The problem is that I would like to look at it and at least test drive it. If I head all the way to either coast or down south then it's quite possibly a waste of my time and money if it does not work out.
There is risk involved but much less so on the west coast. Pics will tell a lot. If the owner isn't willing to take then for you then they aren't ready to sell.

If you have driven one you have driven them all. If it's at a reputable dealer and the pics look good I wouldn't even hesitate. Usually if you tell them from out of town they will do a very thorough inspection too.

I'll second that. I bought my 3rz off of a nice lady while I was in Japan. I had about 4 weeks left there and I asked if she would take a few extra pics. I got what I needed, I paid a fair price, and she sold her 3rz 4x4 and said she was going to get a Ford escape....that's when I left.
 
So I widened my search and came across this gem. Please critique.

Search car listing

I'm currently on a 4Runner buying spree so I'm with Krypto here buy it before I do. In all seriousness if if I had the cash I would get this one. Reminds me of my sport which had roughly the same mileage and was a couple hundred bucks less. I didn't even negotiate with the guy I said I'll pay full asking price. He had a binder full of service records from the dealership and was the original owner can't argue with that. Plus the color is amazing I have a soft spot for glacier metallic
 
Wtf is up with the color!? It looks like a powder blue? I don't think it's worth that being a northern car with that many miles.

I don't think it's glacier metallic. Isn't the official color sea foam green?
It's kind of messed up but the more I look at it the more I like it. My
Wife think it looks like something an old person would drive. There is an Avalon running around here in the same color

Yeah I'll do oldman tan, but that is a little much.
 
Maybe a light at the end of the tunnel. Our local Toyota dealer is getting a 97 in on Tuesday with 108k. The sales manager is a good friend of mine so he is going to let me know when he gets it and give me first crack at it. I guess it's in "pristine" condition. Only thing is that it's jade mica and an sr5. Good thing is that it's only $6k.

Imperial Jade mica = my favorite color !

Hey that's good news. I've got good news too!

I fixed the starter on my 4runner. She lives! Good to be driving the ol girl again as my daily.
 
It's soaking here but no snow. It's supposed to change overnight.

It's scary driving in the snow here. College town and most of the students suck at driving. I would love some plate bumpers in the snow.
