What did you pay for your 1st gen?

Thanks - sent you a pm.

 

back on topic, payed 10.5 for mine about 2 years ago.. didnt have time to wait for that diamond in the rough, i picked up a 99 4x4 supercharged in immaculate condition and havent regretted a penny of it... plus here in cali these trucks demand a premium, i see 100+ 2wd for every one 4x4 around here.. sure i might have over payed but so far its the best moneys i have ever spent..

 

1997 xtra cab. 4x4, 3.4L v6 with 5 speed manual. Roughly 265,000km when I bought it. Had rust above the rear wheels which I fixed with a wire brush, spray foam, a razor blade, and sand paper. Fabricated new gas tank straps and put those on. Welded the cracked frame and passed safety inspection with flying colours. When you can do the labour yourself and fabricate some minor parts at home you can save some change in your pocket for other things. In my case I bought wheel spacers and put on aftermarket rims. Payed a total of $400

I paid 9800 for my 01 std cab auto 4x4 with 108k super super clean 8 months ago. I was looking for about 6 months and all i found was rusty or way overpriced junk (or 5spds lol)before i found it. it had to be an auto, i drive for a living and told myself id never own another manual vehicle again lol.

 

2002 Prerunner TRD SR5 2.7 double cab, 106k bad interior and paint. Stripped interior and made brand new and clayed and buffed paint. Good as new. $9k

 

99 2.4 salvaged 80k ugly wheels and far from clean paint, clean interior $3k in 2012

98 2.4 clean title 166k clean interior good/ok paint $3500 last month

 

I paid $6K for my '02 dblcb
High mileage 272K miles but has had great service records kept showing maintenance done by last 2 owners.
Kids just drove it to Las Vegas, got 21mpg, runs like a raped ape

 

I bought a 1995.5 a few days ago for $2,000. It's a 2.7L 4x4 with 133,000 miles.

 

going to look at a 98 ext cab sr5 AT 4x4 orig. owner tomorrow to replace my current 94 std cab 4x4 (22re with only 98k!). Anyway he doesn't have it listed yet and priced it at $14,500. Looks like new but I'll know more after I drive it. He is an older gentleman and says he just did the 60k mi. maintenance early (what does than mean exactly I'll have to find out) and put new BFG's on it.

Hoping to get it bought for $13,500. Am I nuts?

 

well last year I bought a 99 sr5 auto with 2wd for $5k even with 120k miles on it so yes I think your crazy to pay that but if you think its worth it that's all that matters.

go to Kelly blue book and see what its real value is because that's all the insurance company will give you if it gets wrecked

 

2004 Extended cab, 4cyl, manual transmission, SR5 with 136,000 miles. Paid $6400, but had to replace the front bumper and the windshield.

 

<--- This one bought new in 2003. Paid $22.5K.

 

I paid $9000 for my 99 extended cab v6 auto 4X4 SR5 TRD with 138000 miles in excellent condition in 2005. NADA says it is now worth $10,500 10 years later with 212000 miles, still in excellent condition.
