Daily driving a 3rd Gen?

It’s 2025 and one of my New Year’s resolutions is to go back to daily driving a car with no payment. I currently have a 2022 4Runner but always longed for a 3rd Gen. How badly am I shooting myself in the foot by replacing my 5th Gen with a 3rd Gen? I know 3rd gens are phenomenal vehicles but these are 23-28 years old vehicles at this point. I found a 1997 SR5 that caught my eye. Well maintained, no rust, 200k miles, seems to check all the boxes but what will I be getting myself into by daily driving an almost 30 year old car?
