Best way to gauge market value for 3rd gens?

I think you need a supercharged 5-speed E-locker to attain ultimate unicorn status. 2000 was the last year of the 5-speed.

The ultimate unicorn (IMO) would be a code A05A 4.56 geared, 5-Speed w/elocker. Rare as hen's teeth though.

Honestly, I prefer Auto for wheeling. It's far too tiring to be pushing the clutch in and out for hours. I averaged 1.8 mph over 6 miles for a little over 3 hours on my last 4x4 trip when we were actually on the trail..

Sure would like a supercharger for a little more juice though.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I considered swapping from auto to manual, but after driving my brother's manual tacoma for a couple days I realized I'm way to lazy for a manual daily driver. Manuals are fun to drive, but it get's tedious at a certain point for me.

Raleigh here.

Betcha he will get at least 8k for his 120k mile truck. Could get $10k if he sits on it long enough.

What I've noticed about 4runners in our area is that 90% of them are clapped out rags. If they're clean at all, they sell before you even see the post.
You can get a 4runner on the cheap around here, but after thousands of dollars in maintenance, might as well just pay $8k for one like OPs and be done.

Definitely for one with mileage that low and clean. Also if you aren't interested in wrenching on them yourself then things are gonna add up quick. You wheel at all in the area?

Hello All,

Unfortunately, Life is changing and forcing me to part ways with my 3rd gen.. It sucks because i've been a longtime lurker and finally created an account not long ago :-( These trucks are very unique in their values and the price variances out in the marketplace. My issue is trying to determine what a lower mileage unit is worth among a sea of 200k+ mile 3rd gens. I have a 1997 and have noticed that there aren't a lot of those out there, especially in the south (North Carolina area). Most of what I see are 1999 and above (mid cycle refresh models) and they seem to be pretty beat up and well used.

Thanks!

BaT Bring a Trailer talk with them, life has it's unfortunate times make the most of it. 3rd Gens through the roof for good ones.
