Is it worth the money? 1999 SR5 with locker

If everything is legit, it sounds like a gem. Be advised, however, you need to drive ultra-defensively! If you get hit, there's no way an insurance company would give you anywhere near $10k for it.

Original poster: 5 speed? Am I not seeing the shift lights of an automatic in the shot of the instrument cluster? Why 3 cables to the throttle body? Also, the center console appears to be that of an automatic. Correct me if I'm wrong...

op said it was an auto. someone else stated it had a 5 spd for some reason but it's clearly an auto.

You can pay higher premiums if you want your car valued higher.

It's an AUTOMATIC.
 
I always have a mechanic check out used vehicles prior to purchase. Dealers have been notorious for omitting important details on the condition of the car. A certified Toyota mechanic would be able to tell you pretty quickly if the mileage is accurate. May be too late though...
If the mileage is true, this is a great find!
 
As a friendly suggestion... It's kinda rare to see something with such low miles... Check the gauge cluster to make sure it wasn't swapped or tampered with.
 
It's pretty strange that the dealer has a 2wd 4runner with 2.5x the miles for only 1 grand less than this one. Is this a case of Texans being ass backwards or is there something fishy about the green one?

The car fax shows it being registered every 2 years since purchase with the mileage all matching up. I suppose the gauge cluster could have been swapped, but its literally "like new."
