Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but what do you guys think about this deal? https://www.aviscarsales.com/car/details?vin=JTEBU5JR3G5331560&zipcode=94101#

pls help

Looking to buy a 2006+ 4th Gen V8. I'm located in the Bay Area, but willing to travel if it's the right vehicle.

Unfortunately that's not the case in California. I almost bought a 2007 V8 with 100K miles from someone on craigslist, but she got so many emails about it, that she was able to sell it for $3K over her asking price. She listed it at $13K. It's crazy out here, but at least the vehicles are...

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think a 4th gen V8 makes the most sense for me (i like to drive fast). I guess it's a little hard to justify spending around $15K for a 10 year old car when I could get something much newer for a few grand more.

I know there are a million threads on 4th gen vs. 5th gen, but I was hoping someone could give me some feedback on which gen makes the most sense given my needs. I live in a city, and don't drive that much when I'm home - maybe 50 miles a week to run errands, or drive my dog to the park. When...

Hey y'all - looking for some opinions on this high mileage (almost 200K) 2011 for cheap: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/721895039/overview/ Per the seller, they are the original owners, and the high miles came from commuting around 100 miles per day. The car was primarily driven in...

What would you guys say is a fair price for either of these? Thanks so much for all the help!

Hey guys, I found 2 decent 4runners for sale in my area. Both are 2007 4WD V8s, and both are somehow selling for the exact same price. Vehicle 1 passes the gut check in terms of vehicle and owner history, while vehicle 2 (while in many ways the "better" vehicle) was gifted to a college grad...

Looking for a 4th gen, 4WD 4runner in good condition. Hoping to keep price around $10K, but would be willing to go up a little if it's the right car. I've been tracking the forums for a while, and it seems like every time I'm messaged someone about a car that looks good, it's already gone...

Let me know if you'd consider shipping to LA

still available?

Hi everyone - a 2005 4runner with 165K miles on it just popped up with an asking price of $5K. The guy was in Wisconsin until recently and he used it significantly for towing, but the price seems almost too good to pass up. I'm sure he's going to get a lot of offers, so I'm wondering if I should...
