Opinions please

what are you going to use it for? are you gonna wheel it and scuff it up regularly? if not i would honestly pass altogether. if you are gonna wheel it and mess it up more, 6 tops i would say, 5000-5500 would be better. considering the amount of stock things missing, messed up, etc im guessing you are just going to keep finding more things like that after you buy it. how are the rear axle seals? i would take it to the nicest toyota dealership in the area and tell them you want to fix everything, they will find anything thats even halfway done for you so you know. then leave, but use their quotes that they gave you on the items as part of your low ball.

but in my experience people who cant bother to fix $20-40 things like wipers and antenna's probably didnt keep up all that well on the more expensive maintenance either. i would honestly pass and wait for a better cared for one myself, way too many red flags on this for me.

I am having the dealership check everything out Thursday if it has a lot to fix then I am going to pass. Ill use it for wheeling and daily driving. We agreed on 6400 contingent on a good report from the dealership.

I emailed him about it, it is nice I like all the lights.

this one looks a lot nicer and much more well cared for. This thing looks pretty :artist:

I emailed the guy but I haven't heard back.

So it looks like I am about even on yes and no answers on whether I should get this 4runner, makes my decision more difficult. Basically on my list are wheels and tires, sunroof, antennae, fender flares, and rear wiper. I found a guy to build me a bumper I would just have to sell the ARB first. Anybody know how hard it is to find the SR5 flares, I believe that is what comes on the 99's if I'm not mistaken? Here is a picture of the bumper that I like. I'd probably do it a little different and paint it matte black since he would be building it from scratch but I like the over all style.

Are you talking about the wider flares or the chrome flares? If you're talking about the wider ones, would you consider a set of bushwacker flares? Seems like that would be an easy route to go.

The stock SR5 plastic flares. The bushwacker flares are 2 expensive. I like the stock flares on the 99 below.
