New to 4Runners, and even the idea of buying one. Modest budget, looking to (maybe, possibly) pay cash for a 4Runner 2004-2006 that is...
4X4
V8
Tow hitch
Sunroof
So, here's one I've found...
2005 4Runner SR5 V8 4WD w/ Navigation
Gonna test drive it tomorrow. FSBO. It's got all of what I've been talking about, with higher/above average miles, 148K. However, here's the kicker... it's had one accident. Was parked when a window company was backing into the driveway for delivery/installation at his house, and hit the car, on one of the sides on the back bumper. Was repaired and repainted by Toyota dealership. Main mechanic for car was a friend, who's the head mechanic at his dealership. Standard maintenance done the last (almost) 40K miles, not much maintenance history before that. And small dent on rear hitch, from something else. Otherwise near mint paint, it seems, and near mint interior, too.
If I talked this guy from 10900, to 9000 or about that... would you consider that a good deal? What could I get for what I'm looking for, what prices would you think I'm looking at, given my general description of features above? And anything else I should look for?
Wanting something I can drive for 5-8 more years with modest yet consistent and meticulous maintenance, even at 20K per year (which is probably what I'll rack up, since I do like road trips). Where should I be looking, and how high a price should I expect?
(And thanks in advance for all answers. Also, yes, I have looked at other threads for answers to the more general questions, and yes, I'll continue to look.)
