New 97 4Runner owner in Phoenix
Hey everyone. I just bought this 97 4Runner because I wanted a 4X4 that could take me to all the places I go on my Dual Sport motorcycle. I plan on keeping it for a long time and I hope it takes me to the most remote corners of Arizona hopefully the surrounding states.

I'll be honest, I feel like I spent way too much on it, but prices for these trucks in Arizona seem to be really high. 212,500 miles, NO rust, mint interior, everything works but the sunroof, NO paint on the roof at all. The sun has eaten it off.

I paid $4,700...which seems like a lot to me.

Toyota's Keep Their Value
Paying 4,700 for your 97 is under the KBB price. I sold mine for 3,000 to my roommate though because she had so many miles on her.

Take good care of her! They're reliable vehicles!! Hence why I bought another but 2011.

I love the color you got though. Mine was a sandy color. I recently just replaced the side marker light for my roommate.

Looks well taken care of I'd say worth the price to me. I plan to take mine down to AZ sometime to visit family and hit some trails as well later this year. Nice find! Any plans to do anything to the roof? I was thinking of vinyl wrap to protect my roof from scratches from snowboards etc.. that might work for yours too?

I've been thinking I'll probable have it repainted eventually, but I haven't considered a vinyl wrap on it.

I like this color a lot too. It has a tan interior which is one of my favorite color combinations for a vehicle.

Welcome and hello

Another Phoenician here with a certified rust-free AZ 4Runner. My 2 cents, you did not overpay. Especially if you scored a diff e-locker. If not, and the rig is pretty clean and rust free, then I think you got a good deal just the same.

My 4Runner has reliably taken me everywhere I've wanted to get to so far in Arizona. Yours should do the same with a little trail prep.

Good luck and cheers on a clean looking 3rd gen!

Who had "so many miles", the runner or your room mate?
