need opinions on this 3rd gen

[ocreptileguy]

So I'm in the market for a 3rd gen. In the event that my current vehicle doesn't sell quick enough for me to have enough $$$ to grab one from auction I have been eyeing this one:

It's at 224k miles. Higher then I like but it's clean, manual, and seems to been kept up really well. Here's link to car fax:
CARFAX Vehicle History Report for this 2000 TOYOTA 4RUNNER SR5

I'm looking for opinions on a vehicle with this kind of mileage. What do I need to look for to be going out at a high mileage like this
Thanks!

It looks pretty good but it's a lot of miles for that price. It looks like it was well maintained. The market is probably higher in CA, but around here that would go for about $5000. If you could get it for that, I'd buy it (provided everything checks out - no rust, decent tires, etc.). At 234,000, you can figure there's at least 50,000 miles left in it, maybe more (maybe much more).

I bought mine with 203K on it. It's a 1996, not quite as clean as yours but it is a Limited. I wouldn't be scared of it if I were you.

Thanks everyone. My only concern with the high mileage is that I do a lot of driving to OR, AZ, NM, TX and what not. I don't want the motor to crap out on me in the next year

It's a Toyota so if taken care of properly it will run until the end of time, I pay more attention to the up keep more so than the mileage hell my wifes dd ls400 is nearing 500k and still runs great as it's a daily driver.
