Lots of great info there. Wish I would’ve read it before buying my first 4runner! (Sorry for the dumb post, trying to get my post count up)

I feel like I've been posting in this thread way too much, as I've been looking for a Runner for almost a year at this point, but I figure the worst than can happen is that I get ignored. Anyway....

I was wondering what the consensus was on these two trucks:

https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/...748901173.html

https://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto...746224999.html

Both seem way undervalued for the mileage and condition. I would imagine the dealership would have good reason to price them low. I called both numbers, no response yet. Anything I should be on the look out in particular that would cause them to price them so low?

Rust.

I'd go see the 2nd one, that mentions frame was replaced at dealership.

Luck.

Any inputs? 3 owner with 260,000 miles. Little rust, no engine knocks or odd noises. From what I can tell it needs nee gasket seals and lower ball joint.

looks like the engine has been power washed, which is a little concerning.

What kind of concerns should I look for since it has been power washed?

there could be a fluid leak or other problem they're trying to cover up for.

came across this in my searches. i'm looking for one with multi-mode, so it's not for me. but maybe someone out here is interested:

https://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto...771680352.html

assuming the rust isn't bad, that's a hell of a deal.

edit: guess he got inundated with replies and realized his mistake. the original price was $4500, now it's $5900.

Just purchased a '00 Limited with 4-speed auto trans. Doesn't look like the transmission ever had a service. I'm at 146,000 miles. A good mechanic in my area said it's probably not a good idea to do a fluid swap if it hasn't been done at this point because it could agitate the transmission and start causing problems. Anyone have additional input on this?

Following this because I’m at the same point. 144K and novtrans ever been messed with.
Still have to fix that slow leak in an engine gasket. But runs like a top.

I did run my Mazda move to 198K wo ever doing a trans fluid swap/clean. Never had an issue.
Carry on.

Yes, there are many dead links. But my level of care is quite low.
