If you like to work on things then have at it. If you want something to drive another 5 years with minimal hassle then get something with lower mile in my opinion.

Thanks for the post! I appreciate that link. Maybe he just got really unlucky? I will wait to hear from some more people about their issues.
I would LOVE to buy a lower mile 4Runner but I am paying cash (I HATE the idea of having a monthly payment, never have had one before) so I need to stick within a certain budget, which a lower mile 4runner is not an option. I've looked at other SUVs but nothing really compares to the features and reliability (and looks!) of the 4th generation 4Runner.
