Love my 4R so much, I'm buying another!

About a year ago I sold the 94 Wrangler that I bought brand new and bought a beautiful 02 4R Sport Edition. It was a one owner car with only 84,000 miles. I FRIGGING loved it.

Only problem was so did my wife. She loved it so much that when I went out and bought another play car (86 Mustang GT with T-tops) she decided that she wanted the 4R for herself. So I sold her CR-V and gave her the 4R. I scored a cheap 95 Bronco as a daily driver, and I was rotating back and forth between the Mustang and the Bronco and we actually pocketed a few bucks out of the whole deal.

Well I had enough of that. Every time we would go somewhere as a family and we took the 4R, I regretted giving it to my wife. So I sold the Mustang on eBay. Shockingly, I sold the Mustang for a LOT more than I paid. The Bronco is going to be stored at our vacation home in the Pocono's and I started the hunt for another ride.

There was really no decision. I knew that I wanted another 4R. Last night I checked out a 2000 SR-5 with 136K. It's super clean and has brand new tires, and a new PA state inspection. I checked it out thoroughly and everything looks good. I made an offer and the guy wanted a day to think about it. Before I pull the trigger is there anything you guys can tell me about the 2000 that I should know? We ABSOLUTELY love our 02 and I know that there are some subtle differences.

Any feedback?

Being on the board I am sure you are familiar with the few problems everyone will face now and then. Leaking rear seals, rust underneath, etc.

There are some real gems in Penn as far as 3rd gen 4runners are concerned. Post pics when you take ownership.
 
Just read the Sticky's and you should be well ahead of the game. 99 and 00 I think were the best 3rd Gens IMHO.
