Future value of the 1st Gen 4runner???
Have you noticed the value going up or down in your area for 1st Gens? In 5 - 10 years down the road, do you think our runners will increase in value much? While they are getting older and rustier, they still aren't making anymore of them!

Yeah, they're going up. Their ceiling is limited by the FJ40, which has already established itself as THE collectible Toyota 4x4, but as the FJ values keep climbing the early 4Runners will rise in price too.

Most definitely, just in the past 5 years since I got my 1st gen I've seen local prices skyrocket, and the trucks aren't even that clean, yet people are buying em up.
My wife has tried to talk me into selling the 1st gen....nope never ever ever |
They can ask whatever they want, I'll never sell my 4Runner!

a beat to crap 4Runner will still be a beat to crap 4Runner IMO
a recent check of the PDX craigslist showed prices all over the map. $12K 76K orginal miles one owner https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/5928665499.html personally i would have a hard time paying $6k for this one, https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/5970987306.html though it it is well set up a well taken care of 4Runner will increase in value |
Not much love for them in my area, they usually are suffering from a lot of rust. I'd like to think mine is worth more than what I paid for it in non running condition a couple years ago. I don't see these ever commanding FJ40 money, but who knows. The last few years there's been a few near perfect 1st gens go through the auction scene and get in the mid teens.
And then there's this guy that's been listed at least 3 times in the last year and not sell (though the auction closed at "SOLD" last time but here it is again). 1987 Toyota 4Runner SR5 | eBay |
Location will be the key in its asking price. Here in FL, the price has climbed up steadily in the past 10 years, especially the 84-85 ones.
The last minty 85 with 22RE 5 speed that I saw went for $7K easily, after being listed for less than 2 weeks. And that was over a year ago. Now, an IFS 4 cyl. one in fair condition would be around $3.5-5K and a clean, unmolested one would fetch $5.5-6K all day. Remember that we don't have rust problem down here though. And of course a V6 will get about $1-2K less, depending on condition. |
On the plus side: The removable top is exclusive to the 1st gen, along with being simple and a reputation for being tough trucks. They look classy and are fun to drive.
On the down side: They rust easy, slow as molasses, aren't real family friendly with the 2-doors, The price for the abused and neglected still hover around 2 grand, but the nicer stock or tastefully modded one seem to be climbing to the 5 - 10 grand range. The nicer ones are getting hard to find! PS: I suppose everyone's heard the rumor about the 2018's having a removable top right? :bash: |

Subscribe to BringATrailer.com They've gone to running an auction service and there are always old Toyotas on there. I just did a search
4runner | Search Results | Bring a Trailer And the two 1st Gens they show as completed auctions went for over $14k. Prices for nice 4Runners can only climb. |

However, if i were to sell I would not let mine go for under 6K, knowing exactly what I put into its reliability. |

I don't think they can make a removable top anymore I'm sure it would be hard to pass highway safety standards.
