Used 4Runners can be tough as nails, but 210K is a lot of miles, even for one of those. Don't let them screw you on the price...and, if possible, get a Carfax report.

They really are bullet proof. And those motors are really easy to work on and so is the rest of the truck. If you can get a steal on one, I wouldn't hesitate.
They had head gasket issues on early 97 models. See if you can get the VIN on it, call a Toyota dealership and check status of it. If it has been done, look for signs of it being bad again. Remove the oil cap and look for any milky build-up under it. See if the car smokes from teh tailpipe, etc.

These things are real solid, the engine AND the transmission are solid, to be honest, i feel its more reliable then a ls400. I absolutely love these, but gas mileage and rust kills my want to get one where i am in New York. For the condition and what i see, the price seems like a pretty solid deal.

4Runner's are definitely very reliable cars. One of the shinning examples of how reliable Toyota's are, IMO. But at 210k it better be a super good deal, otherwise just look for a lower mileage one. I see some with around 150k or less that are selling at good prices. If they are well maintained (and the owner has proof) you shouldn't have any major issues with them.
