    Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase my first 4runner and I'm strongly considering purchasing this one next weekend.
    https://reno.craigslist.org/cto/d/sparks-2005-toyota-4runner-sport/7290079844.html

    Main thing I'm worried about is rust, because the vehicle has been in Reno it's whole life. The pictures underneath the vehicle look pretty good, but I don't exactly know what I should be looking for.

    Suspension was replaced last year and I reviewed all of the maintenance records from the Toyota dealership and it looks like it has been maintained well.

    Guy said he could do $13.5k.

    What do you guys think?

    if you can, go underneath and eye ball the floor-frame, etc....and go from there....if you like...then purchase...if not, continue to shop around for the 4 runner of your choosing....you can't put a price on pleasure!

    Looks pretty solid! Just check the frame as stated. I think 12k would be more of a fair price but those V8’s with low miles are like unicorns.
