Anyone? It's a 2003 4Runner, sport package, V6, 4wd, 66k. Galactic gray mica (metallic blue) over black cloth. Normal power stuff, premium JBL CD stereo, wireless rear headphones, moonroof, rear spoiler, towing package with receiver hitch. It has the color matched trim, not the ugly gray plastic cladding.

This car has been maintained to BMW standards, but it's my wife's, so it's had an easy life. We're the original owners, and it has had Mobil 1 synthetic since the first recomended oil change at 3000. It's had Mobil 1 and OEM filters every 5k or less after that (book interval is 7500 with dino oil:eek:). In the last few thousand it has had Royal Purple in the front and rear diffs and transfer case, new interior and engine air filters, and spark plugs. Tires have maybe 20k on them, have been balanced and rotated regularly, and a lot of life left. Alignment was checked when tires were installed, and it was spot on. All maintenance is up to date, and I have all records.

Exterior is excellent, except for a few rock chips. She loves her 4Runner, and tends to park away from other cars. No accidents, no paintwork. Interior is immaculate, with Weathertech rubber floormats. Seats protected from child seat wear by seat protectors, non smokers, no pets. It's been absolutely flawless, but that's to be expected with a Toyota. V6 has 240 HP, so it never feels lacking for power, but gets up to 25 MPG on the highway. Sport package includes nice alloy 17" wheels, and hydraulic cross linked shocks, similar to the Audi RS6. It's no RS6, but handles and rides very well for a SUV. If you care to go off road (she sure didn't), it has electronic switch on the fly 4wd, with high and low range. Locking center diff, limited slip, stability control, traction control, downhill ascent control, skid plates, differential vents, all sorts of good stuff my wife didn't need.

Selling it has been very hard for her, but we've decided we need something with a 3rd row. It's perfect for our two kids, but when her younger siblings come visit (she's the oldest of 10), we don't have much room for other kids. Leaning towards a Cadillac SRX, so if anyone has a low mileage V8 AWD with a 3rd row seat and DVD, we be happy to talk about trades. Otherwise, we're asking $21,000 OBO, and is located in Wichita. Title is clear, and in hand, no liens. No pics yet, I'm hoping to get some this weekend. In the last week we've had a baby and closed on a house, so thing have been a bit, ahem, busy.

C'mon, surely someone's wife wants to drive a large vehicle with far more capability than is necessary?:)

Actually, this needs to go to CO, where it can be used as God intended.

jeep is just as capable, cheaper to fix, and already paid for!

yeah but it will rust like no other :)

Sounds like a very nice deal. Only if i had money, and a place to keep it i would be all over it. Good Luck man.

I think they got that problem sorted out by now. It cracks me up though, there's '80s Toyota trucks with holes rusted in their bodies, but they're still going strong. Damn things just won't die.
