Car financing: the 2001 Toyota 4Runner
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2001 Toyota 4Runner for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. The 2001 Toyota 4Runner for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
The powertrain here is the 3.4L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Fuel use is rated 13.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 41 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $21.39 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Size and space
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the 4Runner is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Drive the 4Runner on your commute before you commit to it.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $213.90 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.39 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
