235K miles scares me a bit for that price!! Look around a bit you can find nice ones with 85K miles less for not much more money!
 
Welcome! Im not too far from you. (zona rosa area) I Have a 96 with 270K miles
That 4runner looks decent for its age.
things that i noticed (that i liked) seemed to have a lift,
not much rust (only noticeable on tow hitch)
Test drive it and see how the suspension feels, get under it and look the bushings of everything.
the driver seat looks like its seen the miles.

mainly check the maintenance history on it if there is any. the price is decent, maybe a bit high.

The last one I saw in Missouri with less than 85K miles was sold for over 11K.
I have a 2000 SR5 with 144K and a 5 Speed manual for $6850. Just did Timing belt, brakes, radiator, diif fluids, etc.
 
Ok, I thought it had a lift! I've never looked at one in person until then and I thought it looked big. Just assumed it was the norm. Seats are worn for sure, no biggie. I can get some seat covers. I just want something that looks good and as reliable as my magnum.

By 85K less than 235K.. I ment around 150K.. I see nice ones for sale 150-160K go for 5 grand.. Just saying you look in the right places you'll find good deals, and not have to pay top dollar for something that has 200K on it. Ive just recently bought a super clean 99 Highlander w E locker 130,000 1 owner who had it serviced religiously at the Toyota Dealership for 6 grand. :becky:

6K are you kidding me.... Ugh! That was a steal of a deal. You know the manager or something?

What's your budget?

That particular truck looks okay, the rust scares me a bit, and the mileage is getting up there especially if you don't know how it's been maintained.

My truck had the same thing in the glove box also. It was a Dealer Demo Truck in 99 because I had nothing for the fist 15k. After that I had everything. The truck was not perfect but having that was worth far more than some scrapes and scratches and no stick. My limited was loaded and even had the Cargo Net still and the Factor Window Sticker. :rockon::rockon:
