#10623 of 11416 Be on the lookout $$$$ by timber104 Apr 09, 2005 (2:19 pm)
Hello All,   I bought my third Toyota 4Runner, one year ago this month. I payed $32,000.00 (plus tax) for a SR5 with DVD player, then added PIAA headlights, Vent shades on all windows, Window etching of VIN # on all windows, and adding window tint on the front 2 windows. The vehicle is outstandingly clean. There are 12,500 miles on it. I went to trade it in on a Toyota Prius in Toyota of Cherry Hill, NJ, they wanted to give me only $21,600, with an explanation that Convertibles are what people want, not 4WD vehicles, this is driving the value down. Then I want to 4 other dealers in the Metro New York area today, and found out that dealers use the Galves blue book, and a 2004 4Runner is only valued at $22,000.00 plus $900.00 for a DVD player, all the other things on the 4Runner do not matter and are worth nothing!.   So, if you own a newer Toyota 4Runner, it may be worth a lot less today, than you may think. As well as over the next 3 months the price may fall $1000.00 per quarter. Expected to be around $18,000.00 by September.    Good luck to all,
#10624 of 11416 98 4Runner - hood looks like it's going to blow off! by rcline Apr 10, 2005 (4:12 am)
Hello, have a 1998 4Runner and at about 75-80 mph, the hood moves all over the place...it looks like it's barely hangin' on, but when I check it, it seems secure. Anyone else notice this or have any suggestions to cinch this thing down better? Thanks. Richard in Atlanta Replies to this message: edrick (May 27, 2005 7:56 am)
#10625 of 11416 Does 2005 4Runner radio have security code? by olaf500 Apr 11, 2005 (11:19 am)
Hello all!   Just bought new 2005 4Runner Sport with basic audio about 3 weeks ago. Dealer never mentioned this feature and did not give any security codes. I just remembered when I bought Honda CR-V last year for my wife they gave me one. So questions: did anyone receive security code for the basic 4Runner radio/cd/cassette head unit when purchasing the car? Does it have one? Should I be worried disconnecting the battery?   Thanks a lot.

My "03 4Runner Limited has a fuel capacity of 22.5 gallons. At any rate, are you topping off your tank? If so, this is a no-no, since doing so may damage the fuel cap, as well as cause certain sensors to malfunction. When the gas pump shuts off at the end of refueling, do not top off the tank.

#10629 of 11416 remote starter??? by fatport Apr 13, 2005 (6:56 pm)
I just bought a used 04 V6 Ltd. The other day I hit the remote to lock it and it started. I thought, cool, it has a remote starter. I put the key in to turn it off, but it didn't respond. I hit the brakes and it stopped. I haven't been able to repeat this miracle, and the owner's manual doesn't say anything about a remote start. I can see no evidence that the previous owner installed one either. I don't suppose anyone else has had this experience.

Replying to: jeff193 (Apr 11, 2005 7:21 pm) Jeff,       For a V8, I think you are getting good mileage. Those EPA estimates are just that. I suspect their estimates are from continous driving with no stopping. There are other varibles to consider too. If someone else drove your vehicle, the mileage most likely would be differant. I notice on my 2004 V6, that the mileage increased as the weather got warmer by about 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 miles per gallon. Now I am getting 14 miles per gallon with a combination of city and highway driving. Most of my driving is of short duration that takes only on average about 10 to 20 minutes to arrive. I feel confident that I would get 17 or more mpg if it was all highway driving at longer distances. Bob. Replies to this message: tcpoob (Apr 14, 2005 7:36 am)
