Hello,
I've been lurking on this forum for awhile, but mostly in the 3rd gen section. I've been looking for 4x4 3rd Gens, but can't find one in my budget (~$5,000). I'm considering a 2nd Gen and found this one on CL:
1995 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 SR5
Looks really clean and low mileage, but the non-use concerns me. I've done my research on here and I know that 2nd Gens suffer the head gasket problem. You think this is worth getting despite knowing I'll have to replace lots of things? I think the price is ridiculous. I'm thinking maybe I'll offer him $3,000 or so and see if he bites even though he says his price is firm.
I'll be using the vehicle as a daily driver (I'm a pre-med student, so I'll need a reliable vehicle with limited funds), but I also like off roading. I'm also very outdoorsy (camping, hiking, mtn biking, etc), so need a vehicle that can get me around those types of areas. Opinions? Thanks in advance!
