Why would a vehicle have many owners?
I'm thinking of buying a 94 4runner with low miles. Why? Because right now that's all I can afford. I think I may have found one, but I'm not sure. The Carfax report shows a clean title except for one thing that's a red flag to me--it has been sold many times, sometimes owned for less than a year. Only the original owner owned it for 4 years, and then it was sold a multiple of times. I ask myself why it would be sold so many times if it was a great vehicle. Any thoughts?

Lots of people get tired of a vehicle after a short time. Nothing necessarily wrong with the vehicle, they just get bored, and get something else.

maybe the radio doesn't work?
i have a 90 4runner and love it. i'll probably drive it till its nothing but rust and get another. tough to kill a toyota.
take it for a drive and to a good mechanic for a checkout then see whats up.But if I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

If a mechanic gives it thumbs up and it is priced well, then who cares why it has so many owners?
Check if the engine has been rebuilt. 4Runners of that era are know to have bad heads. Ask me, I know.
How many miles is low miles?
