Last spring I picked up a 1999 Toyota 4runner SR5 (4x4) with a bunch of mods (lift, wheels, 33" tires, sliders, etc) for a pretty solid deal (needed a bit of work, which I was able to do myself). Since then, I've done some extra stuff (injectors, 1.25" wheel spacers, some tranny/torque converter work, etc).
Said 4runner:
I love my truck and, for the most part, think it's absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, I've also realized that I live far enough away from civilization that I spend most of my time driving on the highway (2hrs to Calgary, over three to the mountains) instead of actually having fun with it. Having a 18.5g tank and getting 15-16mpg on the highway does not make it particularly economical...
The practical side of me is thinking I'm probably going to try and sell it in the next couple of months and replace it with a car. Should I? If I do, I'm thinking of replacing it with one of these options (depending on availability and price). Ideally it will be a manual, but would make an exception for an Allroad or XC70:
Audi A4
Audi Allroad
BMW 3---
Volvo XC70
Volvo S60
VW Rabbit
Audi/VW is great because my brother is an Audi guy and does his own work and would definitely be a huge asset. I had a Volvo before the 4runner and would definitely get one again. Anyone with BMW experience?
Thoughts? Should I even sell the 4runner? Recommendations? Should I consider something else?
