EXTERIOR: PAINT/CLEAR COAT HAS FADED ON HOOD AND ROOF, BUT IS IN GOOD SHAPE EVERYWHERE ELSE AS IT WAS REPAINTED BEFORE WE OWNED IT. HUNTER GREEN WITH METALLIC FLAKE. HAVE THE RUNNING BOARDS THAT GO UNDER DOORS. FRONT 2 TIRES 31X10.50 PA100 PRIMEWELL MUD TERRAIN TIRES IN HALF TREAD GOOD CONDITION. 2 REAR TIRES IN 1/4 TREAD GOOD CONDITION. NO VISIBLE RUST ANYWHERE AND UNDER BODY LOOKS REAL GOOD. HAS A COUPLE SCRATCHES IN PAINT DUE TO AGE BUT NOTHING THAT STANDS OUT BAD. OVERALL GOOD CONDITION. ALL WINDOWS IN GOOD CONDITION. NEW AFTERMARKET MUFFLER. INTERIOR: TAN, ALL POWER EVERYTHING - INCLUDING POWER REAR WINDOW, AND POWER SUNROOF THAT DOESNT LEAK INTO INTERIOR. THE FRONT SEATS HAVE A FEW RIPS/TEARS UNDER THE SEAT COVERS AND HAS A FEW STAINS IN CARPET FROM AGE. DASH HAS SEVERAL CRACKS (USUAL TOYOTA), ALL ELECTRONICS, GAUGES, ETC WORK AS THEY SHOULD. HAS ADD ON FACTORY CD PLAYER AS OPTION, WHICH RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING (UNSURE IF ITS A FUSE, OR IT JUST DIED FROM AGE, BUT WORKED GREAT BEFORE) POWER TRAIN: ENGINE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH OIL LEAKING INTO COOLANT SYSTEM. WE PURCHASED VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD IT HAD A "BLOWN HEAD GASKET" WHICH WAS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THIS ENGINE. WE THEN THREW A TON OF LABOR AND PARTS INTO IT, ONLY TO FIND OUT IT MOST LIKELY HAS A CRACKED HEAD OR CRACKED BLOCK CAUSING THE OIL LEAKING INTO COOLANT SYSTEM. WE PUT ALL NEW TOP END ENGINE GASKET KIT IN, NEW FRONT MAIN SEAL, NEW TIMING BELT, NEW WATER PUMP, CAP, ROTOR, PLUGS, WIRES, IDLE SENSOR, VAF (MAP) SENSOR, ETC THINKING THIS WOULD FIX EVERYTHING, HOWEVER AFTER A NEW FLUSH, THE PROBLEM RETURNED AFTER 1,000 MILES. THE PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD THE BLOCK BORED OVER .040 BUT WE BELIEVE THEY DIDNT GET THE HEADS AND BLOCK CHECKED BEFORE PUTTING BACK TOGETHER AS MUCH OF THE GASKETS LOOKED GOOD WHEN WE TOOK THE HEADS OFF, AND THE CYLINDERS WERE IN GREAT SHAPE WITH NOTICEABLY LOW MILES ON THE BORED OVER BLOCK. THERE IS NO COOLANT LEAKING INTO OIL, ONLY OIL LEAKING INTO COOLANT SIDE. ENGINE BLOWS NO SMOKE AT ALL, GOOD COMPRESSION & POWER, AND NO CO2 EMISSIONS IN THE COOLANT AFTER TESTING IT. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WELL NO KNOWN ISSUES WITH IT AND WORKED WELL. THE 4WD WORKS AWESOME WITH NO ISSUES, NO REAR END ISSUES - 4RUNNER RUNS LIKE A TOP EXCEPT FOR THE OIL IN COOLANT ISSUE. IF IT WOULDNT BUILD UP AND CAUSE A POTENTIAL OVERHEATING ISSUE, THIS THING WAS A GREAT DAILY DRIVER. SHIPPING/PAYMENT: LOCAL PICKUP ONLYOn Oct-22-14 at 19:15:36 PDT, seller added the following information: ::::::::::::::UPDATE: WE FLUSHED THE COOLANT SYSTEM GETTING MUCH OF THE OIL OUT. HOWEVER, THERE IS RESIDUAL STILL MIXING AND WOULD PROBABLY BUILD BACK UP EVENTUALLY. THE 4RUNNER COULD NOW BE DRIVEN WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE TO SAVE ON A "TOW BILL" IF PURCHASING LOCALLY. ALSO, I CAN ACCEPT MOST OF THE PAYMENT IN PAYPAL IF NEEDED. IT WOULD BE EASIER TO JUST USE PAYPAL FOR THE ENTIRE PURCHASE, HOWEVER, EBAY SAYS THATS A NO-NO FOR SOME REASON.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
