Information about it. What kind of maintenance has it had. How much rust, what parts have been replaced, how was it driven, any obvious jimmy rigging? Its not uncommon for a 4Runner any toyota really to have that kind of miles.

Agree that a lot more information is needed although if you're planning on buying a 2002 w/ 200k miles for $10,000, I'd say pass.

^definantly pass on that, I just got a 4x4 with 140k for only 6k. There's alot of good runners out there with less than 150k for around 8k.

I'd have to agree with the other guys, price is a little high for the mileage. I just picked up an 00' for 6k and only 180k with full maintenance history. There are a lot of runners out there and if you can buy a little time you can find some steals. good luck with the search!
Cheers,
-Mike

you'd have to check everythign from carfax to the condition its in and all...but just from hearing 200k miles and 10k in price...i'd pass
better deals around here..and thats not even a deal. maybe 6-7k for something like that
