2nd 4Runner, Just Picked up a 2012 Limited!

My 3rd Gen has sadly passed, but i've reupped with a 5th gen Limited. I'm stoked about the full time four wheel drive(AWD, whatever it's called.) The only thing i'm bummed about is no stick. But i'm super stoked to be here and have a new, very sweet ride! Thanks for having me!

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

My sincerest condolences in the passing of your 3rd Gen (in my opinion still the best looking and, overall coolest generation), but congratulate you on your new (to you) bundle of joy.

 

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the warm welcome. I'm still secretly keeping my eyes open for another manual 3rd Gen!

 

I hate to tell ya, but I think we, my lovely wife and I that is, got the last manual trans 3rd gen 4Runner. Reasonably priced, anyway. Payed $5,000 for it. Plus an $1,100 charge to ship it down here from Denver. We couldn't have flown up there and driven it home for that much, so it was a good deal.
Believe it or not, my lovely wife is 57, I'm 60, and this is the first vehicle we have ever bought from a dealer. Heck, the last vehicle we bought was our 87 4Runner, back in 97. Until then, the only one I had ever bought from a dealer was my 87 pickup, way back in 88. Been a long, long time.

Anywho, sorry, we got it first. Neener

Just kidding. I wish you good luck.

$5000???? I didn't know they let criminals on these message boards!!! I'd actually be pretty stoked about a 1st gen too. I love these rigs

 

Congratulations on the new purchase and sorry for the loss of the of your other ride
