I'm about to pull the trigger on a 93 4Runner w/ 150K miles on her.

The body and interior look great, however, the corners of the rear bumper are bondo/sanded over. I looked under the vehicle and I see no rewelds or bondo(bodywork). KBB says it's worth 4.8K and I got this guy to agree to 3.2K for her. He says it's never been in a major accident...should I walk away?
Or, is this a good buy?

 

hey vtec!

i picked up my 93 back in the spring, it had 120k on it. i talked with the po but he didnt give up much info on the rig. it runs great, nice and clean in and out but needs some work on the usual spots that rust shows up in the salt belt. if you can, take it to a mech you trust and have him do a compression test and check it over. if he thinks its in pretty good shape, you got a pretty good deal there!

Thanks leebee...I'll have my mechanic check her out tomorrow.

 

As with any 2nd gen, check to see if the headgasket recall was done. Also, take a magnet to the body to check for bondo.

Are you still in the Marines?

 

good thought, you can call toyotas 800 #, give them your vin and they should be able to tell you if that has been done. sorry, i cant find that # to save my life right now, someone will post it up for you.
