1988 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America
"Fun and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New timing belt, wheel bearings, manual hubs, clutch, distributor, water-pump, rotors, valve cover gaskets, accessory belts, sun-roof (hail damage), muffler, shocks, brakes, oxygen sensor, and fuel filter.
All this for a grand total of $3500 in parts and labor. Add that to the original cost of the car when I bought it and you have $9400.
General comments?
I like the fact that I can take the removable cover top off. It's more reliable than a Jeep. This machine handles very well on the beach in 4x4!
