    Just purchased a 1999 4Runner with only 71k miles. Forest Green color and is a 4x4 SR5.

    Paid $11k, no rust on frame.

    Recent repairs:
    Around August of last year:
    Radiator
    Coolant flush
    Serpentine Belts

    Around March this year:
    Timing belt and water pump kit
    Thermostat
    Valve cover gaskets
    Spark plugs and wires
    Air filter
    Fuel filter
    removed the throttle body and completely cleaned it.

    Welcome to the forum!

    I can't say much about the price, but it looks clean!

    At 71,000 miles, you basically bought yourself a brand new 4Runner. Keep up the maintenance and it will last for many, many years to come. Looks really nice!

    I don't actually know if you did well or not, but my uneducated and unresearched opinion is that you got a great deal on a great vehicle. Another 30,000 miles or so and it will be broken in.

    Welcome.
