I posted this in GD but it dropped off of the front page in seconds....maybe I should put it in the right place....

1995 Toyota 4Runner V6 Limited, 102k miles.

Good shape. About what you'd expect from a vehicle with 102k.

Seller is motivated

How much you think it's worth?

id guess around 5K in good condition.

if you go over it and test drive it you can go from there

is it automatic? Not their greatest transmissive effort...
You will want to pay special attention to that V6 head gasket, too.

But still, IMHO, a 95 Toy is the last great domestic year for affordablity/bulletproof-ness
(Cruisers notwithstanding...)

+1 on the 5k price

A Toy at 102K is getting warmed up!

His price is now $4500 (he wanted 5500 last week, but is sick of dealing w/ callers)

I'm getting a pre-purchase inspection at the toyota dealership tomorrow. Good use of $115 before spending $4500

I drove it last week...seemed a little sluggish in the lower RPMs....I have a 4cyl Camry that seems more responsive.

The only "problem" was a tear on the seam of the driver's seat. BFD.

AC was cold (like every toyota)

Shifting was good

I sold my '95 with 150K miles for $6K.  A couple things...Toyota recently issued a recall for 95 4Runners...Something in the front end?  Also, when I sold mine, it had lost a LOT of compression and had problems with any substantial hill.  Something to think about...

good to know....did you ever diagnose the compression issue?

No, but I suspect it had to do with the head design.  There was a recall a number of years back and it had to do with the heads and head gaskets....quite a bit of work involved.

Here's a link to the recalls and TSB's issued for '95 4Runners with 4x4 and the V6:

ETA: Not sure how up to date this is, since they don't show the most current recall notice (08/05).
