Used 2000 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4WD for Sale in Deer Park WA 99006 Parkway Auto Center

I found this runner about an hour from me. It looks clean, but it didn't have its mileage listed (weird). So I called, they've had it for a while and it has 240k on the clock. "Runs perfectly" claims the salesman.

Is it worth looking at? Should I continue my search?

I don't need to buy soon. I just would like to buy before winter as I'm buying it to be my wife's daily. It may get off-roaded lightly on weekends for camping and such nothing too crazy. Just want to get into an amazing platform that will last forever (hence the runner).

Thanks for your thoughts guys!

It's worth a look- in my opinion. We got ours with 220k+ miles, and haven't had any issues with it. It seemed to be cared for well, so I felt comfortable with it. We're at 243k now, and the A/C pump just went out. Other than that, just slowly replacing all the suspension bushings etc. It's a 97 Limited e-locker, with the specific interior and exterior colors we wanted. Paid $5k for it.
Lower miles are always more desirable, but I would rather have a well cared for 240k mile rig with 60+ oil changes than a 160k mile rig with 10 oil changes. Just my 2 cents [emoji1360]

From what I can see of the engine bay, I did not even see any signs of rust that might indicate underbody rust as there are no pics of the underbody. I personally like to see those prices as I am an original owner but that's a decision that you need to be happy with. I would check it out if it made sense to drive to see it.

I wouldn't pay 7k for 240k mid-grade model 4Runner with accident damage. Looks like the radiator is original so it needs to go. Wouldn't be surprised if the LBJs are original too — if so they also need to go.

If everything else checked out ok, I'd offer 5k tops and request that they replace the radiator and LBJs on their dime.
 
Looks not too bad, but as per usual no pics of the undercarriage. Whats the deal with that dent in the back, do they have details of the accident?
Looks like the timing belt was changed back at 162k, but I would check to see if they have any details on the service, was the water pump does as well or just the belt.
Have the lower ball joints ever been done?

Aside from that, the color is right and it is a sport model with the hood scoop. Its almost always worth talking with them about it, but you also have to take into consideration this is a car dealer so make sure YOU get a carfax report on it and have it inspected by a mechanic thats not affiliated with them.

$7000 seems a bit much, but prices very depending on area.
 
My 2000 has the T-handle gearshift. The one in the picture has the vertical style - which I had thought was used '99 and before. OTOH it doesn't have the cup holders in the dash so ?

Does this vary by model?

96-98 have cupholders in the dash. I thought the T-handle shifter was 2wd only.

Used 2000 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4WD for Sale in Deer Park WA 99006 Parkway Auto Center

I found this runner about an hour from me. It looks clean, but it didn't have its mileage listed (weird). So I called, they've had it for a while and it has 240k on the clock. "Runs perfectly" claims the salesman.

Is it worth looking at? Should I continue my search?

I don't need to buy soon. I just would like to buy before winter as I'm buying it to be my wife's daily. It may get off-roaded lightly on weekends for camping and such nothing too crazy. Just want to get into an amazing platform that will last forever (hence the runner).

Thanks for your thoughts guys!
The community here is amazing.


Sorry about the length of the previous post. I had no way of shrinking it down.

In reading that service history it looks as though the original owner only took it in when he heard a squeal or a thunk or had poor throttle response. Repairs but no preventive maintenance. Only one oil change listed. (I skimmed maybe missed something). Trans fluid was dark when changed. Most oil change places enter oil changes on Carfax. I think it was not very well maintained. I'd pass. JMO.
 
Looks like it has been serviced at the dealer, even coolant and transmission flush, and timing belt job!.
Nice find. Check the frame for any signs of rust.

Like Streetcreeper said, get a new radiator (Denso or Koyo) and lower ball joints (TOYOTA only). Or ask for these two to be replaced before you finalize the deal.

Good luck!

Man, these 4runners keep their price, real good. You cannot find a good running 4x4 runner for below $3000 even with 300K miles!
