Buying the 2004 Toyota 4Runner
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2004 Toyota 4Runner for sale by us right now. Here is what to know about the 2004 Toyota 4Runner before buying one.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Reading the spec sheet
It is powered by the 4.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
At 13.1 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 39 litres of fuel. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $203.10. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Who the 4Runner suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
A longer test drive
Rent the 4Runner for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the 4Runner on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Make a request
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
Rent it for a week before you buy
