I got a call from my parents yesterday on my way home from work. "We're at the dealer, and a guy just traded in a 92, v-6, auto, moon roof, power dl, pw, ac, cruise, loaded runner w/ 24k miles!" I was like, "HUH?" It was like a dream come true. So, I flew over to the dealer ASAP. This was an executives vehicle from the area. He worked at Corning, Inc. He would go overseas for 3 months at a time, and only drive the runner when he was home for a month between trips. I could tell nobody EVER sat in the back seat, very little was ever in the cargo area. Single man, no kids or pets. This thing is in even better shape than I could ever imagine. The interior is like new, The exterior is like new except for some undercarriage surface rust, damn new york state!
After talking to the salesman (he wasn't too annoying) we drove it. MY GOD, that's when I realized what kind of shape this thing was REALLY in. WHAT a difference from my 230k truck! Smooth, power (as much as a 3.0 can have) everything works flawlessly, this is the one. The deal I've been waiting 7 years to find.

Now, the price... All BS aside, 9k out the door w/new brakes, full inspection, taxes, tag, dealer fees. (really 8,200 before all the nec. BS)
A little much it seems for a 92. BUT- In reality besides the components that wear with time (rubber, etc.) what else should I look for? I looked at all the obvious stuff, and he's checking the HG recall for me. I can't find a THING wrong with this besides a TINY amount of paint bubble on the drivers side of the rear slider rubber gasket (top of tailgate) That's it.
PLEASE leave any comments, ideas, suggestions.... I'm applying for a loan for it tomorrow. I JUST bought an 89 nissan 4x4, one owner, 68k miles wed, and put it on the road friday for a DD while I work on my truck (valves, timing belt, etc) But I drove it to work sat. and I really don't like how it felt driving, I'm too used to the yotas! Then this 4runner fell in my lap on the way home! Anyway, sorry for being so long winded, but I'm excited!
