I seek your collective wisdom...
I found this smooth-running, smooth-shifting, impeccable, and seemingly-well-taken-care-of 2006 4Runner Limited V8 4wd. The catch, it needs tires (in the next year or so) and it has almost 264,000 miles on it. I haven't taken it to a shop to investigate yet, but that is my next step.
I tried to find a problem with this thing (other than mileage), but I couldn't. No exhaust leaks, nearly rust free, good brakes, solid suspension, tight front end, smoke-free exhaust, clean title, no smells, everything works. Well, not true, the headroom leaves one to desire more, but eh.
I don't, currently, commute, I work from home; so I won't be adding many miles.
I am replacing a 00 Grand Cherokee Laredo (116k mi), with death wobble that I nor a Jeep shop could cure, even with a basically new front-end suspension.
Ok, shoot...

If the timing belt has been done recently, you don't have anything to worry about. If it has not, then factor having that done or doing it yourself into the price.
Otherwise, 264k miles on that engine is nothing. The 2UZ V8 engine is proven to go 1 million miles in some old Tundra that Toyota bought back from the owner. I recently bought my 2003 Limited V8 with 280k miles on it. If it runs good and you like it and the price is right, buy it!
