[quote=paramount][quote=bearishgurl] I remember this because I had been considering buying a decent (used) 4WD 4-Runner for several years and they are very scarce (for good reason). [/quote]
They’re not really scarce, although they should be in so cal since 99% of drivers in so cal will never need or even use 4wd. It’s a waste of money.[/quote]
paramount, for a period of a few months, I kept tabs on several websites (autotrader, etc) on 4WD 4-Runner ads and they were far and few between. And the ones which DID appear were sold before I called on them. I had my parameters set on 100 miles from my home (incl Temecula and the bulk of the OC). No luck. Even the 4-Runners with an excess of 200K miles on the odometer sold very quickly.
And the current year doesn’t seem to be stocked very well in the local Toyota dealers … at least in SD County. More likely, the customer who really wants a specific one will have to order it.
There is a REASON for all of this and that reason is that the current (4WD) 4-Runner owners are NOT selling.
