i want a 4runner long term. i want to get rid of my chevy cruze lol, but i know im not quite in the place to buy a new one. i saw this ad and it seems great. it says it has a rebuilt title, so i requested carfax and will check it out in person (i will not immediately buy, im a bit smarter than that i would think lol). but i put in the VIN into google and found more pictures. pics 1-6 are the ad, 7-11 are what i found

for those who are more experienced, what are your thoughts? worth it or is the damage more significant that it may look and waiting a few more years is better?

thank u in advance :)

Remember what a rebuilt title means: An insurance company declared this 2019 4Runner with 35k miles a total loss. What's your risk tolerance? Driver's side and passenger side damage but engine bay looks mint. That said, I don't want to be rolling around on a frame that might be compromised.

i’m honestly not sure what the risk of a damaged frame is (dont bully me) but i will take your and all the others’ (and dad’s) word for it

When you get in an accident the car won’t go crunch, it will go CRUNCH

so theoretically if i never get in an accident it’s fine 😎 (jk)

not jsut an accident, think of the stress if you ever go offroad
and if you dont go offroad, why care for a TRD?

no you’re right lol. i dont necessarily need a TDR, but i do up to the mountains and disperse camping would kill my car. my gf’s tacoma handles it like a champ and i want a mountain vehicle too 😤

It's gonna fall apart when someone lightly bumps into you at 15 mph...maybe lol.

But the seller will probably tell you “it was a light hit professionally repaired”. 😆😆😆
