First Purchase
I have ALWAYS wanted a 4Runner but due to their amazing resale value, they have never been in the budget. I was hopeful when they came out w the new models the older models would go on sale but boy was I wrong. I ended up with a smaller SUV but ready for something bigger.
I work from home and do not get out much except for on the weekends I attend a ton of yard sales and estate sales. I’ve started using my husbands farm truck because I can put more in it. Needless to say, I need something bigger. His truck is always dirty and now the ac is out 🥴
I have found a 4Runner limited down the road from me for what I believe to be a good price at $26k. Issue is, it has 115k miles. If you are a 4Runner diehard fan, would you purchase? It’s a 2020 model, one owner, clean carfax and the dealership it’s at just replaced all 4 tires. I honestly do not drive much, but I’ve also never bought a used vehicle with that many miles.
For context I will be financing ONLY bc I have absolutely no debt besides a car payment. I simply keep a car payment for credit reasons. So I know the APR could be an issue but I believe at 26k I would still have a cheap car note.
My husband and I want children in the near future. I have heard from a lot of moms that 4Runners do not fit car seats easily. But I believe it would be a super safe vehicle for a baby, car seat issues aside (correct me if wrong).
Please no negativity. I am only asking here bc I am completely at a loss. I would never purchase a vehicle with this many miles if I didn’t know the durability of Toyota, but am still leery of this purchase. Any insight is super helpful!!
