If you’ve been looking for a good deal of a great 4Runner this is the auction you’ve been looking for, and NO it’s not a typo…IT’S IN MICHIGAN!!!!

I bought this truck back when there was a lot of snow on the ground. I travel a lot for work and wanted a 4X4 for the bad Michigan winter. Now that the weather is better I see no reason to continue to pay insurance for 2 vehicles so it’s time for the 4Runner to go.

 

It’s a 2000 SR5 V6 (5VZ FE) with a Toyota supercharger. The truck and motor (3.4L) have approx. 198K, and the super charger has approx. 60K. The previous owner, who use to be a Toyota mechanic, installed it, along with a new timing belt, about 60K ago.

This is my first experience with a supercharger, and this truck runs better, faster, and with more torque than any other Toyota I have ever owned, and  I love the low pitched whine it make when I accelerate.

But, like I said I have no reason to pay for 2 vehicles so my loss is your gain…..here’s the specs.

Exterior:

The truck is 15 years old, but as you can clearly see from all the pictures it has been VERY WELL taken care of. There are a few spots of surface rust starting to show, the seam between the body panel and the rear bumper, the rear bumper, and a few other spots I’ve taken pictures of. The rocker panels on both sides have some pretty bad rust spots, under the vehicle, out of view, unless you’re looking for them. Other than that, the finish is fantastic, some paint chips that have been touched up, but, the best looking 15 year old 4X4 I’ve ever seen.  The wheels have some road rash, very repairable minor surface scratches. The tires are new, as you can see from the pictures, the receipt for them is in the glove box. They only have about 15K on them, and have recently been rotated. The emblems on the back of the truck have been removed, and the rear taillights have been replaced with black-outs, there are black window guards,  black bug guard, and a front brush guard, black, which makes for a fantastic look.

Interior:

The condition of the interior is also fantastic, there is a rip in the rear seat, and a stain in the cargo area, other than that it’s near perfect. There are no rips in the driver’s seat where that usually wear out, the original cargo cover is still there, and fully functional. There is an aftermarket AM/FM/CD/DVD/GPS touch screen in the dash, and the dash panel has been filled out to fit it. This truck is incredibly clean even under the rear seats are spotless. The floor mats are aftermarket but they look good in the truck, front and rear. Everything in the truck works fine, PW, PL, PM, moon roof, heat, and cold AC, the rear window goes up and down, all gauges work fine, and the dash lights for ABS, 4X4, OD Off, cruise, brake, and everything else are functional, and there are NO warning lights on as you can see from the picture of the truck going down the road.

Under the Hood:

As you can see from the photo’s the motor is clean (well taken care of), the timing belt cover had to be notched to fit the supercharger. There is a K&N air filter, just cleaned. I had to replace the knock sensors, so I also put in new plugs (1 step colder, as recommended for the supercharger), wires, PCV valve, drive belt, and all new gaskets. I had to replace the battery, see receipt. I also installed a remote starter. The latch for the hood is sticky and doesn’t always latch the first time.

 

Overall:

There is one small chip in the bottom of the windshield, out of view, and the power antenna has been replaced with a rigid mast antenna, but reception is fine. The clear coat around the hood scoop is starting to peal. I had the oil changes done at the dealership, and they did a thorough inspection of brakes, suspension, etc., and found no problems. I have the Car Fax for the truck, there was one small incident that lists as minor damage but otherwise a clear report. I will email it upon request. The emergency brake doesn't work. 

Although this truck has almost 200K on it, based on my opinion of the condition of this truck, it has at least another 100K left on it. And possible more if you continue to take care of this truck.

