1990 Toyota 4runner Sr5 4wd Auto – Historic Classic Needs Work on 2040-cars

Automatic transmission, 4WD option, V6 3VZE engine, no after-market mods except rims

167,XXX Original Miles (11,XXX on rebuilt engine).  (Yes, I still drive her around, too! Mileage will change)

Clean title in hand

FENDER-BENDER VICTIM!

There is some damage to the front (shown in pictures) that is not minor, but not really major. Details below…

I’m only selling this truck because I don’t really need her anymore.  I’ve had her for about 6 years, always maintained and driven sanely.  My kid has gone from college dorm to apartment, so I have nothing to haul anymore (hallelujah!).  I’m severing my attachment for the sake of practicality.

The Good:

·         Green Paint still shines! 

·         All-American steel rims still solid, with wheel locks.

·         Goodyear Wrangler SRA deep-tread tires are very meaty with only about 14kmi of use (Originally $900 for the set).

·         Rebuilt motor installed at 158k miles, runs strong, synth-blend oil only (almost due for change).

·         Transmission shifts smooth, 4WD is strong and sturdy.

·         There are no leaks anywhere!

·         Interior is great for its age. Nothing major wrong with it, but I’ll list the small stuff with the bad…

·         If you’re a Dallas Cowboys fan, you’ll love the accents! (If you’re not, they come off easy, and I’ll keep the flag!)

·         This truck is registered “Historic” in Maryland.  Cheaper tags, cheaper insurance, no emissions testing, and no inspection!  Should qualify for most states (check yours).

Overall this is a GREAT 24 year-old truck that needs some TLC to keep rolling another 100k miles!

The Bad:

·         The exhaust needs to be replaced from the catalytic converter to the tailpipe >$600 total.

·         The stabilizer bar is bent slightly. Costs about the same to repair or replace the part >$100+ labor.

·         Interior:  Clock and cigarette lighter don’t work.  Mechanic believes there’s a break in the line somewhere because all the fuses are good. I’m not pulling the dash because I never used either one, so…).  There is a small hole in the right backseat cushion.  Smaller than a nickel, probably from a cigarette.  Been there since I bought it. The factory radio works, but occasionally jumps stations for no reason to whatever you have on Preset #4.  The cassette does not work, and 3 out of 6 factory speakers work.  Power windows and locks all work, except the rear window comes off track sometimes when lowering.  Always gets back on track with a helping hand, and does not leak or cause other problems.

·         AC needs charge (I rarely used it), but it works.

·         Windshield wiper fluid tank is cracked, won’t hold fluid. (I found one for $30, but forget to get it, haven’t looked again since).

Actually, it’s not so bad for a 24 year-old truck! I’d keep her, but my wife is like… well, anyway…

The Ugly:

·         The bumper assembly, grill and hood were damaged in a fender-bender.  Bumper and grill have to be replaced, and costs vary $125+. The hood can be hammered down. Still latches, just a bit bent (not crumpled).  One headlight bulb went out because the lens was cracked.  I already have two new ones.

I haven’t gotten any appraisal to fix this because I’m selling her instead.  But, I do drive this baby occasionally, just to keep her active.  She’s always been great in bad weather. 

But, now she’s going to the highest bidder!  AS-IS!

I will show the vehicle locally in Clinton, Maryland (Prince George’s County), BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

I am willing to deliver the vehicle within 50 miles of zip code 20735 ONLY IF PAID IN FULL!

PAYPAL   OR   CASH      ONLY!

Fake bidders WILL be reported.
