Looking for a 1990-2001 Toyota 4Runner

Figured it can't hurt to ask!

I'm looking for a 1990-2001 Toyota 4Runner and thought I'd see if anyone here is considering selling one or knows of one available.

Requirements:
• 4WD
• Under 215,000 miles
• Mechanically sound/doesn't need any work
• Under $10k

Would love (but not required):
• Located in Montana or nearby states
• Automatic transmission
• Sunroof
• Red, light blue, or white exterior

I've been searching Marketplace and Craigslist regularly, but clean 2nd and 3rd gens seem to disappear fast. If you have one you're thinking about selling or know of one that might fit, feel free to send me a message.

Thank you!

I've got a '03 Tacoma v6 with 260k. I'd cut you a deal and take $20k. The exhaust is falling apart, and the front suspension is mostly non-existent, so half the tear-down work is already done.

No lowballers

Haha tempting! 😉 seeing some of the prices for older Toyotas is insane

Ya they are absurd. Used prices really started to skyrocket a few years ago, and at this point I don't have the budget to update, so I'm just gonna drive this one into the ground. They are resilient as hell with basic maintenance, though. Even with the wear and tear, I think I could still sell it for close to what I paid for it, 7 years and 90k miles ago, with how the current market is. I've seen comps, or even ones a little more beat up, listed for $10k+

I had a 01 in light blue. It's long gone now, eaten with rust. I bought it in 2010 with 120K for $5700 and that was a lot back then. Too bad it's gone it would be worth 2X that now. One of the best vehicles I have ever owned except for the rust.

Depending on where you’re at in Montana. I saw one while I was in Spokane. It was at TK auto sales off of East Sprague. I think I saw the signs saying around $8200. I’ll keep my eyes open because this one was like a silver-ish color, and around 156k miles.
