It all depends on the frame, if it's all rusted to hell and not solid then it's not worth it or even 1/2 of the asking price, if the frame is solid even with a lot of surface rust then I would say it's not too bad of a deal, but even then I would offer less.

That all being said the rest of it needs to be checked out, maintenance records, tires, shocks, brakes, transmission, etc., also does it shift into and out of 4lo and 4hi properly, when was the timing belt done last, if it doesn't shift in and out of 4lo and 4hi it will cost as much as they're asking for it to fix that, if it's due for a new timing belt that's another $1000 to $1500 at a Toyota dealer to do, $750+ at least at an indie garage.

I wouldn't but depends on what you're looking for.

Mismatched everything makes me think that it hasn't been a well treated 250k miles on this. Maybe it runs just fine but also only being 2WD I wouldn't be interested at that price.

As mentioned, would need more review of what might not be shown in pics (frame, engine, etc).

It's allwheel drive. At $3400 why not? It's probably in need of timing belt. Have them send pics of the frame. Check Carfax for salt intensive roads.

It's a 2wd, o3blkrunner is correct, I didn't look at the photos that closely, just took the description as being correct, on the side it just says SR5, no 4WD emblem and in the interior photo there's no 4WD switch.

$1000 to be worth the time. 4th gens are at rock bottom prices right now. $3400 isn't a deal.
