"USA imports" daily driver, whats good?

I took a 4runner on a trade years ago when i had to have shoulder surgery and could not drive the a-100 at the time, The wife loved it so much i bought her another just like it. I thought I would hate the thing, but must say it proved itself to me over and over again. Both have the 2.7 4 cyl motor, mine auto hers 5 speed. I would load that thing full of motors and crap to go to swap's and the scrap yard and what not. I sold mine with 287xxx miles and still running great, but i needed a full size truck to move out of state. Wifes is a tough little beast, we have towed heavy trailers with it. I picked hers up for 5k with 115xxx miles on it, so your budget would get a really nice one. the 2.7 motor has a timing chain not a belt. the v6 motors have a timing belt, just food for thought.
