    Seems like possibly a decent deal. I bought a 98 clean title 120k for 3200. How many miles? I guess it would also depend on what the damage was and how good of job whoever fixed it did. Resale might be a pain in the ass people and banks are generally leery of dirty titles. On the other hand they're awesome vehicles. We are on our third third gen. Enjoy it, have fun with it and welcome.

    Great find, looks clean for salvaged! I'd recommend inspecting wherever the collision was made...(ex. front end collision, check alignment of headlights and what not) Other than that, you could get rid of those running boards and get the clearance and looks upgraded:cool:

    Thank you everyone I appreciate all the good words!
    I’m going to be doing plenty of upgrades soon once I fix the rack and pinion issues. Both boots are shot and leaking like crazy so I need to service that first before anything. Besides that everything seems smooth !

    Nice, my first 4Runner was a 97... probably the most awesome vehicle I have ever owned. It tore up the Eastern Washington mountain trails... stock even... Welcome from Texas...
