Today we bring you a very clean-looking 1999 Toyota 4Runner SR5.

It's a four-cylinder automatic with two-wheel drive. It has apparently been owned by the same person since 2001 and well-maintained.

New parts include new spark plugs, new distributor cap and rotor, new spark plug wires, new tires, new master cylinder, and new valve cover gasket.

According to seller, the vehicle runs and drives well and the only thing that doesn't work is the digital clock.

It appears this truck has never been in an accident, and the only damage appears to be rock chips and that sort of exterior wear and tear.

Check out this Texas-based truck here.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I just read an article on another site about the 2001-2007 Sequoia and it's million mile capability as a Toyota truck for relatively cheap providing it has a solid frame and you do your own repair work . I was thinking the same thing about a Honda Element on a much smaller scale of course .

I had a v6 3rd gen 4runner. Head gasket blew at less than 100k miles. Rust was starting and I live in a desert. Everyone keeps telling me how reliable it was.

Master Baiter I thought we wanted high oil prices to reduce consumption, to save the planet from climate change. Make up your minds, Democrats.
Teddyc73 Oh look dull grey with black wheels. How original.
Teddyc73 "Matte paint looks good on this car." No it doesn't. It doesn't look good on any car. From the Nissan Versa I rented all the up to this monstrosity. This paint trend needs to die before out roads are awash with grey vehicles with black wheels. Why are people such lemmings lacking in individuality? Come on people, embrace color.
Flashindapan Will I miss the Malibu, no. Will I miss one less midsize sedan that’s comfortable, reliable and reasonably priced, yes.
Theflyersfan I used to love the 7-series. One of those aspirational luxury cars. And then I parked right next to one of the new ones just over the weekend. And that love went away. Honestly, if this is what the Chinese market thinks is luxury, let them have it. Because, and I'll be reserved here, this is one butt-ugly, mutha f'n, unholy trainwreck of a design. There has to be an excellent car under all of the grotesque and overdone bodywork. What were they thinking? Luxury is a feeling. It's the soft leather seats. It's the solid door thunk. It's groundbreaking engineering (that hopefully holds up.) It's a presence that oozes "I have arrived," not screaming "LOOK AT ME EVERYONE!!!" The latter is the yahoo who just won $1,000,000 off of a scratch-off and blows it on extra chrome and a dozen light bars on a new F150. It isn't six feet of screens, a dozen suspension settings that don't feel right, and no steering feel. It also isn't a design that is going to be so dated looking in five years that no one is going to want to touch it. Didn't BMW learn anything from the Bangle-butt backlash of 2002?
