I had a 94 4-Runner with over 425 000 km and the thing ran like a dream.

We are not talking about Fords or Dodges here.
I grow tired of the Japanese vs North American argument. It depends all on how the previous owner looked after their vehicle and price. We aren't talking new here.

If you're buying a used vehicle, you're always taking a chance. I'd bet you're the kind of person that takes care of your vehicles and gets proper maintenance done. Sadly, most people aren't like you.

To the OP something to consider, When I decide between vehicles in the 10k range is timing belt vs timing chain. Spending an extra thousand or more after buying a used vehicle isn't fun.
