So, I came across a '97 Toyota 4Runner Limited, Automatic, with 220k on it. They are asking $3500, and he has an offer for $2800. My question is it worth the $3500? I drove t about 50 miles today with out any issues, everything worked fine on it. There is some rust, in different areas of the body. I am pretty sure it is a small enough amount that it could taken care of with tin-snips and bondo. Parts of the frame have rust scaling off of it, but it is less than I would expect on a vehicle this old. The belt was just changed last year. I will have to replace the tires by next Fall/Winter. Around the heads, on top, it looks like there may be some oil. He says it does not use any oil though. It also needs a brake job, they are pretty mushy till you get any real good stopping.
Should I pull the trigger on this rig or let it go. The GF already says its a bad idea, but it is my money. I would use it as a DD, which includes 6 hrs of highway time most weekends, and for hunting.
Thanks in advance.
