    Looking at two 4th gen 4Runners both are SR5. One 2007 vehicle has 117K on clock with great service history! Issue here is possible rust from the photos I can see. (All dealers closed amid COVID19) Can’t get first hand look.

    Second is a 2009 with 148K on clock, also with good service history and a local car in New Jersey. Can inspect this one on lift.

    Any thoughts as to which one makes more sense to buy.

    Personally, I'd go newer even with higher mileage if everything else is the same.

    Or, whichever one is cleaner.

    My thoughts as well, even though I preferred the white. BTW, I owned the 99 new, ordered it, as well as a 2008 also new order. I must have been nuts to sell those, regret it every time I see one.
