Looking for another vehicle

What does everybody think about this 4Runner? Good deal? Any known problems?

It's a 1998 Toyota 4Runner, V6, leather, AC and heater both work, 2wd, sun roof, 205,000 miles. He says the paint on the roof and hood are fading. The guy is asking $4,100 OBO (says $4,700 on it tho). I haven't seen it in person yet, but I'm thinking if I like it and everything I can talk him down to ($3,500). What would you pay for it and is this year model a good one?

 

bump

 

Maybe I should have used a better title

 

Looks ok in the pictures. The price seems ok. I'd try to talk him down a bit like you said.


Go look at it and see for yourself.




If I were you I'd get a 4x4 4Runner though.

 

Yea, I checked out your build. Looks pretty sick. Even tho the one I'm looking at is 2wd, I will still eventually put 3" on it.

 

Looks fine to me, but just fully check it out. Look over this thread for some key items to look at. Honestly go for a 4x4 unless you don't need the 4x4. I see your Taco was a prerunner so maybe 4wd is not necessary.

 

4wd is more a want then need. And the prices around here for a 4wd is an arm and a leg (guess that goes for about anywhere). But I figure if I can go a little longer without 4wd, then I can get whatever I want after I graduate college. Plus we got screwed on our deer hunting lease this year so I won't be in the woods as much. I'll mainly just be duck hunting and towing the boat.

 

Damn the way Toyotas are priced in the South makes me want to buy a ticket and get a steal down there.
