So currently I'm set to win a 2006 Toyota 4runner on ebay for $10.5k. I just got a job offer in a major city and now I'm starting to think I should back out of the bid and find something smaller.

The reason I wanted a 4runner was because I wanted to get into overlanding. With my new job I realize I won't really have enough time to do that most likely and I can always buy a 4runner in a year or so.

What do? And what car would I get instead?

Chevy volt. Used for less than 20k

Get a beat to fuck Geo Metro. When you leave you can sell it for more than you bought it for.

Got a garage spot at home and work, or off street parking?

Of not, get something you don't mind seeing slowly and mostly anonymously beat to shit by everyone around you.
>>
>>14607272
No garage or off street parking. My parents are about 45min away with a house and a garage if I needed to work on it.

How about a Mercedes 300D?

Chill out nigga, I didn't pay yet. Besides I know this thing wasn't taken off roads and it's nice and rust free. Should I just get an E30 instead and fun and save ca$$$hh?

It has 142k on the odo. An excellent kbb rating puts this at $10.2k

I mean I haven't paid yet so I can just tell ebay and the seller to fuck off if I really want to.
>>
>>14607610
And hurt your feedback.
>>
>>14607610
>tell ebay and the seller to fuck off
Please deliver.
>>
>>14607643
I mean I will but I need the approval from the rest of the br/o/thers that this is a bad financial decision.

>I still want a 4runner

Weird, we've had a lot of 4Runner related threads on /o/ recently.

I had an 07 4Runner Limited with the 4.7, traded it for an E90 335. The 3 is an absolute hoot to drive, but a day doesn't go buy where I don't miss my 4. Great car, OP, it'll never let you down as a DD. You shouldn't have remorse. Save some cash over the next few years and buy a project/weekend car...use the 4 as a DD.
>>
>>14607662
I will say, that is an awful lot of money for a 4Runner with that kind of mileage, even if it's in flawless condition (which it's probably not).

You overpaid, but don't feel too bad...it's a 4Runner. You can drive it for another 140k miles with no problems. It's a fun car and it's probably one of the most reliable vehicles ever made.
>>
>>14607256
this is the true option

op do this
>>
>>14607662
>use the 4 as a DD
But at 14 mpg the fuel bills will eat him alive.
>>
>>14607693
Is he towing a house on a regular basis? I got 16.5 combined and I had the V8.
>>
>>14607310

In that case, I'd get anything with steel bumpers so that everyone that bumps your vehicle just fucks their own shit up.

I'm nice like that.

The ebay listing I won was a v6

>in a major city
Why would you get a 4-Runner? Has a terrible turning radius.
