Let's see the Most Expensive 1st Gens 4 Sale

I'd think that'd be more in the $7-8K range around here. It'd have to be pretty clean.

 

The sad thing is that I would still be very interested cause it is a 4wd white double cab

 

get a load of this!! i just dont see it. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/cto/6040675893.html

 

It has a lot going for it, especially the mileage. But ya, that's going to take a very motivated buyer to pay that. Throw in a factory super charger and headers and it might be a little more reasonable. Still a lot though. Would it be cheaper to convert a clean PreRunner to 4x4?

This seems like a good deal: https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/6020123608.html

 

thats only like 4k less than MSRP. for a 13 year old vehicle?? i would love to have that and i know double cab 4x4 are super hot right now but thats just insane-o

 

yeah the link u posted seems pretty nice. still it's just crazy how much these 1st gens are going for. i paid 12,600 for a single owner OR DC with 118,500 miles. i put like 3k into it too.. and i was squirming

 

I guess the market will decide what it's worth. The buyer might have a hard time convincing their bank it's worth that much though. As long as there are people willing to pay top dollar, we'll keep seeing those prices.

I paid 12K for mine three years ago with 96K easy miles on it, but I bought it from my girlfriend. I thought that was a fair price for both of us. Never even saw a dirt road until I got it. Five more payments and that baby is all mine.

I've mentioned this in other posts, but I met a guy last year that drove 2.5 hours to pick up a low-mileage '04 TRD DC (almost identical to mine, cap and all) and dropped $18K, and that was after talking the seller down. It was what he was looking for and he had to pay to get it. I think he said it had 80-something thousand miles on it.

I have to think all those rusted out frames aren't helping keep market value down. One reason why these 1st gens are so pricey out here.

 

True. I see tons of PreRunners.

 

SoCal even more so, not that I can really hold it against people. Hardly any need for 4wd here unless you're into it recreationally, then there's TONS of use for it lol.

 

Adjusted for inflation that truck would have been easily over $30k today though. But still, crazy money.

 

I think 1st gens have highest resale value in car industry. and yeah like 30-32k adjusted for inflation, but im not sure i get ur point about that? what does inflation have to do with that?

 

I bought my 04 xtra cab 4x4 2.7 as my first truck about a year ago in NC. Still have it but it had 89000 when I bought it. Paid 11500. Around here that's about as good as the price gets even on a 2.7 non trd. Everything else I found on Craigslist or car lots were even higher with more miles. Bought mine off an old guy after I saw a for sale sign on the truck in a food lion parking lot.

 

Seriously, what the hell are people thinking? Even if the guy is able to get that much from someone who doesn't know any better, he should be ashamed.

 

i paid 17k for a 04 ext cab TRD OD 4x4 with 45k from a single owner, pricey but she was asking 19.5 originally. cali truck with zero rust.

 

Super Gem !! low miles , no rust .... very lucky !

 

from my experiences with vehicles that have sat even a few months I will never buy one that has not seen at least 8k and preferably 10k a year
unless it is a classic and I don't plan to drive it other than for show.

 

This was just posted down the street from me. Decent mileage, but still up there for a non-TRD Prerunner. Not to mention the dent on the passenger rear quarter

they have a pic of the odometer but i cant see it . it seems too good to be true. if it is for real, thats a good deal.

 

It looks like 6 digits to me

 

yea I see 6 digits
