    Hello, our mother is could potentially be purchasing a 2012 4Runner SR5 80K miles for 20,750 + Tax tile license. Anyways I think it's a fair deal, it just came into a local Lincoln dealership so hasn't even been detailed yet just inspected and had no photos on the site. She is 4 FT 10 and a half and has a hard time with other vehicles. she tried a Pilot and even with the seat all the way up could barely see over the steering wheel and couldn't touch the pedals. The pathfinder was better but still with the seat all the way up could hardly see over the steering wheel. She currently has an 05 Sienna and 07 Ridgeline and had a 99 suburban before that. She really liked the Suburban. She hates the steering on the Ridgeline and the transmission is having some issues plus it has an electrical gremlin so always needs to be on a battery maintainer. She wanted it so she could tow or haul stuff if needed. The Van she likes because the hood slopes downwards and so can easily see while driving and it could haul 7 people and had some storage but it can't tow much. So she was getting sick of looking for vehicles and this one came up, no pictures so we stopped and she test drove it and she immediately felt comfortable in it and was able to see over the steering wheel and touch the pedals it had great get up and go and the brakes were good or she calls them touchy which I think she likes. It is unfortunately only a 5 seater but I think she can live with that. I took some very quick photos to send to my brother so will upload them here for you guys to see.

    Thanks,
