1997 4Runner SR5 4X4 Automatic 3.4L V6

This vehicle belonged to my mother. She was the second owner and took possession of it in 1998. It was her daily driver until 2022.

It has a clean Colorado Title and has passed the CO CARB emission test just recently (document can be used to register in Colorado).

I’ve reconditioned this vehicle as I have done with severalothers in the past. This is a very clean 4Runner.

Videos (below) are available to show you as much detail as Icould think a remote buyer would like to see.

KNOWN ISSUES

UPDATE:

· A CARFAX report (different from the Auto-Check report provided by eBay) showed a claim of minor damage to the exterior (top, front, left, and right sides), that appears to be from hail damage reported. I was able to locate a body shop estimate for hail damage in a few of the records that I could find, and I will make that available for interested buyers. I didn't find a receipt showing work done, but the vehicle does not appear to reflect the condition described in the estimate. I was able to find a total of 5 small dents on the roof and 2 on the hood. A couple of them appear to be caused by something other than hail. I hope this video helps show this issue.

· Factory Radio will not play a CD. It simply ejects the disc.

· Surface Rust on the inside of the rear bumper.

· Rear left corner of the rear bumper has a couple places wherethe chrome plating has come off.

· Front of the hood surface has several rock chips.

· A few scuffs and scrapes in the interior plastic (shown inthe video).

· Small rock chips and scratches on the exterior as might beexpected for a used vehicle (shown in the video).
