2001 Toyota 4runner, clean, 129,xxx miles

2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Description

Background info: I’ve owned this 4Runner since April 2010, it was purchased from Team Toyota in Langhorne, PA. It had a clean Carfax and was a (1) one owner vehicle prior to me (I’m almost positive of this, looking for paperwork now). At that time it had 74,xxx or so miles on it. I’ve owned is since then, with it being my primary vehicle to and from work, which is about 5 miles each way. It’s never been taken off road or abused. The only reason I’m selling it is because I just picked up a 2014 Wrangler Unlimited and want to use the money on upgrades for that.

This is the second 4Runner I’ve owned, the prior being a 1999 4Runner Highlander Edition. I owned that one for about (8) eight years, and drove it from 79,xxx miles to 174,xxx. I eventually sold it on Yotatech.com to a gentleman who flew out from Utah and drove it back with a buddy.

I listed everything below about the truck you’ll need to know, and I’m probably being too honest about things that are broken. But I’m a believer in karma…plus it’s just the right thing to do. Any questions just ask. Thanks.

Pros: -Only 129,xxx miles for a (16) sixteen year old truck

-Runs/drives great, no mechanical issues/problems

-New tires, 265/70R16, in 2014 (only 16,800 miles on them). They were done at Newark Toyota World in Delaware.

-Tune up including new plugs, factory Toyota plug wires, etc done at 90,xxx

-New battery in 2014

-Rear axle seals done in 2014, done at local mechanic shop

-I have service records since new from Toyota, including previous owner. (I don’t have receipts of smaller things like oil changes that were done in my driveway, etc)

-New front brakes in Nov. 2014 (I have parts receipt from Toyota)

Cons:-I have not done the water pump/timing belt (I never did it with my previous 4Runner and it was fine at 175,xxx miles)

-The remote for the keyless entry died on me about 2-3 years ago (I dropped it in a puddle). I never bothered to replace it. The key works the locks and rear window as it should.

-The antenna is busted which is common for these trucks and is stuck halfway up/down (see pics)

-Rust just finally started showing on the rear bumper about 4-6 months ago

-Sounds like a small exhaust leak is starting to form. Not sure if it is the muffler or just one of the connector pipes below. This sound started maybe about 2 months ago.

-Toyota techs noticed an oil leak from the rear of the valve covers (I think when they were replacing the tires) and recommended the gaskets be replaced. I researched the issue on Yotatech and other 4Runner forums and found that the nuts on top of the valve covers were just loose. I tightened them down, and have not had an issue since. (Just thought I should mention it, since it’s listed on the service records from Toyota)

-The radio backlight does not illuminate. So you can’t see it in the dark, but the numbers, etc are all still there and easily visible with daylight

-The interior is in pretty good shape (in my opinion), but I do have little kids who have spilled milk, cookies, crackers, etc in the back seat. See pictures for details.

I will not ship this vehicle, even if you want to pay to have it shipped! Sorry scammers.
