I don't respond nicely to
stupid messages such as:
"What's
your reserve?"
"What is your bottom line?"
"What's the least you'll take?"
"What is your bottom
dollar?"
"Do you have a
Buy-it-Now?"
"What'll it take to buy
it?"
"What is your asking
price?"
I will not email
you a figure but we can talk about it.
It's a flippin' Auction! That means . . .
it's your
number that counts . . . not mine.
Also, if yours is among the hundreds of emails I get with
any of the above lame questions, I will immediately
assume that you(r):
•
have not
taken time to read the listing
•
have
zero intent to purchase
• are
clueless about relevant market values
• forthcoming "offer" will be completely detached from
reality
26
years in the business has proven beyond all doubt that serious buyers
read every line, look at every picture, research well
enough on their own and feel confident making a real
offer.
Our presentations are unequalled, on eBay or anywhere
else.
We are therefore, usually able to choose from among
quality buyers that actually want to
purchase a vehicle.
THE ONLY WAY TO WORK YOUR DEAL IS TO CALL ME!
My
vehicles are so unique and so rare,
knowing how much they will or should sell for is nearly impossible.
That is the magic of an eBay auction . . . serious
buyers making a serious offer.

Backstory
from the owner...
You are
looking for the nicest, best kept, best
maintained 4Runner you can find. You are
here because the quality found in your neck of
the woods, by even the lowest standards, is a
joke. I know exactly how you feel. I
attend specialty and dealer-only auctions every
week searching for the best of the best in what
me and my assistant (Foy) call "niche autos."
I scan lists of over 3,000 vehicles locally each
week and select cars I've come to know are hard
to find and that fit my business model of
marketing exclusively on eBay. 3rd
generation 4Runners make it onto my own list every time
they show up and a small number, maybe 2-3 a
week, appear at one of the three major auctions
here in the Las Vegas area or perhaps in local
classifieds. During the past seven years I
see dozens or more 4Runners every
single year and what that means for you is; I have
looked at,
touched and smelled a lot of Toyota SUVs.
I am extremely picky about what to buy and this
4Runner is one of just a handful nice
enough for this business model. Past ownership, service history and
condition, condition, condition are what
matters. Used vehicles are not
always treated well, but a precious few are
taken care of. This particular 4Runner is
one of those rare finds and you will not want to
pass it up. Beautiful paint, spectacular
interior and an absolute knock-out to see in
person. As good as my pictures are, they
can't possibly show how truly beautiful this
truck really is. What
else could you want? A great deal? I
have that covered too but you will not be
purchasing this fine automobile for wholesale or
even low book value. You already know you
get what you pay for and if you want unmatched
quality, service, care and condition, this
4Runner is a super rare find. Read what
Foy has to say after spending a few days behind
the wheel. Examine
every picture in detail, see the amazing
condition, up close and personal and then make
your call and give me an offer. I promise,
you will not be disappointed.

After taking this SUV home, I now see why
everybody likes these so much. This is a 2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5
in unbelievably good
condition with just 68,673 original low miles. It has color-matched
running boards,
power sun roof and Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) and it drives
like an absolute dream. 4Runners are probably the
most sought after and most reliable SUV ever made and a
quick search on eBay or anywhere else will confirm just how
few 4Runners there are with mileage this low, let alone
condition this spectacular . . .

The Millennium Silver paint is gorgeous to
see on this no hit/no accident gem; very few minimal
scratches and paint chips. The body is
straight, tires are awesome and the 16-inch alloy wheels are
perfect as far as I can see . . .
Seams are straight and consistent and
panel alignment is new-car tight. The dark tint is
much appreciated here in sunny southern Nevada
. . .
Receiver toe hitch wired and ready
for a trailer and roof rack has adjustable bars . . .
Rear wiper, rear wing and integrated mud
flaps . . .
Exterior trim is beautiful and as you can
see, this 4Runner's quality stands out from any angle
I don't know how he does it but once
again, Doug (owner, Viva Las Vegas Autos, Inc.) has found
that one-in-a-million perfect choice diamond everybody hopes
to find, dealers and customers alike. It's an easy
sell too, with quality far above even the highest
expectations. This remarkable SUV goes down the road
smooth as silk, shifts perfectly, stops straight as an
arrow. The air conditioner blows ice cold and the
CD/audio sounds great. And again, look at the
competition and see how rare a 4Runner with mileage this low
is, with quality condition to match . . .
Carpeted floor
mats, leather wrapped tilt steering wheel and lumbar support
. . .
Also has a rear heater with separate
controls . . .
68,673 works out to just over 5,200 miles a
year - roughly a third the normal mileage for a 13-year old
vehicle . . .
3.4 Liter DOHC V6 Engine (5VZ-FE)

We always take all of our vehicles to a
third party service center that knows our commitment to
details and determination to provide our buyers with
exceptional quality. No different with this vehicle even
though the miles were super low. Their recommendation was to
replace the front struts on the truck, replace the timing
belt and water pump (not cheap), replace a broken antenna
mast and service the fluids with a new synthetic oil change.
We did all they recommended. Call any reputable service
facility and get the cost on that recommendation, it won't
be much less than about $2500. That's money you will not be
spending that you would from most other dealers and
absolutely if you bought from a private owner...that's why
they might sell them cheaper than I do. As I've said before,
I may not be the seller with the cheap winning prices, but
you won't be spending a fortune on hidden issues with me
either.
Clean, dry and perfect . . .no leaks...no
damage
Same shot as above but with the front skid
plates removed for your inspection. How many sellers
take the trouble to do that?
Full size spare and clean as a whistle
back here too.

Original owner books.
A note from the owner.
I am a “used car dealer” but before that,
I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high
quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve
been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding
selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize
in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that
were cherished by their previous owners. I have an
experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my
preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I
have therefore, built my business and reputation around
finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.
Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict
requirements but a car must do something for me on a
personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the
bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional
vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably
won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of
business.
With just four employees and no sales
people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may
at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort
to create such an organization and often, an unusually high
investment in a particular car we are about to list. To
sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my
corner and Chris, owner of
A-Best Auto Repair
in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix
anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute
most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no
small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point
inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes
their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that
everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back
to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy
customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it
allows my writer to describe the car with ease and
confidence, something that simply is not possible unless
he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the
cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too
expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply
absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it
at auction.
After the vehicle is fully sorted it
arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious
eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see
on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else
tells him about the car as he combs over every inch,
researches its history and documents originality and
authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special
features, possible modifications and much more are used to
accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.
Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150
high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey
equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the
very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a
logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with
close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed
views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a
lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty
of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep.
Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so
meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take
several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially
prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each
car lovingly receives.
Usually, I’ll also include a high
definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If
it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4
you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will
hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system
and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser
thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many
“dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We
do.
No “dealer,” on-line or in the real
world, takes it to this level. No other seller or
organization provides you, the buyer, with so much
information. I do this because it is the only way I can
convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or
feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I
say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay
in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every
buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on
eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that
are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought
it.
If you have any questions at all, please
call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is
sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most
accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If
you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my
bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the
conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the
trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest
nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a
number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste
your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.”
Serious buyers know the maximum they can
offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that
number.
If you hit the reserve, the decision is no
longer mine. I must sell at that number.
OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or
