2007 4Runner price question

[cbamm14]

I am new to the forum but will hopefully be purchasing a 4Runner soon. I had a 95 and loved it.

I am looking at a 2007 SR5 with 40,000 miles at a dealership. It's in good shape except for the seats with have stains on them, but that's not a big deal. No navigation or anything like that. It has a moonroof and running boards - that's about it.

Dealer is asking right at 20k. I have looked at KBB, Edmunds and CR and think a fair price may be close to 16,500, but am not sure.

Does anyone have any advice they can offer. Thanks in advance.

If it's a 4X4 in good mechanical condition, and has never been in an accident, then I'd say $20,000 is a good price from a dealership. You can always haggle down though.

For that low of miles, if you can haggle down to the $18,000 range, then I'd think you'd be getting a great deal.

Oh, and welcome to the forums, and good luck!

Thanks for the reply. It's not a 4x4 but is in good condition.

$18,000 would be fine. Just wanted to make sure I am not getting taken for a ride. I'm in Mississippi. Not sure that matters too much price wise.

I'm not too sure how it works in warm climates, but from what I'm used to, the lack of 4X4 could be used by a buyer to haggle down the price a good deal.

X2. See how far they are willing to haggle down. That is really low mileage and sounds like a good deal but the vehicle is still 5 yrs old.

4x4 makes a difference for sure.

If you're on the Gulf Coast that sounds to be about the right price.

Hmmm, I think they are kinda high, too high for the year. I bought my '07 2WD in Pensacola in 2010, with 42,000 miles on it for $18K + taxes and fees. That was 2 years ago, when it was worth more. I definietly think you should work on talking them down, they are asking a bit much. And my interior was in great shape, not a single stain anywhere.

Good luck though and welcome to the forum!
