WTD: 05 V6 4Runner

[Cruiserhead]

Some friends in the bay area are looking for a SR5 or SE V6 4Runner 4x4 w/ 3rd row seats and full airbags. If you know of one or some leads to search, post up and I will forward to them. Thanks!

b/c of 3rd row requirement, that means 2005 or newer I believe.

3rd row was introduced in '04.

I just bought a 2005 SR5 with 3rd row seats in San Jose from Hertz about three weeks ago. Had 24k miles. Paid $22k for it. Here in Denver, I couldn't touch them for less than $26k, so worth the flight and drive back - Its in great condition & I'm really happy with it. My Denver area auto broker couldn't find a better deal. Also, Hertz sells with a 12 month/12k mile bumper to bumper warranty so some peace of mind in buying a retired rental car. But at 13 mos old and 24k miles and it being a Toyota, I had no hesitation.

Watch www.autotrader.com, and search nationwide. This is where Hertz posted its 4Runners for sale.

From what I remember in my research, the 2004 had 3rd row seats as an option but I can't remember ever seeing one for sale. Also, join carfax.com to run VIN numbers for cars you are considering. It eliminated three vehicles for me due to accidents. Its money well spent.
