I finally got a new vehicle...

As some of you may know, I had to sell my beloved Vanagon (seen on the right side of my profile being violated by a dragon) due to ongoing maintenance issues.

I didn't want to replace it with just any old car, of which I looked at many, so I took my time in selecting exactly what I wanted.

I dated a girl about 7 years ago that had a Toyota 4Runner, and the best thing that came out of that relationship was my love of her truck. I've longed for one ever since, but they were always out of my price range until now. The time was right, the car was right, and the seller was willing to bargain.

So, here is my new (to me) 1995 Toyota 4Runner:

Not perfect, but perfect for me!

good for you :D

goldensara on Jul 21 '08 at 3:10pm

it looks pretty good for its age.

I just sold my car this past sunday, 1995 nissan maxima

But, but the windows are see-through. And it can be opened from the inside. You sure this will work for you?

pyr4lis on Jul 21 '08 at 3:11pm

oooh neat. i love toyotas. :) i'm a corolla girl myself but any toyota is good in my book!

professorE on Jul 21 '08 at 3:16pm

Lori - My sister and brother-in-law have a Corolla and a Prius (both 2007s) and my other sister has an older Camry. Great cars, all.

Hector - I have spare window tint from my sign shop days and I am already disabling the door handles. Problem solved!

Sara - What are you getting next? I fully endorse craigslist as a source for finding it.

DaddyDom on Jul 21 '08 at 3:24pm

dude.....i'm not trying to be a dick here, but, is there any way that you can return that thing?

shirtflirt on Jul 21 '08 at 3:25pm

rooooomy

marblecargirl on Jul 21 '08 at 3:25pm

meanie dom, haha

congrats dude! yay for wheels!

DaddyDom on Jul 21 '08 at 3:27pm

nooo..I'm not trying to be mean, I'm trying to help. seriously.

professorE on Jul 21 '08 at 3:29pm

Dom - Yeah, the guy was so nice he threw in a way back machine at no charge. I just have to set it for around 2:30 last Saturday and tell him I was only joking about wanting the truck.

goldensara on Jul 21 '08 at 3:32pm

I'm not getting another car for a while, although my nissan was kickass, (its windows came fully tinted FBI style) it broke down all the damn time. Over the 2 years I had it I had to replace the radiator, battery, axles, etc. It wasn't worth the hassle but I think its new owner is lucky to have everything fixed for him, LOL.

DaddyDom on Jul 21 '08 at 3:32pm

some states have cooling off periods. I don't know where you are, so I don't know if yours does. Check the VIN and the manufacture date on it, then check on the internetz and see if it falls within the recall dates for head gasket issues. I had one if these. 2 blown headgaskets. Heaps of $$ out the window. No help or coverage from Toyota. It's a relatively widespread problem. I urge you to do the research on it.

pyr4lis on Jul 21 '08 at 3:33pm

heheh yeah i'm definately going hybrid next time i need to buy a car. lol but knowing toyotas unless someone steals it or smashes it beyond repair i should get a good 200k + in mileage.

i love the forest green color of your truck btw. :)

goldensara on Jul 21 '08 at 3:33pm

It also had leather interior and DVD player :\

Oh well.

professorE on Jul 21 '08 at 3:34pm

HOLY SHIT!!! I just realized that now that I have reliable transport, I might be able to make it to a meet-up if it's within driving distance!

professorE on Jul 21 '08 at 3:42pm

Dom - I'll check on the head gasket issue. Mine has 183,xxx miles and no problems yet as far as Brian knows (he was the second owner). I have to go outside and look up the VIN.

maddingo on Jul 21 '08 at 3:43pm

WAY TO JUMP ON THE SUV BANDWAGON! ..... RIGHT AS THE WAGON HAS FALLEN OVER AND CAUGHT FIRE =p

as long as you realize the resale value is probably going to be nil given the new realities of gas prices (although in fairness from what I remember of driving my vanagon that milage maybe pretty similar between the 4runner and a vanagon??)

I love 4runners also... in fact I really (god help me) like especially smaller reasonably off road capable SUVs in general, they are great for some things.

DaddyDom on Jul 21 '08 at 3:44pm

I hope it's all good, man. It's just, when I saw it...and the year...seriously got me a little sick to the stomach. And i LOVE 4Runners. I've had 2.

professorE on Jul 21 '08 at 3:51pm

Dom - Thanks for the heads up. I've just read through some forums on the subject and feel confident in mine, but I'll still look up the VIN.

maddingo - Yeah, I'm getting a little better mileage than the Vanagon, and have louder speakers and A/C to boot! Also, I only paid $2300, so I'm just gonna drive this until it dies, then put a new motor in it and drive it some more...

maddingo on Jul 21 '08 at 4:07pm

for $2300 as long as the frame aint all rusty (i assume you checked?) or bent =p

good deal should be fun for $2K worst comes to worse you could find out how to replace a head gasket =p from what dom was on about.

DaddyDom on Jul 21 '08 at 4:08pm

$2300? oh, no worries then. drive that bitch into the ground!

professorE on Jul 21 '08 at 4:13pm

Dom - I'm looking and found nothing so far, but I'll soldier on.

maddingo - Only rust is a finger-sized patch over the driver's side front fender, and all the body lines/gaps are consistent. That top picture looks as if it's dented, but it's an errant shadow. I crawled under it and all looks as it should for a vehicle of this age.

TexasGal on Jul 21 '08 at 4:34pm

Those are wonderful vehicles

professorE on Jul 21 '08 at 10:30pm

Fresh from a drive exhaust ticking bump.

Steve The Great on Jul 21 '08 at 10:35pm

it's not a segway.

it sucks that it's not a segway, I think you got the wrong thing.

professorE on Jul 21 '08 at 10:37pm

I actually met Dean Kamen at a robot convention once. I'll have to dig up the pic sometime. It's on my other computer...

Sarcasticatbest on Jul 21 '08 at 10:38pm

Hey Ethan. My mother has had three 4 runners, all have been fine gasket wise. All I can say is you'll be selling limbs for gas. My mothers suv's suck up the gas. Also yours looks fairly low and I don't know where you live, but watch for ice. My dad rolled my mother's '95.

Steve The Great on Jul 21 '08 at 10:39pm

also

lol @ 4Runners

d3d on Jul 21 '08 at 10:40pm

sensible choice, what with fuel prices these days

professorE on Jul 21 '08 at 10:41pm

Wow. I live in Greensboro, NC, so we get ice like every 5 years or so. Also, I've been picking up hitch-hikers, and with the help of the solutions I layed out for Hector (above) extra limbs should be no problem.

Sarcasticatbest on Jul 21 '08 at 10:47pm

Any you have a roof rack so w/ the help of a tarp you're new to you seats won't get caked w/ blood.

Sarcasticatbest on Jul 21 '08 at 10:47pm

any = and

professorE on Jul 21 '08 at 10:49pm

Actually a little splatter of claret will accent the beige tweed...

Sarcasticatbest on Jul 21 '08 at 10:50pm

My mom's is green n beige, that's a tad creepy. Maybe when I go home I'll find pics of all 3 of hers, the 95 one might be a smashed up pic tho, lol. Actually it looks pretty decent for rolling n such.

YAY Prof! Hopefully Singe will enjoy lazily napping in the sun on your new digs and protecting penthouse ready damsels trying to be rescued by clumisy metrosexually-armored knights.
