I have a '95 4-Runner 3.0 V-6, Automatic Tranny, 4WD almost 167k miles in New York City. My plates expire in a couple of weeks and as much as I like my 4-Runner I am going to part with it. I was originally thinking of donating the car but I don't think that I make enough money in a year for the deduction to be worth it. So I'm reaching out here to see if it is worth selling instead. I figure if there was anyplace to get a feeler this is it. Anyway here are some of the greusome details:

Leaks coolant - not sure where from, I just replaced the timing belt and water pump about 3k ago, I don't think its the weep on the water pump I think that the seal on the pump might have gave somewhere.

Check engine light is on - I get code 17 or 71 cant remember emissions control whichever number that is.

Catalitic Converter stolen I just filled in the blank with a peice of pipe and put a glass pack on it, nice exhaust note!

New front brake pads 2k ago rear ABS light is on though

Rebuilt rear axle, bearings and seals about 10k ago

New starter about 9k ago

Regular oil changes every 3-4k from me

Body is a little tired. People in New York City are not very respectul of other peoples vehicles so it has been run into a couple of times. Back and pass side bumper need some work. One tail light lens is broken, one front signal light lens is broken. Several small dents and scratches.

The tires have some miles on them, probably due for a change before next winter.

4WD works great, got me out of the snow every time this and last winter without a problem. Got to love it when every other person on the street is digging their car out of the snow in the morning to go to work and all you have to do is drop into 4 and pow!

I think that with the car I will include my creeper, 1.5 ton floor jack and stands, hayes repair manual, spare water pump but I think its the wrong one, maybe some other tools as well, maybe.

Here are some pictures:







I have tons of nice things to say about this truck but I am sure that you all know how great these things are otherwise you wouldn't be here. Anyway, anyone have any idea how much I could get for something like this if I was going to sell it?
Thanks

 

Bump, any help?

yesi think you could get atleast 500-1 grand as is unseen... if you fix minor problems or if they arnt that bad you could get 1500-2k

its in pretty nice shape for new york!!

do you have another vehicle??? you really dont need to have a car in the city i bet.... good luck with the sale!! clean interior

 

Around here in NC that would run about 3k maybe more. Best way I have found to get prices is buy some kind of auto trader book from the area and compare similar vehicles.

U have a nice truck and anyone looking for a dd to fix up or build a rig should jump on it!

 

Well, if the coolant leak is the headgasket then you won't get much. I would pay maybe 1800 for it if it was just a leaky water pump. Maybe post it up for 2500 OBO

 

Look on craigslist to see what they are going for in NY

 

What's with all the feeler threads lately? Either sell your rig or don't. Start high and negotiate the price down till someone buys it. You will get a lot more for that one if you do some work on it. There are only a few things that cause the rear ABS to come on. The CEL can be cleared with a scan tool. That rear bumper piece is simple to put back on if you find one. Personally if it were me if you were asking over 1500 for that rig I would not even get out of my car to look just based on it's appearance. If I did get out to look I'd run away as soon as I saw two lights on in the cluster.

 

Well I have been looking around on Autotrader and Ebay to try and get an idea of what I should do with it. Looks like I am going to go write $1000 obo on the window with my phone number. I'll probably put it on Craigslist as well. Maybe I will get some bites, if not there is always a no reserve on Ebay I can put it up with.

 

Yeah its deffinetly the water pump. I think I'm going to put it on Craigslist here in NY and write for sale on the window with my numbher. That should get me a start.

 

OK, I put it on Ebay $750 Minimum $1500 buy it now if you are interested here is the item number: 130223984675
