So I guess I might be selling my 4runner. Not real happy about it but the opportunity came up for me to get a very low mileage 08 Prius and I took it.. Yes I said Prius. The Mpgs are killing me and I'm just not sure I wanna watch it sit there and rot away.
Ive been trying to look around and see what's out there price wise but they are al over the place! dealers and private sellers. I even went and looked at a few locally and they were junk and one was obviously lying about the mileage and ran like crap. All wanted very high prices for miles ranging from 150k(supposedly) to 250k. The frames are junk and needed all kinds of work.
Mine is an 04 Sport 4WD in Silver. Mechanically I've taken very good care of it and fixed everything that needed fixing with top teir parts (OEM,Moog,Bilstein, ETC) All fluids changed within the past year, Transmission was done 4x times over at the time.
Currently it could use some brakes, I did purchased all brand new calipers, pads rotors, backing plates and SS brake hoses for a 5th ben upgrade but haven't installed yet. I started painting them black and then the Prius came into play so I put my time into that. Now its cold!
The exterior is where things get a bit hairy, the plastic was worn which I see is common and the plan was to strip and paint it next spring, thanks to someone flying around a corner and coming into my lane I swung to the side a bit and tapped a guard rail. No damage to any metal but the plastic along the whole side got messed up a bit. Seems very minor and I'm fairly certain with some light sanding and repaint it will not be noticeable.
Frame has had some repairs done to the front but the rest looks decent, frame treatment with paint and transmission fluid was also on the list but same deal because of the Prius I stopped and focused on that, given it was sitting for a year it also needed some attention.
Really mixed on selling it but right now trying to figure out where it might be priced given this market and the shape its in. I can post some pics if that helps but if anyone might be interested or has any idea where the price might be around i would appreciate it. Thank you!
