Thinking of purchasing 4-cylinder 1997 4runner....?? How reliable is the 4-cyl engine...?? From my understanding it is a 16-valve version of the 22-r.
Now I know some people have said the 4 cylinder is a bit underpowered. So is there any mecnanical problems with the 4 cyclinder engine. Now I would assume that since it is a manual transmission that this would negate the transmission problems...
Vehicle value: The engine has 127,000 miles and is a automatic transmission. The kelly blue book lists the value at $4,900 for private party purchase. The windshield has a small crack at the bottom. The Autotrader lists similar vehicles for around $6,700-7000
