I paid $2400 three years ago for a 4Runner with 148k on it, 5 speed, 22RE. The interior is close to perfect. It had a lot of body rust which is why I was encouraging you to at least stop any further rust before winter hits.

Here goes your afternoon. Read this thread. It's a classic, Cheap Mods:

I've done a few things to it since I got it, but I could probably turn around and sell it for $6000 now. there was one ad I saw on craigslist when shopping for this one. It was an 89 or 90 extended cab SR5 with the 22re and 5 speed. It was all stock with the paperwork to show all the work that had been done. It was the original owner selling it and it had somewhere around 90k miles on it. It was NICE. I made an offer and the guy laughed at me and said he had already turned down an offer of just over $9000 the day before. Needless to say I had to let that one go.
