    hey guys I would like sone help deciding what suv to purchase I have a limited budget and I want to pay in cash.
    my first choice is the sequoia due to how cheap they seem to be, in my area 1st gens with 200k miles are between 3 and 4k ( I know the engine is American made but I see people selling them with over 300k on them one even in the 400s, they are similar to the tundra, my first choice, but wayyyyyy cheaper and my dad loves his tundras )

    second choice is the 4runner, my mom has owned one since 2005 and she never took care of it and it still manages to run decently, I like the look of them, its actually my favorite car I have ever driven but they're very expensive in my area 7k for one with 200k on it

    third choice is the rav4, the pre 2005 ones look pretty ugly, they're pretty much around the same price as the sequoias.

    here are the ones im looking at from favorite to least favorite but still can't decide
    2004 sequoia 190k miles- 4,500
    2004 4runner v8 170k miles (price seems strangely low for how long its been on the market)-5,000
    2004 4runner v8 190k miles and gets one mpg more than a sequoia- 6,000
    2002 sequoia 225k miles-3,200
    2000 4runner 190k miles (with slight body rust)- 2,000
    1999 4runner 260k miles- 2000
    2004 rav4 180k miles- 3,500

    I want something that is big enough to camp out of and the best value

    what do you guys think

    what kind of gas mileage are you looking for? a sequioa and any v8 is going to eat more gas. for camping in, i would personally avoid the rav4. 4runners are smaller and more nimble than a sequoia, yet roomy enough to camp out in. i would tend to lean for the 4runner, just my thoughts, unless you must have the extra space a sequoia would give. above all, try several vehicles out, and be willing to wait to find the exact one you want.
