Hi All,
Brand new to this forum, so thanks for having me. I need help understanding how to price my 4Runner.
Color: Champagne
Trim: Limited 4x4 with the V8.
Odometer: 267.6k miles.
My family bought this brand new and it was sold to me by my father to me about 9 years ago. I never wanted to sell it, but I have nowhere to keep it now that I'm in SoCal.
Almost every mile was highway outside of the rare rush hour experience and towing a small uhaul for a couple days. Otherwise no towing use, did strap a mattress to the top once for about 15 miles.
Has received oil changes every 6 months/3k miles or less over the past 9 years. Was a work travel vehicle for both my father and I, so we performed all scheduled maintenance on time or slightly early.
For the engine, had to do a gasket replacement a few years ago. Have paperwork.
Alternator was replaced about 6 years ago - do not have paperwork.
Sunroof completely functional zero issues ever.
Problems:
- Main problem is ~220k miles were done in the Midwest, so there's some - what I would assume is - significant rusting to the undercarriage. I don't know if it's surface rust or not, but I don't think the benefit of experimenting will be greater than the cost given I intend to sell to an enthusiast for this Gen vehicle.
- A/C condenser recently replaced because the A/C is not highly functional. Minor improvement, but not resolved. Have paperwork.
- Rear windshield wiper no longer functions.
- Power steering out, more difficult at a standstill or low speeds. Have not attempted to diagnose because it doesn't bother me.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! This vehicle has always ran like an absolute champ and I've listened to many a podcast in it. All of the insides are original, I'd say very minimal wear for 20 years.
Here are more pictures and a video to show engine sounds perfect.
