Will since my runner was stolen, i have been keeping an eye on craigslist for my truck as well as a 2nd gen for less than 6k (by the way why do poeple try to list a 92 4runner with 250k mi for $8999?) any who, i found this little tresure...

i don't get it, sure it has a new engine, but 5500? Why do people think they can sell their trucks for over 2x blue book?

 

That amount of sag has got to rise the price some. Helps prove the point that it is a genuine Yota.


On a more realistic note, they probably just dumped close to 3K into the engine, and they want to make all that back plus the actual worth of the truck.

 

Sometimes it seems that people see one truck sell for a certain amount and figure theirs has got to be worth more than the previous one.

Linuxrunner: sorry to hear about your truck..I am out in Beaverton and am always trolling craigslist for stuff for my '81, if you want PM the info on your truck and if I see something I can let you know...

Not sure if the mileage is right, but this doesn't look too bad:

where i live they just passed a law "no sagging" well, for pants anyway

 

Hey LinuxRunner...sorry to hear about your truck. If you have not heard about it try using CraigsHelper.com. It really helped me locate a good deal no my 4runner. (95's limited, leather, power everything, 112K, no rust in the paint....all for $3,800)

 

Blue book isn't always accurate - especially on items like the FJ40 and 1st gen Broncos. The 1st gen 4runner is going to go that way eventually..

The price on that runner was pretty darn high, but a 1st gen in good condition in TX, even with 200k miles can sell well into the 3000-4000 range.

 

Anybody know if they even made 94,95 4runners with the 22re? I cannot find any for the life of me, plenty of 90,91's tho

 

They sure did. I have one. They seem pretty hard to come by in some areas though.

 

You my friend are very lucky, i would suggest holding on to that thing... Unless you are looking to sell...

by the way what kind of MPG to you get with the 2nd gen body?

 

5500 for a non rusty (or even a sumwhat rusty) 1st gen is good in my area (vancouver canada). So it just depends on the area. Sumtimes i wished i lived in the states thats for sure lol

 

they get snapped up like hot cakes. and the people that have them do not sell. everybody is trying to avoid the 3 slow like yourself. 94,95 is still in the daily driver range while 90,91's are starting to be rough for daily driving. mike

 

Everyone thinks there POS is worth it's weight in old.
I've seen rusted beyond repair first gens going for thousands, it's stupid.

It's exactly the same with Jeeps too.

 

They sure did. I've got one also.

People ALWAYS ask more for a vehichle than its worth....Its worth whatever someone is willing to pay

 

sometimes I just shake my head .. some of you guys have been reading Pirate to much .

who cares what the blue book .. or black book says.. what ever ... it is worth what people will pay . think this Mojave https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f114...ghlight=mojave in this post is only worth $600.00 -$800.00 ? I think NOT .. I have a feeling when and if he ever sells it , it'll be worth a whole lot more then that .

Thing is .. muscle cars are popular because most of the people driving up the prices , were guys who drove them when they were young , and got rid of them . or guys who couldnt afford them nice ones in the first place , and now they want them again .. and now can afford them .

I personally think toyota 4x4 trucks will one day be there as well .. seeing as how popular they have been since hitting the market in 1979.
just my 2c

 

I've got a twin turbocharged boat for sale.
NADA says it's worth $2500... :-)

 

Good Price, but It's gotta be Salvage title. It says that it just passed an inspection, and look at the price, too good to be true.

 

well I have just learned that it dose not matter what you pay for a truck don't pay more than what insurance will payout if your truck gets totaled the next day.

lucky for me I payed just the right amount for my 4runner

so when buying a stock truck or 4runner find a average price and don't pay more than that.

 

good points, but i don't compare a 94-95 toyota 4runner with a collectors car (around here anyway) i understand that some places they are hard to find in good condition thus the high prices. But this does not seem to be the case around here, yesterday a guy claimed his 93 was worth 1500 more because it had a 22re, i agree re's are harder to find in 2nd gens, but not 1500 harder.
