I have a 1988 Toyota 4Runner up for sale. This belongs to my mother-in-law. Long story short; her and her now ex-boyfriend bought this a couple years back. Ex-boyfriend took everything valuable and fled the country :mad:. So, now we are selling a bunch of stuff.

The 4runner just passed smog and we are awaiting the stickers in the mail. Currently registered and the title is not salvaged. Carfax history report shows a rear or front end collision back in 95. Content of damage, unknown. Prior to the departure, the ex-boy friend had the head replaced and new cat put on. He had been working on the interior a bit and seats are loose and missing some bolts to the front and rear seats. The only thing I've done to it is, clean up the inside and remove all the audio wiring and alarm wiring. Both were not functional. Face plate of head unit was missing. Alarm was non-functional. Rear window rolls up and down with no problems. Either by using the key at the tailgate or via the switch in the cab. I cannot provide any additional info on this vehicle, other than what I've just stated and what the Carfax report shows. Mother in-law can't provide a whole lot of info either.

Asking price is $2000 and selling as is.

Email me with any serious interest at dyogim at wellsfargo dot com. Otherwise, post a reply for any other general questions/comments.

I have not been able to really work on this runner. I've been too busy to actually do a complete check top to bottom, side to side and front to back. The better half is about 8 months pregnant and had a really bad fall on friday. Mommy and baby are okay but, it was a scary moment and she was monitored friday and saturday.

In anycase, my full attention has been with the pregancy, work and stuff around the house. After all that, then I can put my attention to the runner.

I did however, drive it for about 30 mins around town and up and over a steep graded hill in our area and it was slow but, it made it over without any issues. I turned the AC on but, couldn't really tell if it was working or not. When I turned it on/off, it was blowing cold air but, I didn't notice any temp change. Not sure if it was just too cold but, I can try it again on a warmer day. I haven't been able to check the origination of the oil residue. The only thing I notice about the tranny is shifting in and out of OD. There is a slight jerk but, nothing that's neck breaking. It did rain when I drove it and I noticed no leaks.

To be honest to everyone, if there's someone local that can check it out for you to provide another opinion, it might be best. I just can't find the time to work on it. I don't want someone regretting there decision based on my little knowledge of the history of this vehicle. I will try my best to answer the questions.
