Check out the 4Runner I just bought!

I cannot believe I just did this…but it was too good to be true (hopefully not). Click on the link and tell me what you think!

Does anyone live in or near OK City? I will pay you to check this out for me. Otherwise I will be flying out there sight unseen.

Wow, my adrenaline is going right now!

Sounds good

Looks like you got a deal on that one and saved about $5000. I hope it turns out to be true!

hey- if you look at the picture of the interior, next to the shifter, where is the 4WD shifter. Or is the set up different in a manual?



I seriously wouldn't give them a dime untill you actually go see the truck. good luck with it.

Maybe it's the pushbutton 4wd?? I drove a Taco that had pushbutton 4wd once. I think it was an '01 though.

4WD

It is stated in the vehicle description that it is a manual tranny with 4WD. Can't tell from the pics though whether or not it has a 4x4 shifter. I didn't think push button 4WD came out until 2001 either.

Their address is:

1116 Southwest 29th
Oklahoma City, OK. 73109

That would be awesome! I am very cautious right now. I want him to send me pics of the 4wd shifter.

Well, we know the odometer does not have the actual mileage, so what is the REAL ACTUAL mileage and was there anything wrong other than just a bad odometer as reported to the DMV...

I'd make sure that thing didn't get like flooded or had to have a new enginer and it only has 17K or some "hidden" little thing they just happened to forget to tell you...

The old addage "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is" comes to mind...

I do hope it works out GREAT for you though!

Thanks!

The seller is sending me a bunch of pictures. He seems cool.

Apparently this was owned by an older guy in Nevada, who parked it, then lost the title. But the title is all good now.

I will be very careful.

Hope it all works out for you, Christian! Sounds like a great deal.

If the timing of your return trip were to work out, maybe we could have a little meet-and-greet with some of us NM boys...Just a thought.
