Thanks guys. Just got back. The girl with the auto couldn't make it so just got to check out the 5 speed. Got there and did a quick walk around before the owner showed up, and everything looked good. Sure it showed its age with some dents and faded paint, but no biggie. Then I looked at the...

I'll be checking out two 2nd gens today, in about an hour actually. One is a 90 5speed with 152k miles($2300), the other is a 92 auto with 225k miles($2900). Both look very clean but neither has maintenance records. Which sounds like a better find/deal. Will be a DD and some weekend trails...

Thanks to all the members that posted their 2 cents. I ended up taking to a shop of my wife's friend, and turns out that the suspension was all shot.

Yeah, that's the one right next to les schwab.

New to the forum here, and looking for some advice. I've been looking into buying a 3rd gen t4r and after a few months of searching I've found one that I think might be the one. I found a 5 speed, 4x4, 97, sr5, with 205k miles and they are asking $5999. I don't know about any service records, or...
