So, we just bought my wife an '03 runner Sport Edition V6 2WD. My only concern is the fact that it has 113K miles on it. Now, my wife's stepfather "sold" it to us so not only did we get a good family deal, but I trust his judgment and his recommendations as he's family and he also didn't make a commission on the sale. He also brought in two other sales people who he trusts to ease my concern about the condition of the vehicle. It was a single owner vehicle and she lived in a rural area(paved roads though) so apparently a lot of the miles are highway miles. It's in immaculate condition...I mean truly immaculate. The only seat that looks like it's even been sat in is the drivers seat and even it looks new(leather). The engine looks almost new. When we test drove it, it drove as good as my 2007 Tacoma - not a sound. We were so impressed that we couldn't turn it down. Everyone there said that we could easily expect 250k miles with standard maintenance. What have you guys
experienced?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that they(against policy of offering extended warranties to cars over 100k miles) offered us a 2yr/24,000mile extended warranty - warranting the vehicle out to 137k miles...this told me they had a lot of confidence in the condition of the vehicle. I usually don't purchase ext warranties, but I thought at $25 more a month, it couldn't hurt.
