    I've come across a 1999 mint SR5 about 225000km, I'm new to the T4R trucks. I've always wanted one and this one is clean. Just wondering if it's worth my time for $1400.

    $1400 for a running, registerable 4Runner that passes inspection is a steal. Make sure it has a clear title.

    Welcome. Just know what you're getting into. It'll definitely need work at that price.

    Wow thanks for the replies I have a picture owner claims its mint. Looks like it in the picture I'm waiting for more pictures. I'll be heading out tomorrow hopefully to inspect the underside, 224000km Screenshot_20240528_102250_Gallery.jpg

    good luck, that price seems way too good to be true if it really is mint like that pic.
