I am doing something I have sworn I would never do; Sell my 4Runner. Over the weekend my wife and I were looking for a toy at the Steelership when she noticed a used D90. To my surprise she fell in love with the machine. It did not surprise me that see really like the D90 but I was surprised that I was willing to part with my very off road worthy 4Runnner..... Long story short..... I am now actively seeking a D90. I am hoping you all can direct me to a website, place or person willing to depart with their D90. I have been stalking eBay and a few other places under the impression that I would get a better deal from a private sale. I am reluctant/willing to pursue a reputable D90 dealer. Here is what I am looking for.
Year: 1997 D90
Color: Red, Yellow
Mileage: under 50,000
Mods: limited. The closer to OEM the better, Hard and soft top included in the sale
Location: Anywhere in CONUS, I am willing to pay for the shipping
have you looked in the forum vehicles for sale on this website. I have a 97 Red d-90 for sale with 57,000 miles. You WILL NOT find a better truck and it is one of less than 100 red 97 d-90's out there.
It's located at the New Jag/Range Rover Steeler, Chantilly Auto Park. Just off Rte 50.
Some lady from Middleburg traded the D90 in last week. It appears the D90 spent some serious time outside in Nantucket (off-road State park stickers on bumper). The frame is showing some serious rust, Paint is oxidized and the interior looks like at has not been cleaned in years. Bottom-line: The D90 was neglected. The dealer is looking to sell it for over 50,000. I guess someone will jump on it with only 8,000 miles on it...
Has the dealer been hanging out with former Mayor Marion Barry? $50k for a neglected 8 year old truck. 8,000 mi or not... you have to think the truck has probably only had 2-3 oil changes in the last 8 years. I would rather buy a truck with miles and service records than some "sounds good on paper" low milage neglected truck.
Huh must be tucked away some place out of sight. I drove by yestersday on my way to the ford dealer. I should go see what they'll give me for my maintained yet used hard 90. :grin

You really need to research your low mileage truck prior to purchase. I bought a 97 with minimal miles on it - under 2k 4 years ago. Needed a lot of gaskets and seals replaced because it sat. Took better half of two years sorting it out. The entire truck is leak free now, but it was painful getting htere.
A higher mileage well maintained truck is what your looking for. Miles mean nothing. The PO migt not have changed the oil once and cheaped out on everything. But hey, it's under 50k miles and waiting for your check book.
If your really bent on getting a low mile truck, Copley has great ones but you'll pay dearly for them.
A friend of mine has a 1997 SW Alpine White for sale. 48,000 miles. Very nice, clean truck. It is posted under Vehicles for Sale on this board. Let me know if I can help.
