How much did you pay for your 3rd gen?

97 Limited w/RR Locker 155k $6000 2 weeks ago.

The "issues":

Driver seat needs some work.
A couple of minor scratches.
Possible minor rust issues. It was first sold in Minnesota and lived there for two years.

The day after I got I drove it from Fayetteville, AR to Nashville and the next day from Nashville to Daytona Beach. No issues.
 
$32,955.14 on June 29, 1999 for my manual '99 SR5. She's been DD for 110K and still going strong. Clock is dead, clutch exploded at 90K, and changed battery at seven years. Otherwise trouble free. I did first and 30K at dealer, otherwise all maintenance by me. Price is all in--value of check I wrote to drive out the door per Quicken search. Got the call a manual came in, closed over the phone and picked up and paid the following day. It was the color I wanted, too--Imperial Jade Green.

The '97Hilux I bought in Brazil was almost $50K due to import duties, but I don't have the records. Like all Brazilian dealers, they give you just enough gas to get to a station. Very annoying. Ex-wife still has it with about 260k km on it. Excellent machine.

I paid $10000 for my 99 limited last september. This is by far my favorite vehicle I've ever owned!

$5000 for my '97 Limited in April '08. 135K on it. Needed 2 tires and I recently changed the rear shocks. All in all, I'm very happy with it.
 
Just bought a 99 SR5, sunroof, factory racks, tow hitch, 4x4 V6, brush guard. Great interior. Exterior is nice too, but rear bumper is rusted maybe from pulling boat and backing into the water. There is also some other rust in the rear, but nothing too serious. I need to find replacement bolts for the fill and drain plugs on the rear diff and try to prohibit and protect the rear axle. 140k miles for $5700.
 
2001 Toyota Limited bought in June '03 with 25K miles on it. $17000. It now was 130K miles on it. Runs fantastic. Needs new rotors though. Had to replace the radiator on it 5K miles ago.

Runs fantastically.

Had a black 89 Toyota P/U 4x4 (22RE) that I paid $8989 for new that got me to 155K miles with no work to it either.

I love Toyota Trucks. Would never buy anything else. Ever.
 
I concur. I wouldn't sell my Limited for under $7500 right now. If it's in good mechanical shape, you got a very very good deal.

You can't get that much for under $5K it seems, especially with Toyota reliability.
 
Bought mine brand new in 1997. Sticker was $34,000 paid $31,000. Now has 128,000 miles on it and running strong. I have never bought a used car besides my 66' Mustang. We pretty much keep our cars till they die, so I figure I am getting my use out of them.
From the other posts on this thread, I can expect a good long life out of my 4Runner. That is good news with this sh....t economy!
