    I am in Ecuador, looking to buy a used 4Runner to travel all over South America. The availability of cars is limited considering year, kilometers and prices. To give you an idea of what I am talking about:
    1)a 4Runner 2013, 85,800 Kms, $54,800;
    2) a 4R 2009, 115,000 kms, $39,500;
    3) a 4R 1993, 186,189 kms, $13,500;
    4) a 4R 2004, 175,000 kms, $19,900
    5) a 4R 2015, 97,000 kms, $74,000

    Deciding is difficult, gasoline in Ecuador is $1,85 a gallon; in the rest of countries the gallon is running around $3.80-4.00. The idea is to overland as much as possible. A once in a lifetime trip.
    I would appreciate hearing any and all comments and opinions.
    Saludos,

    If you are paying $74,000k for a 2015 with 97km.

    I have a 2018 TRD OR with 2K miles. I'll let it go for the low price of $200,000. I'll also refund you your airfare in cash when you show up to my door with cash in hand.

    Depends on where he’s at and the exchange rate. A $74k rig where he’s at may be $20k USD

    What is your budget??? I would look locally in Ecuador and probably lean towards a diesel land cruiser or even better a diesel Ford Ranger.

    But if it's possible to import a 4 from the US I will sell you mine that has 40233 Kms on it for $40K USD:D

    I will even drive it down and meet you at the border loaded with 7 cases of beer. :)
