Ok, some information about me first. I'm 16, 17 in may. I live in CT, i ski and I drive my friends around a lot. I love driving, and long drives and such. I am looking at buying a 96 limited. its in excellent condition, and has 160 K on it. they are asking 6500, so i figure a little less than that. what does everyone think about 96 Runners?

too much.

tell them you'll give them $4000 tonight. I bought a '97 limited, with rear diff lock, 132,000 miles for $5,300 at a stealership! It was traded in when the owner bought a 4th gen.

its a private seller...not a dealer

Didn't know that. give them even less..... $3,700.

Stealerships always bump up their prices. You can buy vehicles from private sellers for less.
 
here is a picture of it

I say once you get your new ride tell your friends it didn't come free and get some gas money. hehehe.

I've got a couple of people that love doing out-dorsy sports but never want to take their car. Long story short, we don't do out-doorsy stuff together cause I am yet to see a 4Runner with a TAXI sign up. hehehe.

Very nice condition and tires...I assume the sellers are older people?? They tend to over-value their stuff and don't haggle well. Always offer low and go up. Looks like a great vehicle though and you will pay for it.
 
im not sure if they are older people. i do know that they use it as a third car. they also say it is garaged all the time. i assume they bought it as a third car, and dont use it often, so they want to try and get some money back. I'm still trying to set up a meeting with the people. hopefully we can arrange one for wednesday, thursday or friday of this week. I'll definitly let you guys know what happens. from what i've seen so far, and been told, it seems to be an excelente vehicle. i also doubt it will go for 3700 or even 4000. i think prolly 5500 is the least they sell it to me for. We'll see how it turns out. Haha, if i charge my friends gas money, they'll never hang out again. at this point i really dont care about the gas. but then again, i have never had to fully full a car each week. i mentioned that i drive my driends around alot because its an SUV. my dad had a '92 back in the day, so i know its got plenty of room for 5 plus stuff. thanks for what you guys have said already...if you have more, keep it coming
 
well, i found this guys add on bargainnews .com. he had it up for a little while before i decided to try and contact him. he lowered his price to 6000 the day before i got through to him. i set up a meeting with him today...i'm checking it out on friday. i'll post what happens after...thanks for all your help and such
 
i went and checked it out. i talked him down to $5700. im gunna get it tomorrow. thanks for all your help., i'll post some pics in a new thread when i can. thanks again
