Been a while, and months of searching...back in 2016 I bought and owned a 2001 4Runner Sport for 2.5 years, as an "in between" truck, and loved it. Many upgrades later.
I'm an executive for a car corporation daily, and have new demos 24/7, but missed having my own. The 4Runner was great, but lacking in legroom, etc. for me.
In comes...100 series. Browsed them for a year. Finally found one in white pearl, chromed wheels, <200k, and very well kept. Just put a deposit down on:
2000 LX470 in Golden Pearl with Ivory
193,xxx miles
California history, then Oregon, then north NJ
+Nakamichi - Since replaced with a double din Pioneer, by the dealer
+Roof rack
+Tow hitch
+Cargo mat
+Wood & leather steering wheel
Love it. Waiting to pick up, until I can grab a ride, and cashier's check.
Timing belt, etc. was done at a Toyota dealer at 155k, and is marked under hood, among other items. All bone stock, except for chrome plated stock 16" wheels that are starting to bubble, one silver stock wheel, and Michelins, new on back but worn on front.
Needs:
-HVAC blows ice cold but is stuck on low fan only despite Auto, or changing the fan speed. Seems to be a simple issue, from reading here, I hope.
-AHC works perfectly, up, down, in between, and was serviced after 100k
-Runs silently, smoothly, etc.
-Pulls a bit to the right, but the front tires are also worn. Looking for (2) quick replacements, and might have found them.
-Front cornering light on the passenger's side is cracked and the lense loose
Can't wait to start driving this...and sort out the few things, starting with the "um, low only?" blower motor. The rest...is seemingly strong.
