Okay so i found a 2000 4runner sr5 with 145k miles on it for $6300. im going to look at it tomorrow. What exactly should i be looking for to see if the car is in good shape and well maintained? Your input is much needed and would be very helpful! Thanks!

Also, is this a good deal with the info that i know so far?

This is a good reference:

As far as other stuff, take a look at the fender joints to see if they line up or if any of the bolts have been removed. That will be a sign that it's been in an accident. Also look underneath for any rust issues. It shouldn't have any if it's been in the area its whole life. Other than that, just try to get a feel of how the previous owners took care of it. Did they baby it or did they not really care about keeping it clean and nice.

If you have pics of it or a link, it would help.

If it turns out to be in good condition, $6300 sounds like a good price to me. 145k on a 4Runner is nothing.
