Go check it out and have it checked out. See if all maintainance has been done. Not much info in the ad. If you are worried about the motor then find one with less miles.

mileage is maaybe a bit over average. my 98 has got just over 160 and my friends 00 has just under 175. so its average...and you know toyotas. they go on forever...

and for those that didnt do the conversion. yes its about 111000 miles and $8700 USD. sounds pretty average if not a decent price to me...

id hit it

an ok deal, you might want to hold out for one with the rear diff lock, that will end up costing you quite a bit to add on later.

I don't do any hardcore offroading so i'm not going to favour a 4runner with an e-locker over one without one.

Anyways i found another one, BLack on tan, automatic, 2000, 56000 miles, tinted windows, rain guards, NO RUST.....thing is the rear bumper is dented and the guy claims it was just backed into a corner. However i noticed that the right side of the hatch where it runs beside the tailight has a gap bigger then the left side. Possible tweakage or rear end collision?? perhaps. Also i noticed that the rear shocks are a bit bouncy. I've never owned a vehicle with leaf springs before but are they supposed to be soft?? if i pushed down on the rear bumper the leafs would compress, rebound up, compress down, rebound up again and then settle.....too much IMO but what do i know?? oh and it's going for $16700 USD.

Sounds a little high to me on that second one. If the first is still for sale, I would be all over that if I had the money.
