Price check on a 4runner

Daughter is looking at a 1999 4runner,v-6,M/T, 261 k miles,guy has a few upgrades and some new parts.
Seller is asking $10,000,but here is the catch its a savage title,seller says hail damage caused the salvage.
What do you all think about the price ?

 

Wouldn’t touch it. Plenty of 1999 4Runners out there without a salvage title, less mileage and cheaper.

 

Seems high. That's 4th gen prices.

 

Offered the seller $7,000 he said no thanks,savage title and 261k, I thought $7k was reasonable.

 

He may get it, but it wouldn't be from me. I wouldn't give more than 4K tops for a salvage title 3rd gen.

 

If the seller was smart he should have taken you up on that offer for a salvage I still think that’s high.

 

I was real nice too him,but he thinks he is sitting on gold mine with it being an M/T .
I wished him luck in his sale.
He said he has $7k invested in new parts,which didnt add up,I told him even so its still a salvage title.

 

Yeah. Well he’ll be kicking himself later on cause you offered him a good deal.

 

Just as a frame reference I paid $500 for a 99 4runner salvaged title with 217,000 miles on it. Granted it has front end damage but its only cost me $320 to fix it. Less then a Grand and its a quality 4runner.

 

That was a great deal.

 

Man, I definitely should have kept my 4R. I wrecked a 99 v6 MT with 150-160k and accepted the insurance offer to total it back in 2014. If I had known I could just repair it and sell it for 10 grand 7 years later I would have definitely kept it. Although honestly, my biggest regret is not just keeping it in the first place just as a back up/fun vehicle.

 

" It's a salvage title from hail damage"

 

The seller is still trying too sell it,he is not getting 10k for a salvage or a clear title with 261,000 miles on it.
I looked up the value online for the miles and condition and the truck is worth $3,000.

 

There is a 4runner for sale in the ads section here on TW with less miles for $6,500 clear title,and its unsold,Colorado truck.

You have four RED FLAGS. Pass on this one.

 

The seller sold it for 10k,somebody thought it was worth it.

 

I'm not surprised. There are too many who don't use their brain well.
