2005 Toyota 4Runner 4dr Sport Edition V8 Auto 4WD, 238,530 Miles, Four Wheel Drive

I am looking into buying this car for about $6,000. 238,000 miles. Is this a good deal? Everything works. I know a v6 would be ideal but there isn’t one available. Need a large SUV very urgently. My 2011 Toyota Highlander was wrecked in an accident and the damage out of pocket would cost more than 10k. What do you think?

Especially given that it's a 19-year-old high-mileage vehicle you need a good mechanic to give it a thorough inspection before purchase.

This may give you some idea of failure trends to look out for:

(Note that chassis rust is a major concern.)
