Remember it does go alot by the 15k a year mileage and I've seen '03s around here under $20k (80k+ miles) and I've seen low mileage examples of '01-'02 3rd gens going for $23k.
Mine is now 7 years old and even with 117k on the odo I can still get over $11k (with extras) here in Colorado so it's still worth keeping for a while longer.

I sold my '91 Wrangler in April 2000 for $8500. I paid $12,900 in Auguest 1991... 66% depreciation in almost 9 years is a pretty good run.

surprised to see Jeep Wrangler's make that list. Didn't know they had such a following.

Residual Value
The high residual value of the 4Runner is one of the main reasons I leased it. My payment is about $120 per month less than it would be for a Ford Explorer or GMC Envoy.
I think that the prices for used Toyotas (and Hondas, for that matter) are too high - at least in my market; but that shows faith in these vehicles by the motoring public.
I know that GM and Ford build some half-decent stuff also, but the perception is that their quality is lower. Selling so many vehicles to fleet customers won't help their resale value, either.

Honda/Toyota resale is definitely high. I sold my 95 Accord a couple years ago with cigarette burns all over the seats (I was in college and in a frat at the time :beer: ) for above blue book even when it had 108K miles on it. I think the high resale value is well warranted though because I'm sure the car is still going strong to this day. If it was a 95 Taurus with 108K on it... now that maybe a different story.

Then there's the last gen Supras particularly the turbo modles which with anything under 50k on the odo will command upwards of $30k and I've seen some bought with a few extras but over 100k still going for over $25k and that's almost any year of thsoe Supras.
Thanks Fast&The Furious.

Wonder how the US d-90's would compare? They certainly bring a pretty penny as old as they are. What were they priced at new back when they sold them over here?

I think the Supra prices are well-warranted though. It's one of those rare cars with an outrageously overbuilt engine (along with Toyota reliability!). Many single turbo Supras put down 700+ whp on they dynos with stock internals. Our 1UZ can barely handle 300 whp which is why TRD stopped making a supercharger for us.
The only car I can think of in recent memory with an overbuilt engine like the Supra is the 03-04 Cobra and those are not dropping in price. They don't come close to the Supras power output either..

Serouisly? Stock I thought they made more than a stock supra at an underrated 390 hp and 390 lb ft of torque. My first dyno at 5000 miles it made 369 rwhp and 350lb ft of torque bone stock down to the paper air filter element. Modded it can go either way depending on the mods done.
With a cooling mod to improve a hot spot in the cooling system that develops durring excessive boost in the rear of the drivers side head, The proper fuel deliveryand programming, the internals are good for well over 600hp. It was amazing they had them running low 10's within a year of their introduction without even lifting a valve cover. 9's shortly after. Either way it's impressive. Nitrous Pete was the guy pushing the envelope at the time. than a few others came around and now there is everything from 2.6l ken belle blowers to big twin turbo's just as you guys run.
Not knocking the supras at all as they are awsome and I highly respect them along with the not so pretty but defenately deadly as well buick gnx's. I am well aware highly modded they have made well over 1000 hp and have raced my fare share as well.

I wouldn't doubt that a well-done Cobra vs. a well-done Supra, the Cobra would have better times even with less power. The Supras always have had the rep of being dyno queens. As for stock vs. stock, in Japan the car companies have a gentleman's agreement to not advertise past 276 hp, they usually go a bit past that for sportscars but not much. If you notice almost all Japanese performance cars come right in at around 300.

The only way to "bring down" the prices of those Supras is that Toyota brings the Supra back, but it's probably not likely.
