You call the others liers and then make a statement like this.

So you paid over $30,000 for a car over 10 years ago and you think that
$500 would be a bit much for an alternator or starter on a car in the
same class as the BMW 5 series? Let me let you in on a few secrets. AC
systems fail, they fail on 5 day old cars, they fail on 5 year old cars.
Second, if you have an exhaust heat problem, fixing the symptoms is not
going to fix the problem. You either had a bad heat shield or a rich
running condition. And third, I don't know what any of this has to do
with the reliability of 4 runners so why you brought it up is beyond me.
My advice, spend half as much on a car next time and feel 1/4 of the
buyers remorse.

Opps, that should read "lean running condition".
