Description
Overview: This 1999 Toyota 4Runner Limited Edition is a one-owner vehicle, meticulously maintained by an professional auto mechanic throughout its entire life. This ensures the mechanical integrity is far superior to typical high-mileage examples.
Recent Maintenance: In 2024, the vehicle received extensive service including a new timing belt, water pump, front crank seal, drive belts, front cam seals, and all associated idlers and tensioners. It is mechanically robust and road-ready.
Current Needs: The vehicle currently requires new spark plugs. The seller is willing to negotiate the price downward if the buyer prefers to handle this minor maintenance item themselves.
Condition and History: The vehicle is in excellent condition, reflecting the care of its original owner. With 4WD and the Limited trim, it represents the pinnacle of the third-generation 4Runner's capability and comfort.
Market Highlights
- The 3rd Gen Legend: In 2026, the 1996-2002 4Runner has transitioned from a used SUV to a genuine modern classic. Buyers value the analog driving experience, compact dimensions, and legendary Toyota reliability that modern, more complex turbocharged SUVs often lack.
- The SoCal Premium: Southern California remains the premier market for these vehicles. The lack of road salt preserves the chassis, allowing high-mileage examples like this to remain structurally sound. A mechanic-owned, rust-free 4WD 4Runner in grey is a top-tier enthusiast target.
- Ownership Provenance: Single-owner status for a 27-year-old vehicle is extremely rare. When that owner is an auto mechanic, the typical 'high mileage' risks are significantly mitigated, as critical maintenance intervals were likely performed proactively rather than reactively.
