Total NOOB

Hey 4Runner community!

Noob here, I'm looking to purchase a used 3rd Gen 00' SR5 in Allentown, PA and need some advice so I don't get bamboozled. Anyone have a great mechanic rec for that area? I don't have access to one as I live in NYC. HELP!

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Thanks! Thoughts on this? It's a 00' with 126k miles for $8K. I don't have photos of the undercarriage or under the hood yet but hoping the dealer will send over soon.

 

Welcome from FL. Do your research!

 

Heard. Research is underway! I'm excited to join the forum and have a few more questions. As far as rust in the undercarriage, how can I tell it if the problem is deeper than just surface rust? The vehicle's CarFax report that it has been maintained well but there seems to be a gap in the service in the last five years, with steady milage use around 3K, before it was put up for sale. This is my first time buying a used vehicle and I've been only searching for these 3rd Gen Yotas. Any and all help welcomed.
