They are phenomenally great vehicles and I would not hesitate to buy a used one w/ 100k miles on it if it was clean. That said, obviously you want near-new and if that's really the difference I'd say that new is a no-brainer. I assume that the low-30s ones are '09s w/ a few miles on them?

They must be holding value even in this economy. I'm surprised that the supply/price of new ones isn't applying downward pressure on used ones.

My Dad has had every series of 4-runner since they came out and now a Lexus RX, they just don't break if you do the (very minimal) scheduled maintenance.
