1996 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 4x4. The owner of this vehicle brought it to our local Toyota dealership for "running rough". It was diagnosed by the Toyota mechanic having a bad head gasket. The owner authorized the Toyota dealership to do the work, and then later on while the heads were being sent out to be resurfaced, she decided to buy a new Toyota and trade the 4runner in on her purchase. The dealership decided not to replace the head gasket and received the heads back and stored them in the rear of the vehicle. ALL of the engine components are present. This was done by a certified Toyota technician. Everything else was working well before the "running rough" issue happened. Basically, you will need to resurface the heads, and replace the head gasket. All of the parts are stored in the rear of the 4runner, or buy yourself a used/remanufactured engine and drop it in. The vehicle is still at the Toyota dealership and will need to be picked it from there via tow truck. This vehicle has original paint and all original body panels. The paint is oxidized on the hood and the roof of vehicle. The body is excellent and the tires are good. The interior is good with wear on the lower drivers seat. (see pics for details). The CarFax and AutoCheck are clean with NO accidents, nor discrepancies.
