Just purchased my '05 V8 Sport

[IrfanM]

Hey folks,

Just picked up my '05 4Runner V8 SportEdition with 58k miles. Clean Title, no accidents.... I'm pretty car savvy, and did a nice thorough check out. Only issue is some light surface rust since it was originally a RI car. I think that's a pretty great deal, your thoughts? Anything to look out for? Any advice?

Left this (still for sale, 02; 68k; 5-speed; Navi; Heated Leather; Stands stock except exhaust and SRI):

Now have this:

Plans: A/V , Lift, Safari Rack...

All input appreciated, thanks!

I'm jealous, I just bought my 2005 sr5 v8 originally from RI for 16k from a dealer with 82,000 miles.

Nice Runner!!!! I love the sport edition hood, wish I could/had that on my limited!

How many miles? Has the timing belt and water pump been replaced if you have over 90k miles on it? How are the brakes? Lots of complaints about seized caliper pistons from rust states.

Haha, I'm always up here in NNJ! That is where I bought the car from, however, I reside down in Central VA which is where the car is headed to!
