Most popular Toyota 4Runner for sale

I am taking this time to write about our experience in buying a 2005 Toyota. We owned a 2000 and LOVED it. I wanted to give my wife a new 4 Runner so I ordered a special made Sport Edition. I would of purchased a limited, but we do not care for leather seating. We ended up with a 2005. Same as 2007! SO READ THIS!! We were told that the only difference was in size, and model changes. I reviewed the new model on lot and liked it.We spend an extra 2800.00 and had heated seats installed and had a DVD overhead installed .I am a E-Bay searcher. I always look at how many models are for sale. Right now you can fine more newer Highlander and 4-Runners on E-Bay and other locations then ever. No one ever would give there Toyota up. Before I ordered our Toyota, I test drove a Jeep. My wife loved that vehicle. Nice options!! But when I compared mileaged, I went back to Toyota. Performance is great on the vehicle, except motor makes clicking noises and are louder in winter. Was told this is new top end design on motor.So truthfully performance is good, but turns are downfull in my mine in rating a 5. TOP heavy. In rating reliability I give a 1 because the vehicle has spent so much time back to the dealer for repairs they CAN"T fix and say nothing is wrong with it. Our four wheel drive does not work correct. New design is a problem!! The rear has spun around on us 4 times leaving (Driving) at times we were turning out. Complete lost of control occurs and you can not get vehicle back in lane. I had this happen to me after my wife did 3 times. Comfort is terrible! I state terrible, because you don't spend almost 40,000.00 on a vehicle that has wind noise. The drivers side windows have high noise level if your taller. The rear seating give off terrible noise. I feel this is in the rear door design. This is a another BIG problem area. The rear doors have the edge come into the tire wall opening. In doing this there is a rubber seal. BUT, the door is a different shape then the wheel wall on the main body.Here is a simple test to prove my point!! If you take your finger, place it at the bottom edge of the rear doors on either side of the inside of the wheel wall. START at the bottom. You can even look inside the bottom wheel wall and see the edge of the door is farther away from the main body then when you move up approx 15 inches. This is the problem. MUD-Dirt-RAIN-SNOW-ICE all can get by the seal and enter the door opening area. Yes Toyota has another seal on the inside so the elements do not come in vehicle. But the inside of your door fills with dirt. Have fun cleaning that out.And worst is the dirt stays on wheel curve inside of door and your cloths get dirt on them when you get in back seat. Light color clothes and dirt don't mix. The other issue is when the dirt gets on the seal edge. The seal is broken. WHEEL NOISE is generated to the back seat area and travels up the door making it hard to hear. Also the seal will break down from elements!!You need to sit in back and have someone else drive and you will hear this. Noise and insulation is a issue Toyota is leaving out of there SUV'S. Even the Highlander has terrible floor noise. Drive one of those in wet snow and try to hear someone talk. So I quess I feel the Quality of Toyota is going down hill. All the American car makers need to do is make a quiet smooth riding vehicle again and their sales would go up.Even Toyota cars are not rating 5's anymore. So I ask to prove me wrong!!

Davis Auto's add on ebay was very accurate on the 4Runner. Todd was very helpful in answering my questions and making sure I was pleased with the vehicle. However, they could have been a little quicker at getting me the title but they were very apologetic. I would do business with Davis Auto Sales again.

Fully loaded Limited has eveything a Lexus, Jaguar or Mercedes has and more. V8 is smooth and poweful.360 watt stereo is amazing. Rather be in the car than the house. The paint job should have been better and I wish it could be easily retrofitted for Blue Tooth and ipod. Got 120,000 miles and seems brand new. Looks are growing on me too.
