Which One Of You Suckers Is Going To Pay Over $32,000 For A 25-Year-Old Toyota 4Runner

$32K for a 3rd Gen 4Runner...low miles...

That's way too high for sure!!

That being said a Toyota 4R that was 24 karat gold would be worth around.....

$130,000,000!!!!!

10k to 15k for good shape less then 200k miles 3rd gens is fairly common. but on BAT they are going for much higher.

Top answer your question.... "Are 4 Runner worth thier weight in gold" The answer is..........There is a sucker born every moment!

What factors do you think contribute to the varying price range of 3rd Gen Toyota 4Runners, and would you personally consider paying a premium for one?

It's gotta be the present day market rate, not that I'm the most knowledgeable when it comes to that subject but it just doesn't make sense to me. In 2013 I bought my 2001 for $4800. At the time it had 191K miles on it. Nowadays people are listing theirs for a much higher price than that with higher mileage! It doesn't make a lick of sense to me at all.

FJ Cruisers and FJ80s are even more ridiculous

So maybe price compression? The cost of new vs the cost of used. When the new one gets too expensive people hunt for a better deal. That might be used and supply and demand drives up the price of used. Everywhere I look I see stuff about dealers can't sell the new cars they have. I see some pretty steep discounts being offered. So eventually that will catch up with the used market.
I'm not in market for ANYTHING right now. Buit watching. Real estate is going down around me as are used bike prices, and boat prices and RV prices. So I predict some buying opportunities in the not too distant future. especially for those with cash. You'll still pay the "toyota tax" but some people are ok with that.
