    Hi!,

    I'm new to 4Runners and looking to get a 3rd Gen. I found one for sale close to me, but I'm concerned about the amount of rust underneath.
    • 2000 4Runner SR5
    • 5 Speed
    • 178K Miles
    • Clean Carfax with no frame or accident history
    • Small spot of rust on the right rear bumper
    • $7K
    Can you tell me if this level of rust is too great? I don't have the means to deal with any rust repair since I don't have a garage.

    Thanks for your help!

    Dobs IMS, lots of small stuff
    That's pretty minor in the world of 4Runner rust

    Nope, very minor. Maintain and mitigate.
