buyer's expertise needed, buying a 4runner Options

[99Celica]

so i've found the 4runner i've been looking for after months of searching. 94 22re 4x4 5speed if u wanted to know (also has AC roof rack and can tow)

The seller first posted an ad on craigslist for 4500, which I can't afford. At the end of his ad he stated that the price is firm, no offers. Well he ended up putting it on ebay and the auction just ended today with no bids. His price on ebay was 4400. KBB lists it at 3800 excellent and 3200 good. His 4runner is good condition but has rebuilt engine due to timing belt breaking. Any opinions on what its really worth?

My question is what would be a good offer now that he seems to be budging somewhat. I was thinking 3500-3800.

I'm also worried about someone else offering more and taking it first

Any input appreciated,

Travis

you're referring to a V6 which is quite common, i'm interested in a 4cyl 22re only. They aren't so common for this generation. I'm starting to think 4400 is way overpriced anyhow even for a newly rebuilt engine.

I dont' like how the 1st gens looked 85-89, just not my style. Wish I did cause I see a lot more of them for sale.

I did find another one pop up today, 198k for 2k firm. Gonna go test drive tomorrow. I'll let you know what happens.
