72k Miles, 3rd Gen

[TravisM]

Just saw this ad pop up...

If anyone is looking to drop 15k on that, go ahead. 72k miles. In my opinion, you might as well just get a newer generation. Ive seen 5th gens go for that much hwell:

What are your guy's thoughts on this and the price?

 

[trailbikerider]

That is stupid money, I don't care if it has 72,000 miles or not.

Agreed. You could get a 2016 Corolla for that much money. Plus, nothing special has been done to it. Couldn't ever spend that much, even if it was in pristine condition

Too high priced.

In my experience across many different vehicles, if miles don't run an auto down, Time will. So it'll still need maintenance and repairs. Luck and enjoy runnin'. :cowboy:

Check out this bad boy. Turbo diesel Hilux, manual, stock.... beautiful. The only part that I do not like is the steering wheel on the wrong side

If it was that, or the one I posted, I'd have to go with that. Old, beautiful, and basically a collectors item, correct?

If this is the way the market is headed, I might be able to turn a profit after all if I ever sell my 3rd gen.....

My brother few years back got his 2007 4th gen at 100k miles for $17k out the door. No reason to spend that on a truck this old. The age hurts it more than the mileage.

Colorado has its own market for 3rd gens....a heavily inflated market.

Hey look only 72k! Better jump on that cuz we all know 3rd gens aren't known for their longevity and most never last past 150k and all the ones on craigs with 180k for 6k are total garbage derelict junk vehicles. :drum:

As already stated by Jayrolla, the truck is old and the residual value will be almost equal as a 150K 4Runner. You'd have to be completely bonkers to pay that. I would take the $15K and buy a GX470 or a 100 series LC.

Just picked up a 98 limited with e-locker in great shape w/117k for 8800.
West coast rig its whole life. Zero rust. Zero

It better have the max amount of high quality pictures for that price.
I can't knock the guy for trying. When it comes to the value of a rig, it's all dependent on who is looking to buy.
I hate the "what's my rig worth" questions, because there is really no right answer- it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay.
"You could get a newer generation for that price"
Okay, but is that what you want?
When I'm looking for a vehicle, I know exactly what I want; I don't say "I want a 4Runner- what's the newest 4Runner I can get for $10k?"
I'm sure not everyone does things just like I do, but I also know many people do.
I'm sure the seller won't get $15k, but he just might get $12-13k.

This was my experience as well. 3rd gen 4Runners must be the new YETI in Colorado. I was recently looking for a 3rd gen for our son's first vehicle and several potential vehicles popped up in the Kansas City area. Many that I inquired about were snatched up quickly by people from Colorado due to what they considered low prices. Almost every single one had rust issues underneath, they obviously didn't care.

:lmao:

In my area, occasionally I'll see some well cared, low mileage, stock 3rd gens got for 7500 range.

$15k is bonkers

Sadly thats true. Everyone who is a mountain lover and doesn't want a Jeep turns to Toyota. Plus the 4WD helps a lot, as well as good base clearance .

For $15k he could at least grab some silver rattle can and paint the wheel center caps...

 

[Technoplasm]

mine had 74k and i got it for $5500 in near perfect condition in NJ :zoom:

That's luck... How long ago was that?

Nice find! a little overpriced but I guess it depends on who is looking.
