Looking at 2 3rd gens. Help decide!

Pack11 · 2012-02-09T03:32:30+00:00

Hey guys, I have been lurking for a couple of weeks and have decided to buy a 3rd gen 4Runner. I recently moved from Green Bay to Orlando and previously owned a 2dr Yukon. My primary driving is to work and back 15 mi each way and city roads 45-55mph. I plan on buying a small bass boat within the year, and like to know if I wanted I could go off road. Nothing serious, but I like to look and think I can :wink2: I am trying to stay under 5k and there are 2 on CL that I have found. The first is a 97 SR5 3.4 2wd, that cosmetically may need some TLC. Here is the link; 1997 Toyota 4Runner SR5 low miles I have not talked price on that one yet, and it has 116k for miles. The other is this one; 4runner 4x4 v6 As you can see 173k SR5 3.4L and 4x4. I have gotten them to 4200 with just some texting. What do you think? I plan on keeping the truck for 2 years. I know with the first I would like to get the front bumper straightened. I also assume that whatever I buy will most likely need 500-1000 in repairs or tires. Thanks for the help!

Congrats on joining the club. That one was much better than the first one. You shouldn't have to post to much as long as you read the Stickies and general posts, they will answer 99% of your questions.

Aeroneer, I was going to tell the OP to look at CL Jacksonville also. Surprisingly there are at least one or two good ones posted each week in the Jacksonville area.
