lookin at a 91 4runner, need imput

i talked to the seller, he says it needs an entirely new exhaust, and it slips in 1st and 2nd gear sometimes.

i will try to lower the cost and then get a new exhaust installed there, and suggestions? i was maybe thinking flowmaster. and it has 201k miles


also what do you think about the 4runner, btw its replacing a chrystler minivan

 

anything to replace a chrysler!

 

With transmission issues and other work that needs to be done I would keep looking.

 

how bout this one?

its closer too

 

I would stay away from the P.O.S 3.0 liter that came in those 4runners

 

The 2nd one looks like a better deal than the 1st. The 3.0 is a dog compared to the 3.4. There are head gasket issues with the 3.0 and a steering relay rod recall. If there are any transmission issues, I would keep looking. The rear springs are notorious for sagging. Make sure major maintenance like waterpump and timing belt have been done.

 

Any special reason for a 4 runner? You can probably score a good deal on a Corolla or if you need a little more room a Camry....

 

mom is sellin her van and giving me the money to buy a new, old car. im lookin for something with 4wd so i can lift it and put nice tires and kick a whheel in it. i wanted toyota but found an 88 chevy truck i like. unfortunately the buyer of the van still hasnt payed us so we are waiting on the transaction to finish up (buyer is waiting for tax returns to come, he mailed his in day b4 yesterday, sigh)

 

im with him, u could find a decent car, that gets decent gas milage for alot less then that!