The photos are the best representation of this 4Runner I could get, but if you have any questions or would like to request specific photo’s please let me know. No 0 feedback bidding unless approved by me. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required at the close of the auction and the vehicle must be picked up within 7 days of completed auction

Thank You, and Happy Bidding

Japanese earthquakes send ripples through auto industry

Mon, Apr 18 2016

The earthquakes since April 14 in Japan's Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu are having aftershocks on the US auto industry, particularly for Toyota. The company shut down most of its factories in the country due to parts shortages, and the plants will be closed at least through April 23. "Decisions regarding recommencement of operation at plants in Japan will be made on the basis of availability of parts," the company said in a statement. According to Automotive News, Toyota's closed factories include a vast range of popular models in the US, including the Toyota Prius, Mirai, RAV4, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, Lexus ES, LS, IS, GS, RC, NX, RX, GX, and LX. The company's only sites in Japan that are still open build Hino trucks, Daihatsu models, and the Toyota Century limo. Toyota isn't yet sure whether these shutdowns could lead to vehicle shortages in the US. "As you can imagine, we are still reviewing the situation and working to learn more," company spokesperson Aaron Fowles told Autoblog. "While we know that production will be suspended in stages at most of our vehicle assembly facilities in Japan between April 18th and the 23rd, we do not know if they will continue production suspensions. Also, any effects to our inventory and/or sales have yet to be determined." He expects the automaker to know more in the coming days. Many of the affected Toyota plants aren't even in Kumamoto Prefecture, but major suppliers have factories in the region. For example, Aisin Seiki and Renesas Electronics both had to shutdown operations at plants in the area, according to Automotive News. Toyota isn't the only automaker affected. Nissan experienced a brief slowdown but was back to work on Monday, and Honda has suspended a motorcycle plant in the region until Friday. Mitsubishi had to close a production line due to the parts shortage, according to The Japan Times, but it didn't affect US models. "A supplier to our Mizushima plant has been impacted but they only supply an engine part for our mini car line. That line has been temporarily shut down due to that situation," spokesperson Alex Fedorak told Autoblog. "That same plant builds the Lancer and i-MiEv and there has been no impact to that line and production continues uninterrupted." Two major quakes hit Kumamoto Prefecture around Kumamoto city in the past week. The first on April 14 measured 6.4 magnitude, and a second on April 16 measured 7.3.

Australia may offer money to keep Toyota making cars there

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

In the wake of last month's announcement that Ford will cease automotive and engine production in Australia after 2016, many are wondering what the country's other automakers will do. Holden has already confirmed it will stay the course despite Ford's exit.
Much of the GM subsidiary's reason for sticking around has to do with a deal made last year between Holden and the Australian government. In order to secure a GM investment of $1 billion and a commitment to keep manufacturing in Australia through 2022, the government threw in an extra $215 million. According to Australia's Minister for Innovation and Industry, Greg Combet, the government is now in talks with Toyota for a similar deal.
Toyota operates one plant in Australia, the Altona manufacturing and engine plant in Victoria. The facility produces the Camry, Camry Hybrid and Australasia-only Aurion for both the local market and export. The report from GoAuto indicates that negotiations with the Australian government would include adding production of a third, all-new model at Altona, possibly the new RAV4, because it shares many parts with the Camry.

Scion reveals iM concept ahead of LA debut

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

After dropping a teaser image on us a few weeks ago, Scion has revealed in full the new iM Concept it's bringing to the Los Angeles Auto Show next week. As expected, the concept is clearly a rebadged version of the Euro-market Toyota Auris, only with some "European Racing Circuit Styling" upgrades to make it look more aggressive.
Along with the Scion logos, the five-door hatch is treated to a deeper air dam flanked by angular vents with stacked fog lamps, beefed-up wheel arches linked by widened side sills and filled with 19-inch, anthracite-finish alloys on low-profile rubber. Vented brake discs and four-piston calipers join an adjustable suspension as show-worthy equipment upgrades.
The sporty treatment continues around back with a similarly aggressive rear bumper and roof spoiler. Even the wing mirrors are replaced with narrower units. Little wonder it's all done up in a shade Scion calls "incrediblue" that looks rather similar to what sister-brand Lexus would put on one of its F-branded performance models - or for that matter what corporate ally Subaru would put on an STI hot hatches like the WRX.
