Why are the prices for a good 4runner so high? For example, I found one that NADA's and KBB's for right around 14k, but the owner is asking around 18k for it. I understand the whole supply and demand deal, but asking that much more for a vehicle that is a daily driver and doesn't have anything but wheels and tires done to it just doesn't make sense.

maybe its a deal of if it sells great and if not thats OK too.
I made my wife a promise that I'd sell a motorcycle last year when a new one followed me home. I procrastinated till late in the season the priced it HIGH. "Honest Honey, I'm TRYING to sell it"
had one guy that seemed really interested and I thought it was gonna sell. I found CL ad that showed a bike like mine only 2 years newer, a fraction of the mileage all for about 20% less than my price. I sent the buyer a link to that ad!!! ;-)

Very good deal! I just purchased my first 4 runner a 1999 SR5 with 206,000 and had to give 5200.00! One owner and babied though. Excellent shape!

Prices vary widely by region as well. A 99' SR5 3.4L auto in good shape in Vancouver (similar price in Seattle and Portland) may go for $5k with mods and or 5spd as much as $8K. On the East Coast that truck ranges from $1500 to $5K with no rust.

I was looking to buy a 2016 towards the end of last year. Told the wife that if I could get the car for the right price I was buying it, and if not then I'd just keep my paid off 2008 and put money into it. As far as pricing, the west coast was the best. I found the car I wanted and the price I wanted to pay for it in California and in Texas. I live in South Carolina and called every dealership just about from SC, NC, GA, and TN. Everyone was asking way too much. Especially towards the end of the year. Needless to say I ended up keeping the 08 and am loving the new upgrades and no car payment. But if I lived in Cali I'd be driving around in a new 16...
Never give what someone asks for either. They usually inflate the price because they know the buyer will usually try to negotiate down.

I was recently in the market for one before I finally found a clean one for a good price. I can tell you in the east coast, they hold their value pretty well and especially if the underbody is clean and not full of typical northeast rust. I seen many sellers asking above KBB value and ones that are reasonable and ask around KBB or little less get sold pretty quick. Best to be patient. Try autotempest.com. Pretty good comprehensive search.
