Just purchased a 96 recently with only 178500 miles on it! Runs like a champ, got her from someone I work with who doesn't really drive her all that much anymore and was looking to free up some space in their driveway!
Ive got a 1996 SR5 bought with 370,000mi about 6 months ago. Interior needs work, but it starts, runs and drives great. Hardly any rust. Although i have recently run into some serious problems with electrical. The forum wont let me start a new thread yet, but i intend to soon.
@%1; I have a 96 3rd gen. I got it a little over a year ago with 219,000 miles on it. It's now sitting at 304,000 miles. Have had to replace brakes, battery, tie rods, and ball joints but other than that it's a great vehichle
