Found exactly what I've been looking for (finally). Great shape, all the features, BUT 135,000 miles! The good thing is that I'll save like $3500 for getting one with these instead of <90k miles. So, my second question for the night... Can I make this purchase (2004, 4x4, v8, 3rd row seats...

Bummer. You harbinger of bad news!

Is this a 4x4 or 4x2? They didn't list it, so does that mean 4x2? Maybe some of you pros and tell from the dash pic. I'm still in search of my perfect 4runner. Been a month or so since I've joined here. Patient and looking, but man do I want one still! If this is a 4x4, I think I've found it...

Carfax info here. Dealer wants $16,900 for it. v8, white, 4wd, SR5, 96,000 miles, 3rd row seat (a biggie for me), no sunroof. BUT, is this dangerous, since 3 ppl have had it? Why would the second owner have it for such a short time? I suppose it is a good thing that the last owner had it for...

Great input! I'll keep my eyes open and check those sites on a daily basis.

I'm getting impatient because I can't seem to find the 4runner just for me. What website/method is best for searching for used cars? Is craigslist all that bad? Just need to get my 04,05,06 black/white v6 or v8, 4x4, WITH 3rd row seating. Under 100k miles, preferably something under $16,500. I'm...

Yea, thats a nice one you got there. I suppose I could keep looking and shouldn't rush out there just yet! But man, it gets exciting when you get close. Any drawbacks to getting the plastic gray trim around the wheels, or is it just for looks? Also, SWAMP, is yours a v8? Thx

http://www.ksl.com/emedia/its/slc/633/63302/6330277.jpg?filter=ksl/gallery3 I can get it for 14,000. It has 85,000 miles on it, a 2003, V8, leather, SR5 Really good condition all around. Looks like a good deal, any input from you guys out there? I was looking to spend under 12,000 for my first...

Is that Dread Og from DF?

Ah yea, you're right, it is an SR5. Is that 3rd row worth it? I don't really need it right now (won't have any kids for a few years here), but maybe it helps with the resale.

White, Sport Utility, 84,000 miles. $16,000. 3rd seat, quite good condition overall. Those of you who have dealt with 4runners for a while, am I looking at a decent deal here? I have a 2000 tundra right now, plan to sell it and purchase this one. I don't have very specific questions, just...
