    8,000 would be a fare price in my opinion, considering that you will have to take care of all that rust before it goes worst, including changing dos aligning bolts and cans. Also be ware of rust in the inner part of frame, some times it's the worst.!

    I agree with above, that’s a lot of rust to deal with. You’ll have to invest a lot of time cleaning that up and/replacing parts. But with most recent owners not holding it long makes you wonder if there is something wrong with it.

    What are the specs on it? Anything aftermarket? That's an insane asking price, relatively low miles or not. KBB excellent condition with those miles isn't even 8K. *Edit* for private party sale...based on the price I'm guessing this is at a dealership

    No way in hell I would pay that! My friend just got one for free, with a replaced engine. Granted the 4WD doesn’t engage. Thats dam near a price for a 2010!!!

    That's just weird.

    Good call taking a pass. I honestly believe that low mileage cars are more likely to be problematic than high mileage.

    Good luck with your search!

    Check for Codes
    Any check engine code light on speedometer
    Probably erased and reset
    Plug in Creader
    Drive it to 70 mph on highway
    My guess is this 4Runner has issues
    They will never get $15k
