Does anyone venture to guess what the winning bid will be?

There are a couple of threads about that 4Runner on this forum already.

Doug Demuro just did a review of this 4runner the other day. It’s a friend of his

I bet it brings 30k.
There was a comment on line yesterday that this type of exposure brings a very broad audience and possibly people that will pay large to have it --- meaning out of mkt range prices? Whatever
There are no gen 3's in new england that are not falling victim to "frame rust". I had an 01 sport with a hole in the frame the size of your fist.......there was a guy that specialized in buying them and shipping them to Haiti. He had a team on the ground that would weld steel to the weak spots and sell them. It had 160k miles on it ran like a top and everything works, but I worried about safety as it was a daily driver for my daughter.

That is a amazing truck,but my Florida only rig has a much cleaner engine compartment,what's up with the positive battery cover off, black brake fluid rusted brackets, mine has over 200k looks cleaner...

I say it will sell for 30K. Bid right now is at $23,250.

 

[Devbot]

I'm betting closer to $40k. There was a very similar one with similar mileage a few months back that sold for like 41 or something absurd.

I'm guessing $40k. Strange how it has a leather interior although it's an sr5 model. :wacko:

 

[Dom8706]

What a informative video. I learned a few things about our rigs that I was unaware of. Like the head rest holders for the rear seat when they are down. Or what the hell those plastic pins in what I use to hold my sunglasses were for.

Very nice rig too.

Leather was optional on the SR5 models - and this was a "sport" with the wide flares, so it makes sense it was optioned up a bit. It would be a true unicorn with the rear diff lock - but as Doug said in the video, that's fairly easy to add.

I learned in that review that some pre-99 4Runner's got no side flares which was something I didn't know.

Very weird, never seen a sport/sr5 with leather before. Must be rare

No 15" wheel 3rd gen got flares, even the later years. Those were mostly 2WD's, so aren't very popular on the forums (though they are ALL OVER in southern states)

Even the 16" wheel 4Runners only had little chrome strips around the fender lip unless they were optioned with flares or were a Limited (which always got 16" wheels, along with the cladding).

It does seem the prices of the 3rd Gens are climbing. No way would I pay 30 or 40K for a 3rd gen. That is what most of these rigs cost new. Granted the purchasing power of the dollar is dropping quite a bit as of late. So we just have to wait and see what it goes for..:fishing:

 

[Endlessblockades]

Damn, the actuators move that glass with a perkiness I've never known.....

Im just here to say "F**K Doug Demuro" op2:

You mean factory installed wide flares right? There's plenty of 15" wheel 3rd gens that got the black plastic flares installed at port.

I'd be a bit surprised by that. The rear fender lips don't have the holes on the 15" trucks to mount the flares (I had to drill mine to add them). The front skinny flares bolt up just fine.

The door sticker almost always says 15" wheels, even on the 4R's that had 16" wheels - so don't let that confuse the issue.

And yet here I am, currently sitting in a 4R that has fender flares and 4WD and originally was fitted with 15in wheels...

Hopefully that's not based on the door sticker... Because unless it also had the small brakes (front discs/calipers and rear wheel cylinders) and 3.7 or 3.9 gears, it was a 16" wheel truck.
