Guess you can say trend is continuing in the new year, people willing to pay.
Place your bet's lady's and gentlemen.

I guessed a little high, but ~$16k isn't surprising, even with the flaws. If a citizen of the Rust Belt is the winning bidder, they may have not seen one this clean in years. And looking for a really clean Gen3 is getting very difficult anymore. They may have plans to clean up the flaws and make it really good. It isn't really a bad truck to start with.

Yep, that's right around where I thought it'd go for (said 15k). It's completely the trend I've been seeing in the past year... with their prices going up. Seems like folks are willing to pay for older, but more reliable technology that still looks decent. I'm going to say, in the next 5-10 years, don't be surprised if these are the next Broncos and Landcruisers.
EDIT: it's really funny though, with 207k miles, rusted undercarriage and rear axle, pretty much a base model, no lift kit, no moonroof. I mean, really, this was a 4k truck, with maybe 4k in upgrades (supercharger). So in the end, the seller probably made 7k off of this! Not bad for a quick turnaround product. Problem is, they're getting rarer and rarer to find in decent condition (which this was, minus the rust), so that helps elevate the cost. Makes me want to pick one up locally, modify it and see what happens, lol!

I was just thinking the same thing. So I don't mind investing in it. It's when you start putting repairs and upgrades on a car that will only see 20-50% returns on that, where it's frustrating.
I didn't ever think the 4runner would go UP in value when I bought my 00 ten years ago, so that's a pleasant surprise. I really intended just to mod and maintain it and drive it, didn't really care much about value. But now that it's worth a bit more (like double what I paid), I'm almost scared to drive it, lol.

It depends.
You WILL pay for the cleaning and it takes time to dry.
Most places will shoot right over if they use black stuff because you can't see anything.
Best bet is a total DIY, if not... YOU flush the inside of the frame and power wash the outside with a wider angle nozzle, then take it within the next day or two provided it hasn't rained.

You seem to be the closest without going over.
Go play the Mega Millions tonight.
And tomorrow is Powerball.

That looks like a nice rig!
I see the hammer fell under $16K.
I'm looking for a similar 1999 rig, but without a supercharger. Not sure how long it will take to find.

true enthusiast right there. its essentially brand new i think its worth it as a collector and they'll never make em like that again. you can still drive it a bit too without losing value. vehicles like thar as time goes on will only appreciate and be more appreciated.

I'm beginning to think some people have too much money. I hope auto companies get back to full production soon because I'm sick of competing with rich family buyers who would usually buy new vehicles.
4x4 SUVs from the 80's-00s were always going to become collectible, but this pandemic accelerated that trend. I'm not thrilled.
