Buying a 4Runner

So I want a 4Runner (if you haven't noticed by my name yet). I'm currently looking at 4R's right now and I want a 5th gen, but I can't find one reasonably priced with low mileage, possibly <65k. Even though I know mileage doesn't really matter because they run forever. But I want something that'll be worth quite a bit if I want to trade later in life. I also like 4th gens and if I get a 4R that's probably what I'll get. (I'm fixing to get complicated) I want one but I know the gas mileage isn't the best even with a V6. If I get one, I'd also like to customize it (new headlights, lift, mud tires, maybe a roof-rack idk). So I want something with a low price, low mileage so I can put a few customizations on it. But recently I've figured out that finding what I want is actually quite hard. Because 4R's are so popular and once people buy them, they do not sell them. Which I guess is good—for them. Not for me. Any input would be appreciated.

Another note: I have test driven a Camry, 4Runner and a FJ Cruiser. I loved the FJ. It was fun to drive I loved it. But the price is out of the question. I loved the way the Camry drove, too. It was the SE Sport edition. The "Sport" adds new alloy wheels and a sunroof. If I can't find the right 4R for me I'll just get a Camry. But I would prefer a 4Runner

Anyway sorry for the long message.

Quite a difference between the camry and the 4runner. I've had my 2008 4runner (4th gen) since 2008 and it has been great. As for mpg, when it was stock 22 mpg seemed easily obtainable. With a small lift and little taller tires, 18-19 is now the norm. Still much better than my f150 ecoboost which gets 15 on a good day. Lifts, bigger tires, roof racks, bumpers will all hurt mpg.
