In the market in SE Wisc

[Blueline51]

Hey all- I'm car shopping (really 4Runner shopping) in Southeast Wisconsin, looking for a daily driver that won't be afraid to go offroad. Found the forum, hoping to get some pointers/advice/etc, what to look for, what's bad/good. I'd appreciate some input, or direction to the right posts/forums. Thanks much!

Welcome to the club! Is there a specific gen of 4Runner that you are interested in? What is your budget and requirements for the Runner that you are looking for?

I just recently purchased a '98 SR5 with a 5 speed from M&M Motors in West Allis this past saturday. I noticed a couple other ones there in good shape. Mike, the guy I bought it from, is a 4runner guy also. Might be worth a look on their website.

My budget is only 5k, unfortunately. I'm looking at a couple 98's (Gen 3?) from private sellers in the area- I've always like the look of those model years. My goal is to find a daily driver for back and forth to work for my wife and I, one that will last a good 5+ years, and handle WI winters with ease. In my budget, I'm seeing mileage around 110-140k, but from what I've heard about 4Runners I could get another 100k out of it.

Hmmm I would do a search through autotempest and go from there. That's how I ended up finding mine. It took me almost 6 months to find one I was looking for that I could afford and was close enough to get.
