I know what you mean. My daughter says the same thing about my 1996 4-Runner with 125,000+ miles. She likes it so much, she wants me to give it to her for her college graduation. I don't want to part with it, so I got her a 2006 4-Runner. They must be a great vehicle, as a friend of mine has one of the first 4-Runner models and now has nearly 500,000 miles on it and it still look like a new one.
