Yea. No offense, but that isn't close to a realistic offer.

Your add'ons, fyi, to most people will tell them you have wheeled, which is extreme on components. You can't say I added X dollars into it, therefore I can add X dollars to the sell price. Not even close, not when 95% of people are looking for the most reliable purchase. You have stressed components and put it through out of the ordinary usage.

I am a large fan of the general "the car is worth what it is worth, let the market determine" response, as in, sell it for what you can sell it.

In this case, I can honestly say, 20k is an INSANE price. Insane. I have a 2005 v8 4x4 sport edition in almost perfect condition that I bought LAST YEAR for 12.5.

Your truck, same year, is not worth 20k. I would try 12k and understand that your modifications will remove 90% of people from considering it. The 10% that do roll up, most of those, like us, will know that a wheeled vehicle is a way to move the price DOWN. I am not going to spend market on a truck I know I will probably need to replace components.

It goes like this: You want to be the one who wheels in it, not the one that buys it wheeled.

:) YOu want to break it, not buy it broken. You can swear UP AND DOWN that it is in excellent condition, but the fact is.... you never know and people will assume you have used it out of the ordinary.

Honestly? 2wd? 10k.
 
idk the dealer offered to buy my 4runner for 19k i paid 18k for it 4x4 limited 2006 42k miles... i dont think whats he asking is way to much
 
Maybe you should take him up on his "offer". You'd have better luck selling the 4R to him instead of someone else that's knowledgable with 4R's or offroading in general 'cause they won't drop twenty large. Good luck noob
 
One word of advice....Change your tires & wheel spacers ASAP. If you want to sell your rig you need to make it more appeal-able to the masses. Get on CL and get some FJ/Tacoma/4runner take offs and then sell your 35s. Like others have pointed out, it looks like an off-road menace, no one is willing to spend more than $10k for that. Not sure how many miles you have on the clock, but I suggest you start around $15k (under 60k miles) and see if you can get lucky.

Also paint your red emblem black...red wont due well in the sale.
 
I wanna sell it for 20,000

WHAT!?!?

How about "a bah-jillion dollars"!

I just sold my 07 Tacoma 4wd double cab long bed for 20000, had 6 inch procomp suspension lift, 33" terra grapplers, 20" helo black wheels, nfab nerf bars. Good luck gettin 15000 for your 05 2wd.
 
HAHA. Yea. Sorry OP. No bashing, just some tough love from your fellow t4r owners. It is a hard pill to swallow to hear that your beloved truck isn't worth what you consider it to be.

Customization are a gamble. No one is exactly like you...


Hopefully, this will help you determine a more realistic price range.
 
Unfortunetly, I have to agree with the other members. You will not get close to your asking price for the vehicle as it stands.

There are a lot of factors to consider:

-The vehicle IS 7 years old, it may not seem like much but it does devalue the vehicle
-It is a 2WD, which depending on what part of Alabama may not be as desirable as a 4WD vehicle.
-Its an SR5, the SR5 label went down hill by the late 80's early 90's. SR5's are simply the base, bare bones option for the 4Runner. They were the most common and were not as expensive as a Sport Edition or Limited.
-You haven't stated how much mileage there is on the vehicle, this will greatly affect value of the vehicle.
-Your modifications can work both ways, unfortunetly most of the time it devalues the vehicle greatly.
-The vehicle itself was probably mid 20's to maybe 30k out the door when brand new, there is a lot of depreciation to factor in the 7 years of wear n' tear, modifications, and ownership.

I'm sorry to knock you down like that, if you get someone to pay 20 grand then more to you, but realistically your looking sub 14k if you're lucky.
 
I think if you put reasonable tires (265/70R17 ATs or stock size) & wheels on, remove the wheel spacers, and remove the revtek spacers you will be able to get a good price for it, but not as it sits. Very few people want a 2wd with 35s, especially 35" MGs, especially in AL where mud rules the trails and 2WD trail vehicles are almost useless. Plus if you remove all that stuff and hang on to it you can put it on your new 4R if you want to.

Central Alabama (T-town, Bham, & the Gump) LOVES 4runners and as such they sell for a lot around here. The local dealership offered my aunt $13.5K for mine ('03 Limited 2WD V6, 120K) 2 years ago when the KBB was $11.5K, and they told her she could probably sell it in her front yard for $15-15.5K.

From what I've seen around 80% of 4runners around here are 2wd and driven by women, so that's who you need to be appealing to unless you can find some high school kid who wants it because it looks cool.

Man, you got some tough love here, sorry. As gaterose said, the only way you are going to sell it as is, is if you find a HS kid whos in it for looks, you can try fishing that pond, maybe put up a flyer? Since you said you want another 4runner, just a 4WD, keep your mods and put it on a new one. (Hope you kept your old tires and wheels?)

Edit: and the women comment it very true, we have loads of 4runners up where I live, and they are all driven by women! haha
 
WOOOW, $20Grand for an 05 2WD???? :lol:
Maybe I should sell my 04 for what $30K ???

OP, if you you can get $20,000 for that, more power to you :guitar2: I wish you the best.
 
Guys, give the OP a break. Just viewed his profile, and it states that he is 18 years old. Kid probably doesn't understand the profit loss from adding mods onto your 4R and having 2WD. :(
