4th Gen for 5500? Opinions

Im thinking of flipping this car to make a few bucks, saw it i did ask its a 4X4 seems like a decent car, asking 5500. Whats opinions, Im hoping to be able to make around or at least $500 off of it, like maybe get it for 5,000 and sell it for 5500-6000. What do you all think?

2003 Toyota 4 Runner SR 5

Spoiler hate to say this if you're getting for your own pleasure go for it but I still won't pay that much for that many miles on it. Here where I live a 03 with half that mileage only going for $6000 and I can still negotiate. If you're planning to flip the truck I wouldn't pay more than $4300.

Doable but with that many miles I would need to see service records if possible . Right on the edge of taking a shite .

How long can you afford to sit on it and wait for the best price from a buyer? Do you have to register it in your name before you can resell it? In my state you do, they want their tax money, which is more out of your profits. That truck has some life left in it but it's an SR5 with 200k+ miles. If you got it for $3800 to $4000 I think you could do ok. Obviously you're not in love with it and you're not buying it for you which is a HUGE plus. Show up with $3800 cash and wave it in the guy's face. Once he deals with the usual craigslist *******s and tire kickers, he'll be much more willing to take the no hassle cash that you had in hand.

I'm guessing he already had a dealer appraise it as a trade in because he mentioned wanting to get the wife a newer 4runner. This is probably an attempt to get an extra $1-2k out of it.

There are a couple easy things you could do to make it nicer too. Get those headlights cleaned up, maybe $20? Black out as much of the frame/tow hitch/exhaust etc as you can with a few cans of spray paint - another $20 that makes it look ten times nicer. The cladding doesn't look too bad but the pics aren't great. For $20 you can get some of the wipe new stuff or whatever and make it nice and dark again. If you're really feeling froggy - get some white plasti dip and do the side view mirrors, the unpainted ones look cheap. Also, no pics of the interior but $50 spent on detailing the interior goes a long way. For less than $150, you could have that truck looking nice for the next buyer.

Its the cheapest 4th gen ive seen in tucson, and it has 4X4 which is a huge plus for selling here. Ive flipped a few cars in the past but none in arizona. I know i might need to register it and get insurance, but hoping to put no more then $300 into it with all that, and I think I could get high 5's for it when I go to sell it, so it all depends on how negoitable he is
