They were very easy to work with but I didn’t see the
They were very easy to work with but I didn’t see the flaws in the paint in the photos online. However I love the car even though it is a bit beat up. It is a 2014 after all.
10ft tall and bulletproof
252K been through the years, the least expensive car I ever owned; 3 timing belts, 1 water pump bc of the mechanic recommended but not failed, a set of valve cover gaskets, tires, fluids, 1 light bulb and 1 set of brake pads

Brandon was great!
Brandon was great! I was buying a car for my oldest son, Inlive in AZ, my son lives in IN, and the car was in Michigan. Brandon was ultra helpful, I requested that he Facetime time me so I could inspect the vehicle inside and out. Then, Inasked that he start the car & drive it for me as well! He didn’t even hesitate at my requests, just service with a smile. Thus all occurred in the late evening just before the dealership closed and Incalled to purchase the vehicle the next morning! Lastly, I needed to ship the vehicle to Indiana and Brandon connected me with Runner Runner Transport. Long story short, the car was delivered to my son within 48 hours, without incident, and HE LOVES THE CAR!!
20+ years old and love it
This is my 2nd 4Runner. And after buying a 2000 several years ago, I did not hesitate to pick up an even older 1996. These things are tanks that keep on going, are easy to find parts for, and great for my teenage drivers to see out of and maneuver.
