If you didn't have a 4runner...

Okay, I'm going to PM you in the next few days.. I hadn't considered AUS just because I figured the pricing would be out of whack. I've been looking at Japanese auctions...

Gotta get them in that 10-year window when our southern neighbours can't buy them yet and drive up the price!

Hmm it looks like they didn't sell ZJ76's in Australia, only the turbo'd VDJ76 (4.5L V8) but those are too new to import. Looks like the HZJ105 (diesel) and FZJ105 (gas) was sold instead of the ZJ76. There's tons of those for sale. Also the HDJ100 (Turbo 6 cylinder 4.2L)

When I bought the 4runner I was very close to getting an is300. And with a turbo of course.

Find my rare (according to Toyota & Insurance less than 100 made) Toyota Tacoma again. I looked for 4 months after it's unfortunate total (read my adventure thread for more information..). Was by far my first vehicle that I couldn't have been happier. My current 3rd gen does a good job, but as people know somethings just can't replace it..

I will say that if things go the way I'm hoping...my current 3rd Gen will takes it place once I get the new lift and SC installed..

Tundra or Tacoma there are things about both I like and I need to go back to a pick up.

I have also given thoughts to an 89-95 Toyota extended cab 4x4 something about those I just like the look of.

The Twin Turbo versions are so expensive these days. You could buy 10 4runners for the price of one of these.

Very true, Hagerty says they're one of the top 10 models expected to skyrocket in value in the near future, get them while you can. Imperial jade is just soooo damn sexy. Very soon, mine will be getting a fresh coat of IJM.

By our measure, the Mk. IV Supra Turbo could also be classified as a “Buy,” but if you’re lucky enough to already own one of these cars, it may be worth waiting to see just how high prices can go. Right now the Supra market is red hot. Hagerty Price Guide values are sharply increasing (15 percent over the last nine months), and buyer interest has grown by 172 percent over the last year. With prices for the comparable NSX currently plateauing, however, it’s reasonable to expect that Supra values will catch up and stay there as well, so anyone thinking about selling their Supra might as well wait for that to happen first.

1993-98 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo: A bit bigger and heavier than the RX-7, the last iteration of the Supra to date showed that when it was so inclined, Toyota could compete with nearly anyone on the planet in building kick-ass, ultra high performance GTs. Capable of 0-60 in less than five seconds and with world class brakes to haul it down, the big Supra is revered by the “Fast and Furious” crowd. It’s already the Holy Grail of Japanese performance cars of its era and, sadly, this has led to the demise of many examples — too much car for inexperienced drivers of limited judgment. The sky is the limit for future appreciation.
 
I would be driving a Golf R for sure. I already have a Mk6 GTI as my nice car (4Runner is my "beater") so the R would be perfect. AWD 2.0T yes please!
 
i almost bought one of these before the 4Runner

still like em

TSX Wagon. Sadly discontinued.

I've always loved the TSX wagon. I think part of the reason why the wagon didn't do well was one, americans hate wagons, and two, Acura really has just become a strange company that lost its image. Back in the '90s, there was a clear distinction between an Acura and Honda when it came to the the build quality and materials used, which is precisely what a luxury brand should be. Now, Honda and Acura seem just separate by name. I've driven later model Acuras and they all share a build that seemed like it was rushed in the assembly plant, with hard plastics, cheap carpet and strange body designs.
 
Toyota - I'd be in a 100-series Land Cruiser.

Outside of a Toyota - I had a 97 ZJ Grand Cherokee that I LOVED when I was in college. If I could find a clean version with the 242 transfer case and all the goodies I'd be happy.

I also like the 03-06 Mitsubishi Montero. (Not the Sport...) The aftermarket for it sucks and they're expensive to maintain, but they are a seemingly capable and luxurious vehicle.

Interesting that many people choose a non-4WD vehicle. Isn't that why we have 4runners? I guess many people don't use them for off road. I have a Nissan Leaf for city driving, it is my DD. If I didn't have my 4runner I'd definitely have another 4x4 of some type.
