This is replacing my '93 that is/has rusted apart. Needs 3 doors, rear quarters & rear frame cross members are getting bad.

I'm looking at a '96 4Runner SR5 4wd, 3.4 w/140,000 on it. Trying to get maintanence records, as of now....no maintenance history. Super clean inside & out, surface rust on rear axle & diff, otherwide clean underneath. I beat the dealer down to $7500, the truck need tires & the 3 disc changer does not work.

Fair price or not???

I've been in the market for 4runner's recently and have been checking a lot out. That seems like a decent price - not a steal, but not outrageous either. Have you checked Kelly Blue Book? (kbb.com) or NADA - (nada.com?) That will give you a rough idea depending on interior quality, etc. Carfax or similar will tell you about any accidents, etc. Perhaps you know all this already...

One thing I would check on - timing belt replacement. Not a big deal, but would cost you some $$ that would otherwise be spent on bigger tires or the like!! I suppose without a maintenence history, it's hard to know. Perhaps a qualified mechanic (3rd party) could tell you.

Anyway, good luck!
