Appreciate the feedback.

The market right now is very location dependent. Though it is fair for my neck of the woods (TX right now) others like you said are a bit inflated, but if you like you'll buy it! There was a 03 GX470 with 95k local here and was sold within a day online from someone from CA, didn't even get a chance to drive it.

Rough Trade-In $4,475
Average Trade-In $5,375
Clean Trade-In $6,100
Clean Retail $8,600
Based on that the most it would be worth is $8600. Me personally I never pay clean retail for anything. About 8 months ago I bought an 05 V6 SR5 4X4 with pretty high miles, (263K) but in fantastic shape. Granted it's a V6 and it has a LOT more miles but it is 2 years newer and it really is in excellent condition. Even had almost new Geolander tires on it. I paid $3000 for it. For me, they'd have to get down to around $7500 or I'd walk. But that's just me. Good luck either way.

While I agree its not a smokin' deal I do think its fair, based on the above. After browsing awhile (CarGurus, cars.com, autotrader and local classifieds) its pretty tough to find low mileage 4x4's that are within the average asking retail price. Maybe its about waiting and finding the right deal, but the "Toyota Tax" is heavy on these 4runners and Tacomas it seems. I appreciate the input.

Some areas 4r have a lot more value than others, but regardless seems like a good find
Hard to believe it’s 17 years old, but yea should be solid if everything checks out

I agree with you on this, it does seem very location dependent. Though with how easy it is to buy and either fly out or ship vehicles now it does seem like the overall market is tough for the V8's and 4x4, then again they don't make an engine like that anymore!.
