I am thinking of purchasing a 2000 SR5 4Runner. One owner, all records, oil changed regularly, all maintenance done. New Michelins, brush guard, sun roof. Vehicle is in excellent shape and I think it could be had for a fair price. What should I be looking out for in this truck? Timing belt was done at about 80K. It has 118K on it now. Rides very tight. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Jay

Thanks, but what I was looking for was specific technical issues that I should be looking for on this model ie timing belt replacements, CV boot wear, etc. Any input would be welcome. Thanks, Jay

Just want some thoughts. I have a 2004 V8 Limited, which will be 5 years old in Feb. 09. I still have the original battery. Should I seriously consider replacing it before the cold weather really sets in? Or save my money and keep watch on the indicator? I have not been having any problems.

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 19, 2008 8:52 am) There is an occasional power train "clunk" on this last generation that doesn't affect anything, but a few find irritating. Also, If anyone buys new with a model that has the X-Reas suspension, I would highly suggest buying the Toyota Factory warranty. This system is covered under the platinum warranty offered by Toyota. There have been isolated issues of this system leaking and needing work. It happened to me but I had the warranty. Total cost for one shock was $300.00 plus labor. Toyota paid for two days of a rental car while locating the part. Total invoice around $500.00 BTW-total suspension replacement of the X-Reas runs $3,000.00! |
