WTB: 5th Gen 4Runner 4x4 wanted in Austin, TX ($25-27k)
Hello All,
I'm looking for a 5th Gen 4Runner 4x4 to travel the United states visiting all the national parks and scenic sites. Going to catch up with old friends from the military and family whom I haven't seen in decades. (Kind of an Odyssey really) Anyway, I need comfort on the highways (due to a broken back...Military vet) and I also need to be able to conquer some roads less traveled. I don't know if I need KDSS or not, but I definitely know I need ground clearance and good tires. I'm currently in Austin, Texas as a point of reference.
Needs: 4x4, 2010-2011 (price restraint), Leather, Sunroof, 60,000miles or less, power windows, etc...
Wants: Trail Edition, Good All-Terrain Tires and wheels, space between the chassis and earth, Dark color (black, Gun Metal, etc..), KDSS
I'm looking to spend $25,000, the absolute maximum I can spare is $27,000.
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance for your time and thoughts.
Respectfully,
Paul

Paul,
I am in the same boat (with a slightly higher budget) but have not had any luck. I have been looking for a while. I'll keep you in mind when I search, good luck.

I'm sure your set on a 5th gen, but the 4th gens are nice, reliable, and you could get one much cheaper. I have a 4th gen, 2003 v6, and recently did a cross country trip from Austin, to Virginia and back, with many stops in between. The extra $$ you could save, could go towards the trip or even upgrades/mods.

Looking to sell in the next couple days so the reserve on the auction is at $28,500 even though I have near $50K in it. Would like to get at least $29,500 but if noone will purchase at that price Ill take a bigger hit at $28k. Thanks!

I stated my maximum limit numerous times. (27,000 dollars) If you'll do it for 27k than let's talk. If not, please leave your overpriced comments to yourself. Thank you in advance.

Sounds like a great trip and would love to see the thread when you go on it.
In regards to searching an engine I like to use is searchtempest.com.
Good luck and keep us updated. Sorry some people wanted to argue with you on your own WTB thread.
Edit: I also would maybe recomm a 4th gen. Although not AS big, but it with that budget you could get a smooth riding and capable vehicle. Also better mileage!
