when it came to purchasing vehicles since I was a kid. A different but good experience.

My 4th gen was the first car I purchased completely on my own, and I have not regretted it for a second.

passing by a Toyota dealership and seen a 2015 4 runner limited and that was it. next thing I know I'm signing papers and shes mine.

My neighbor sold his house and his 1st gen had been sitting next to his barn for several years and didn’t run. Knowing me, he asked if I was interested. Once I got it running, I fell in love. 22Re and a 5 speed for $500. Going to be a lot of fun.

I work the back parts counter at a Toyota dealership. I had an 88 Isuzu Trooper that sucked a valve. At that time, one of the techs in the shop just dropped a fresh 22RE into an '88 he had. He sold it to me for $3800---this was back in 2005.

I got lucky...I was broke at the time, but my father-in-law bought it for me.

4 runner

My '97 I searched about a year on CL, found it local. Bought it from the original owner. I paid more than I wanted for the mileage, but it came with good complete service records. so I felt better about it

Looked for 6 months on craigslist and found many prospects. I visited a few found that they have alot conditions. I looked at in Texas and Colorado most were rusty. I watched New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Texas. Found my 98 in Phoenix, I drove from Albuquerque to get it. It has no rust and was in great condition for a 98. I bought it in May, went through it then took this adventure to Ouray CO. to drive Alpine loop June 15, 2017 I enjoyed the this so much I drive it when ever I can.

At 40 I was ready to buy my first new vehicle ever but alas, Quicksand was a one and done color, so I had to buy it "used"! Finance manager at Brent Brown Toyota in Ogden Utah drove it for all of 9 months....still making payments.....

I was looking for a 4WD for a long time and trying to decide between a hilux or land cruiser. A 1985 SR5 4Runner came up and I got it within a few days and it’s been the perfect car with everything I wanted from the hilux and landcruuser/wagon style 4wd. Parents paid for it upfront though I’m now paying it off over the next year

Lots of hard work! However, money is always well spent when it's Toyota!

 

[BillyWinston]

bought it from my uncle who sells tons of 4runners on his used car lot.

I bought it

 

[Dr. Evil]

I needed a 3rd vehicle that:
4wd
Tow a pontoon
Carry at least 4 people comfortably
Under $20k
Reliable

It was between a GM or Toyota
I like most GM stuff but don't trust the electronics at that age and price point. I say this as I own a 98 GMC truck with 202k miles.

My fiance and I were going to get married and buy a house.
Then she left me...
So I bought a brand spanking new rig.
Best thing that ever happened to me!imp:
