Used car dealer. KBB puts it at 15.5 retail, they are asking 16.5:

70k miles, fairly clean
5 speed
black
no sports package
Not sure on the locker
CD player

does the sports package include the grey/carbon looking cluster or is that on all the 99s? Would I be lowballing if I stuck at 14.5-15k and wouldnt pay a cent more? Edited to add: Oh, and whats the deal with the hood scoop? was it an option on 99s?

Thanks guys,

Alex

Look on ebay and you'll get a very good idea of pricing.
Scoop hood only came with the sport package.....cluster I have no idea.

$14,500 would be my top dollar if it's 4wd. I only paid a little more than that for my '99 4x4 V6 5spd with 55k miles back in 2002. Sit on it for a while, they have a hard time selling 5spds. Hit them up on the last couple of days of the month and I'll bet they will deal more.

Very nice price. Ill do my best to talk them down. The only other 99 5 spd around here has 39k on it and they are asking 19,999 (dealer)

Did you buy yours from a dealer? does it have the grey faced gauges?

nm on that, found the FAQ



Thanks for your help!

is it 2wd or 4wd? i was in your position just a few months ago, i ended up buying a 99 sr5 highlander 2wd w/ 70k for 12,900. i would also look at the nada guide for pricing as well, because they vary between kbb and nada. also what other options are on it? as far as the hood scoop they came on the 99-02 highlander or sports package models only.

DravisAR

4WD. The other 99 5spd I just found has a sport package and a locker, 39k and asking 19,999!!! :pat: nuts

Considering my pricerange is 16k max, and I thought the M3s were overpriced, im going nuts here

gn86r

on that 99 w/ 70k heres the nada report on it..

1999

When I was shopping for my 4Runner, the sticker price was $12999 (w 150k miles!!) I got it down to $9600. Spotless, not a scratch, perfect condition.

$10500 out the door. I've yet to see a price like that on ebay for one thats ACTUALLY CLEAN.

I'm betting you can get out for about $13700, try it. The worst that can do is say no, then you say no- any the meet you halfway.

Have them throw in some pretty new black pearl emblems or something you really want. Although, it is harder to deal in merchandise on a used car.

I think a 150k truck may be a bit different because most people would worry how much life is left at 150k and what will need to be serviced (ie how big are the costs after I buy it). A 70k truck is something much more attractive to the general public and thus the price will be tougher to get them to lower the price because you will be competing against more people for the same truck. I love the high milage trucks myself and my next one will be high miles too because you get a huge price break for it. I also do fix all my own cars so it will certainly be more economic for me anyway.

According to my window sticker the sport package consisted of sport bucket seats, 265/70/16 tires, bigger brakes, 4.10 gears, etc.... it was a ~$3500 option. No hood scoop or dash gauges were in it.

44Runner

Dang, 15.5 for that? That means I was low balling my price on my truck as it is better equipped and has lower miles. Yet no one has jumped on it yet. You guys suck!

4RUNR

My bad, I just looked at the sticker again and it's not a sport package, just an upgrade package with the word "sport" sprinkled throughout. 3rd Gens look too pretty as it is, with a scoop they are total garage queens

I did buy from a dealer on the last day of the month-lucky me b/c he was looking to meet a sales quota. I do not have grey faced gauges, but I do have SR5, 5spd, 4wd, V6, power sunroof, leather, did not come with the locker (has one now though). I got the vin # and had a friend at a different dealership run it for me and it turned out that he had done all the service on it (Toyota dealer) since new-down to rotating the tires! After I found that out, I was eager to buy it. The dealer came off $2000 immediately and I offered $2000 less than that-he said no-I got up and started to walk out and he said OK. He was very eager to sell after I offered cash for the vehicle.

I agree with waiting until the end of the month. I got mine in the end of the month about a year ago. I left them after they didn't go low enough and they called and met me halfway again (sales were slow). These guys add 4000$ or more to the price so you should easily be able to lower the price. I bet the 4wd with 39K can go for under 16K. Also check out the TMV price on Edmunds, and don't pay more than private party they still got it cheaper in trade in and only did a simple check up.
