Newbie here! 1995 Limited

Hello all! I just purchased my first 4runner! She is a 1995 SR5 3.0 (auto) 4x4 LIMITED. It is in amazing shape! 1 owner truck, always garaged with 97,000 miles. Complete service history including head gasket recall. I need to fix the saggy rear end. I am extremely happy to own this machine!

You might want to address the Corrosion on the battery terminal !!

I am surprised you included that in the picture

In the maintenance records has the timing belt been done ??

Or the owner decided not worth spending the money to have it done ?

Radiator ever been replaced Myself I don`t care for ATF and coolant sharing the same Radiator

Yes the underside is just as clean! started as a FL car and lived here its entire life.
It was part of an estate and just got lucky enough to end up as mine! $2,700!!

Those were just pictures the day I picked it up, so the corrosion is addressed.
Yes the timing belt was done. The radiator was just replaced before the car was parked for 6 months.

Looks great Jerod. ....puzzled about the earlier comment about one of your pictures but oh well.

All things considered, it appears to be in good shape for a 20 year old vehicle. The leather shows signs of wear on the passenger bottom bolster which is to be expected considering the miles and age. Use of a good leather cleaner and protectant will go a long way to mitigating further damage. .....I myself use Leather Master products but there are others out there.

It's not particularly easy to tell from the pics but the exterior paint and trim look quite healthy (surely from spending much of it's time in the garage as you mentioned). I don't know what examples like this normally go for but $2700 sounds like a no-brainer deal to me. .....congrats! Hope you have fun with it.

Copy that $27!!

Per the leather: haha, its not a volvo!! Cracked leather is standard issue on mine!!
All seriousness aside, I'd definitely totally replace my brake fluid (esp having been in a high humidity locale).
My 95 had the special service on head gasket done way back when (I had called to check on that in 2007), and it was made in 10/95. Then again, it has/had a speedo cable (not electronic) too. Which consensus said that it should not have had.

YMMV; Still yours looks sweet.
