just got my 06 limited, v8 with nav. 100k miles, im the 3rd owner. was $18k OTD.
found out during the test drive the 4wd low actuator was bad, they agreed to fix.
suckers!
i think they'll end up losing money on this deal.:happy:

not likely since a comparable 08 LTD v8 just sold at auction for $15.200. so they must have traded it in at or below that number. Also depends if you traded something in towards the new to you 4runner
but as a retail customer, including tax and tags OTD...thats a good number.
FYI: you looking at around $800-1000 for the timing belt water pump service. mine was never done till i had it done at 165k

4x4's in general sell for a lot more up here. considerably more.
also, they had to fix the sunroof, aswell as replace the sunshade. that, on top of the 4wd low actuator, all of that after they priced it. i figure they'll be into it atleast $4k in repairs.
it sold for $17k, thats means that had to get it for $13k or less to make anything on it...
and yes, the belt hasnt been done. they wouldnt budge on that, but were willing to do it for their price. $550. no thanks.
i just ordered the parts, i'll do it myself for less than $300.
$550 is a deal.
i have $500 in OEM red box parts. What are you not doing in the $300?
I did pump, pulleys tensioners, seals, tb belt and acc belts. Wholesale labor was $250
no seals, and no accessory belts.
doing the pump, tensioner, idler and belt. $200 shipped at rockauto. aisin brand.
ohh, no wonder. My truck lasted 165k and when i ended up doing it, the belt looked spanking new, upon closer inspection it showed signs of aging from the cracking. the pump did show evidence it was leaking and then stopping from all the caked up residue.
a job like the timing belt and water pump service...i would not trust off brands. have bad experiences with the asin pumps in the volvo community. blowing up a v8 from being cheap is not on my list of to do's LoL
Remember that those dealer auction prices vary across the country. West Coast is typically higher and those cars usually don't have any signs of rust which I would pay a premium for.
I hope that my V6 4Runner doesn't suffer from a head gasket issue down the line. It is supposedly a huge job.
