Price is a little high, and tires are almost out of tread. Plus timing belt needs to be done. Help me. Let me know your opinion.

For a different price maybe, that's what a dealer would be asking for price. He's posted it several times on CL without a price change and no bites. Nothing to special in my mind except the 5spd.

I picked up an 00 Sport with less miles 98K and one owner for a couple grand less.

have those seats been redone? or is that a factory leather?

Could be factory leather. Hard to tell by the pics. You could get the leather in the SR5 as an option.

5spd/elocker is a fairly rare combo. He clearly knows what he has, and is commanding a mint for it.

If you can talk him down, it seems like a nice one.

Yeah that doesn't look like factory leather. $11k is pretty high, I'd say around $9k is fair.

Looks nice. I'd say the ad is a little too salesly. He obviously won't shut up about how great it is and how he is losing on it.

It comes down to if you really want it. I just bought a 2001 in Denver and I probably paid a little high for it, but I really wanted this combo and miles. I'd say if he can come down a bit go for it if you're seriously looking for a manual.

The factory seats have the seams going from front to back on the bottom cushion, not side to side.

The guy is a douche. Another forum member had been going back and forth with him. He was asking $9,200 then upped the price and won't come down.

It's an $8500 truck given the maintenance needs & tires.

There are better ones out there for less money than what this clown will take.

x2 on him being a douche...

Favorite part: "...clutch done about 15k ago at Mountain States Toyota who said this was an awesome 4Runner."
Yes! I've been searching high and low for the official "awesome" rating! :reddance:

Yup, that's what my '96 LTD has...
