Would You Pull the Trigger and Buy this?

Well that "appears" to be a better deal than anything I saw anywhere near Raleigh "from a dealer" last year when I was looking.

Most everything I saw was $8000 and up and ALL of them from the dealers (except for Carmax) were all trashed, I went to go see a couple of them on Capital Blvd for $8K and when I got there they looked like they had been stolen by a family of Ape's driven hard into African brush country and put away wet with the doors wide open so the herds could stomp through.

One of them IMO was not even safe nor legal to drive on the street.

So if I were you I would find a very good trusty mechanic, if you don't know any I would suggest John Hearne over and Hearnes Automotive on South Saunders St. He is good and honest.
Have him check it out thoroughly and do NOT trust "Carfax" that is only good to get just a vague idea of what might or might not have happened to it.

I had to find mine 3 hours away in Charlotte from a private party.
I found absolutely nothing in or near Raleigh last year that I would have paid more than $1,500 for except for some at Carmax but they started around $13,000 there.

Good luck

I know what you mean about the dealers around here "Nunya".. (love that handle BTW). I had the owner of this sell it right out from under me after agreeing on $7k and paying for the damn carfax: 1999 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4x4 - factory Highlander pkg - 5spd manual

Whoever bought it, you're an assssshole! But a lucky one.

I'm heading back up to negotiate...

That's because it was a good deal and worth $8K. Apparently elsewhere people think these rigs aren't worth alot because I would have bought it on the spot. Here in the northwest, that would have been over $10K at a dealer regardless if it was a reputable one or not.

Same thing here in the Denver area.

If you ever visit Denver or surrounding places like Boulder, there are TONS of 3rd gen 4Runners... You'd think that might drive the price down, but it actually puts it way up...
