seems like an ok deal to me..i picked up the '92 in my sig for $1250..but i gotta rebuild it..shouldn't cost but about $700-$900....so im gonna say roughly $2000...for a 4runner that is worth an easy $4000-$5000 in my area..its in amazing condition other than that..lol

Compare with other trucks in similar condition on CL, that's the only way to tell. A truck here in Vancouver, Canada, is worth almost twice as much as an identical truck 100 miles to the South in Seattle.

For Georgia I would say 3K is pretty steep. Unless 2nd gen 4Runners with the 3.0 are hard to find or something. I personally would not pay that much for a 3.0 4Runner with 245K miles on it but I am just not a fan of the 3.0 because it is a gas hog and chews up head gaskets. That's just my opinion though after owning 3 of them in my life.
245K miles is alot of miles Toyota or not. But Toyota's reputation for reliability was built on the 22r series motor not the relatively short-lived 3VZE (which was only produced from 88-95)
I would think closer to 2K would be a better deal but I would still be hesitant. I would think you could find a much better deal on a 4Runner or truck of that particular vintage in Georgia. Where they really command a high price is out west and in Canada.
