Feedback on 2002 Sport

[streamfisher]

I just brought home a 2002 sport 4wd for a test drive and had some quick questions about it. My last Toyota was a 1992 Hi/Lux pick up that I had to sell because we had a baby and the car seat did not fit too well. This 4runner is a lot different than my truck was. My questions and concerns are:
1 Is there room for two car seats in back?
2 has anybody had trouble with the power windows, these seem a little choppy compared to our jeep cherokee?
Now the price: the truck is a 2002 Sport in Thundercloud with 49,800 miles, it has most of the goodies on it. It also has a big grill guard and tail-light guard. The body is pretty clean with hardly any scratches on it, interior is not perfect just needs a good cleaning. I would be able to get it on the road for $18,400. This price around here is pretty good considering what people want for vehicles like this and limited selection.
Please let me know any feedback.
Thanks a lot,
neil.

Price is good for the low mileage and yes,two car seats fit fine in the back.
Windows being choppy is a bit surprising since my '99's windows still go up and down fine.

Pretty good price, if by "on the road price," you mean, out-the-door (tax, title, license fees all included). I have the exact same truck, and I got mine for $17k OTD, but mine had 70k miles.

Yes, the price was out the door on the road. The windows seemed to be a little smoother now. I think the rig is in good shape, engine bay is clean and looks good. I will check the oil condition, tranny fluid condition, and anti-freeze (which is red?).
The owner recipts were for some warranty work done on the ball-joints and chewed up spark plug wires. There were also random servicing at the dealer for oil changes etc. The vehicle was a lease return so I assume that they need to provide receipts for maint.
Keep the feedback coming in, thanks.

aside from replacing the power antenna mast and the A/F ratio sensor, I've not had any problems with my 02 sport.

Well we are taking the 4runner back today and still don't know what to do. The vehicle looks good with a couple of small dents one in the rear bumper and one under the gas door. The interior is used with some wear but the vehicle is also a 2002. It doesn't have the floor mats just some all-weather ones but that does not matter. The tires may last one year longer. Brakes feel real good and no shaking while stopping. Fluids all look good, clean oil, tranny is red and no burning smell, and anti-freeze is red and no rust visible. The engine looks to have been cleaned and no oil residue anywhere. I looked down the oil fill line at the valve there and it looked clean.
The price is $18,400 so comparing it on autotrader and cars.com it is a good deal for the vehicle. We are pretty sure about buying it but can't decide on a price to start with.
These decisions are time consuming.
Any other suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks again,
neil.
