    Hello everyone.
    I'm new to the forum, but have been a 4runner owner for 15 years, and still enjoy driving mine every day! 190K miles later, I have lot's of family memories with this vehicle. Easily the best vehicle I've ever owned.

    Mine is the SR5 V8 with full-time 4WD, moon roof, rear spoiler, tow package, and premium sound. No rust or accidents (thank goodness). Runs perfectly.

    I've been tempted of late to trade her in on a 2018 4runner Limited. The dealer will give me $4,500 for my '03, so $40K total out the door with mine in trade.

    I believe my '03 has a lot of life left in her, but the 2018 Limiteds are real sweet.

    Would be interested in your opinions...should I keep the '03 or trade for the 2018 Limited?

    Thanks!

    I would think you could do a lot better selling your 03 privately. I sold my 02 with 140,000 miles on it for 7k and got a 2017 SR5 P. I like the new one, but kinda miss the old one also. And welcome to the forum.

    You could definitely sell the O3 for more than what the dealer is offering you. Shit, $8k-$9k and use the hard cash for the down payment
