Description
Overview: This 2003 Toyota 4Runner V8 4WD is in excellent condition and currently running great. It features the highly durable 8-cylinder engine and a robust automatic transmission.
Performance: The vehicle is mechanically sound with 181,577 miles, which is significantly lower than average for this model year. It is smog-ready and performs well as a daily driver or adventure vehicle.
History: This is a clean-title SUV located in Culver City. It has been well-maintained and represents a fantastic value for the iconic 4th Gen 4Runner platform.
Market Highlights
- The V8 Cult Following: In 2026, the 4th Generation 4Runner remains one of the most desirable used SUVs due to its 4.7L V8 engine, which was shared with the Land Cruiser. It offers a towing capacity and smoothness that modern four-cylinder turbo SUVs cannot replicate.
- Southern California Demand: Culver City and the greater Los Angeles area represent the peak market for 4WD Toyotas. Rust-free chassis and the active outdoor lifestyle in the region keep resale values 15-20% higher than in the Rust Belt or Midwest.
- Generational Value Retention: As new vehicle prices remain high and complexity increases, buyers are returning to 'Golden Era' Toyotas from the early 2000s. A clean-title, V8, 4WD 4Runner is considered a 'blue chip' automotive investment that depreciates very slowly.
