I bought a stock 2001 with 94000 miles in New Jersey and had it shipped to California for $8000. It has some rust but nothing unexpected and definitely not too much. I got a great deal

yes they are getting hard to find. Up here in alaska they are few and far between...but people that know 3rd gens are up here too. In the past 2 weeks I have seen some super nice ones, and both last a day or two on craigslist. the last one had 210k, an SR5, had a locker, cloth seats and was listed at 9k and was gone the next day.
of course like anyplace...there are ones that have been listed for weeks...and of course we know why....trashed.
I noticed that a dealer in Oregon is asking up to 16k for a 2000 sr5....getting crazy.
But I paid what many at the time thought was high...5 years ago I paid just under 10k at a dealer ( with all fees) in Oregon....that had been dealer maintained for both previous owners and traded in at 143k
now at 245k...bet I could sell it at near that...of course ..babied to a point...well maintained....not trashed even though it has seen miles of back roads exploring.
well of course the drivers leather seat could see some love and im gearing up for some more mild mods for more exploring this coming season

You're not looking in the right places. Only dealers use most of the car listing specialty sites and only specialty dealers who charge an arm and a leg will be selling 3rd gen 4runners at this point. Hit Facebook marketplace, various buy sell trade groups like toyotaholics B/S/T on Facebook, Craigslist (nationwide or larger areas can be searched via searchtempest).
There's plenty out there but we really are getting to the point where expectations will need to be dialed back and the 3rd gen 4Runner becomes more strictly a hobbyist's vehicle. You just aren't going to find many sub-175k immaculate garage kept 4runners out there without paying an arm and a leg. Luckily they were built to last, or they'd be hitting the scrappers in droves like most other mid 90s vehicles at this point.

Yea only the misinformed pay ridiculous prices for a 3rd gen. They are good vehicles but since Toyota still makes the 4runner my 4th n 5th gen are better vehicles in every measurable category. I love my 3rd gen because it takes me back 25 years. How many buyers really think like that to make the 3rd gen so popular?

Sure wish you didn't have to sell your soul to use that resource (or, rather, I wish people would stop using things that required their soul as payment). I don't know anyone out here in the real world who actually uses that site, so it's not like I could look and just ask them to make contact. And I tried the whole "fake" thing, was never approved.
Just angers me as I have see some deals on there, things I'd gladly pay the asking price for. As usual, I simply can't even give away my money.

There are tons of them out there for reasonable prices, you just gotta know where to look and be willing to replace an engine or transmission or something. Sometimes you can find rust free southern or western 4Runners in rust belt areas of the country. I picked up a beautiful 02 with a blown motor for $900 at a local dealership after a retired Air Force couple from CO traded it in. Got a nice rust free 02 Limited that came from FL with PMS for $500. Bought a super clean rust free one with 175k (origin unknown) from another local mechanic for $3500, sold it to my plow guy for $4500 cash plus $500 off the plow bill after doing absolutely nothing to it at his insistence. Just bought it back for $4500 after he put pads, rotors, calipers, struts, rear coils, 2" lift spacers, swaybar links and a set of new General Grabbers on it. I usually pay $100-$500 for rusted frame junks and $500-$3000 for fixer uppers. Running driving 4Runners sell for $3-$10k around here depending on condition, mileage and mods. As I said, they are out there, you don't need to pay $10k for one.

It needs to be 4WD, with Locker and no rust (don't care if it's limited, SR5). The ones that are available around the Southwest are going for 8k-16k with about ~200k-250k miles!
Did prices just go up? My 00 Limited with Lockers I bought in 2011 was around 10k I think.
Even 2nd gens on ebay and Autotrader are in the 8k range now. And first gens are going for 10k+!
2nd Gens used to be 3-4k. And I could have sworn 5-6k for a 3rd Gen 4wd was about average a year or so ago. Also, there are so many fewer available!
Across the entire US, including all conditions w/ and w/o lockers there are like 40 for sale. W/ lockers are even rarer and w/o rust even more rarer.

I've been saying on this forum forever that these trucks are starting to go up in value. They go for even more than that in the desert.

Forgot to add I am in Chicago and this is by far cleanest 4runner out there. Interior is spotless and absolutely no rust because original owner had it on west coast till 2016 and had undercoating done too.

I got lucky getting my 99% rust free, a bit mechanically neglected, 2000 Limited 4wd E-locker in NC a couple years ago for $4500. The first post has pictures of underneath from when I first got it and the last post has after fluidfilm application this year.

I think that's the thing. These are 21+ year old trucks going for 6-10k... 2 years ago, they'd be closer to 4-7k and many of them are beat up/nasty. Some of the higher priced ones are mint, so that's understandable, but not for 11-16k.
Hmmm.. I'll just wait a bit... in 3-4 months when we have 12% unemployment.. these will all be on fire sales.
