Want to buy a T4R

[PdT]

I want to buy a T4R 3rd. I have been doing a lot of research and the seem like awesome cars. From what I can gather the t4r is the best SUV ever made.

I will probably get one with between 80,000 and 130,000 miles on.

It seems that the majority of the cars reach 200,000 miles, and some even 300,000 miles?

Would you buy one with around 130,000 miles on?

Most importantly. When I go look at one with high miles on (130,000k) what should I look for? What problems should I be aware of? Also....What should have been replaced by now. I don't want to buy a car that needs to have a lot parts replaced.

Thanks for any advice!

When I was looking to upgrade to a 3rd gen a few months ago, I went out with my dad and looked. The one I found needed the belts replaced because they were cracking. It had 103000 on it when I bought it. Look for rust holes, especially the frame, check the cv boots, and the belts. That's all my dad told me to look for when I was looking. It's a start. Good luck with the search.

i recently upgraded to a limited 3rd gen. It needed the belts replaced and also the CV Boot replaced as well. but other than that its a great vehicle. mine has 100k miles and seems to be in great condition.

One thing to do before buying it is take it to a mechanic you trust and have them look it over.
