Yes. I've notice other "deals" like this... Like a 2000 T4R Ltd for $3200
This craigslist ad started out as a 2000 Ltd. It now reads 2002 Pathfinder, and the email contact has changed twice.
http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/1638545709.html
The guy who responded back about the 2000 SR5 is Henry Fauvre, says the 4Runner is in Savannah GA.
As they say, if it's too good to be true....

I think there is a good chance it is legit, someone wants to get it off there property, yes the milage is low, but some of them retail for $3.5k and about $3k isnt that hard to beileve for a 4runner, a 4th gen yes it would be scam, but it could definetly be legit, plus he had to pay for that ad. I am not sticking up for the guy, but dont be discouraged, it could be real.

yeah mine on auction went for $1.8k 4x4 V6 5 Speed. Like its certianly possible. Keep your head up.
Not sure why the title says '98 unless the seller had the front bumper replaced with a '99+. Prolly wouldn't hurt to take a look at it, or have a mechanic check it out for you. And see if the seller will give you a carfax report. I'm a pretty firm believer in "you get what you pay for," but every once in a while, you can get lucky.

The add says it is a 99, title must be a typo.
Heres an example:

lol its funny because, I was looking at that today.
This is what I want you to do.
go back to cars.com
search under Toyota, 4runner, no max $ and miles.
sort from lowest price
scroll down and you will see...
a crap load of the same listing, with the same picture, and same miles and same $ amount just different miles from you.
What he is doing is posting the same scam ads only changing location so when you search say within 50 miles, only 1 ad will pop out.
If you emailed him, guarantee the car is in another state. and he wants western union and some crap about his son moved and selling for him.
At the worst, he already sold your email to spam bots.

It's a scam. Typical email address of a scammer. Used paint to make the "note". I could pull up tons of these scams on craigslist in 5 minutes. Don't fall into the trap.
