Prospective 4Runner owner, needs help
I'm looking for a very specific combination of features in a 4runner. I've found one in the last several months, but unfortunately when I went to look at it I found it to have more rust than i thought was proper for a 2017. The vehicle is otherwise in very good shape, no body issues, one owner, and fairly clean otherwise.
I passed on it at the dealership after they put it up on the lift for me. I can post pics if it helps. I live in a rust-state (PA) and the vehicle is 1-owner from a northern PA state. Clearly the owner did nothing to mitigate rust (car wash, rinse, underbody treament, etc).
I need to know if this vehicle is a run-away situation or if it can be mitigated with treatments. If I do not purchase this vehicle, I'll have to spend around a $1k to repair my existing Jeep enough to pass inspection due at the end of the month. I keep my vehicles forever, so I refuse to compromise on certain aspects of my desired new vehicle, and the condition of this one just seemed like a deal-breaker, unless I'm making too big a deal over it.

I named mine the 4NR (foreigner) after a nickname growing up and the play on words. #8thpost #questfor15

Easier to mitigate rust from a vehicle that doesn't have any to start with. If you think it's been neglected I would pass.

No kidding. Went on a trip last week and decided to see how many 4Runners I would see on the trip. Gave up pretty quickly as it seemed that I would see one every minute or so.

LOL! Does a hell of a lot better than my 2003 Chevy Z71Suburban.
