I used to owned a 2002 Sport Edition 4WD in Thundercloud metallic for 8 years and trouble free (a set of tires at 56k, a battery at 62k because I let the interior lights on for a week, and front brake pads). Gas mileage is nothing to talk about and that is the reason I sold it since it has 4-speed auto. Mine looks EXACTLY like this one below.

Even with 210k miles I would buy it for $3500. You can buy new leather seat covers to fix these seats.

 

Speaking of that great bodystyle 4Runner...

This Limited '02 is a low mileage creampuff but the $19K asking price...whew!
