Fair pricing for a used 2nd gen 4 cylinder?

Hello, I just opened an account because I am on the hunt for a 2nd gen tacoma for a work truck. However I have seen a lot of ridiculously priced Tacomas on Craigslist, OfferUp, AutoTrader, Facebook Marketplace. Some examples I've seen are a 2008 Tacoma with about 200K and asking $13K. Or a 2010 with slightly over 300K and asking $10K. Again these are the most extremely priced I've seen so far. I have seen other decently priced Tacomas but a lot of them are over 150K and made me question what would be a fair price for a 2nd gen Tacoma with between 100K-150K? I know I can go to KBB and get a general answer but I want to know from the enthusiasts. And to be specific, a 2nd gen with the 4 cylinder. Thank you for your time.

 

Bad time to be buying a vehicle right now.

 

#1 rule in car buying: cash talks. Prices are high for these trucks right now so if you can get good, low-interest, private financing first if you need it and then go locate and negotiate, you will save some. I saved almost $6K by paying cash. Not all deals will be that good but you will save some, generally speaking.

 

I got my rc work truck for a steal 3k 2010 with 200k miles 4x4 5 speed everything works I love the lil truck.

 

Wait about 6 months before buying.

 

Down my way. Just checked average is from 16k -23k for 4cyl dcsb 90k-130k miles.

 

That poor guy didn’t know what he had or needed money really really bad.

 

I recently bought a 2013 5 lug ACab auto for 18900. 46k miles. Issue is they are hard to find. A different local dealer had a 2001 base access cab 2wd with auto trans (2.4L motor) and they were asking 13995. I think it did finally sell but that truck was kinda beat up and 20 years old. Of course dealer knew they had something special with a 1st gen. Good luck on your search like others said I would try and wait but prices may not come down.

 

I feel your pain. I was looking for a 2nd gen Taco for over a year. I ended up having to expand my search area and found one...but had to drive 3.5 hours away to get it. It's a really tough market right now. I agree with @lynlan1819 above...best to wait and see if prices return to a more reasonable level. If they go up more...this county is in real trouble.

 

This is such a sellers market for used trucks right now, I'd just wait it out.

 

Lol it was a case of needed some tlc and he’d rather sell it low rather than fix a few things and clean it up.

 

I have a 2013 Tacoma SR5 Access Cab 4 cylinder AT with about 55K miles in excellent condition that I am considering selling since I hardly use it anymore.
Have been curious as to a reasonable asking price for this vehicle. Any thoughts?

No such thing as fair pricing. All of us when we sell ask the absolute highest price we think/hope we can get. Buyers offer the lowest price they think they can get. Many things affect the cost of vehicles. Right now is a sellers market, bad time to be buying new or used vehicle.

 

Found 2 both listed at 22k

 

Is it 4X4 ? Probably the most important info that you've left out................

 

My best friend sold his 16 AC 4x4 SR 4 banger in 10 minutes on FB marketplace. KBB out the window.
Our trucks were great resale prior to low inventory now it is insane.

 

Yes it is a 4x4.

It is nuts these days. Not sure what’s going on but I don’t like this trend. In 1999 I paid 3500 for an 88 4Runner ( 22re motor with 5 speed, not rusted out) with 150k miles. Those days are over

 

if U meet a guy private sale...........thats NOT tryin to bend U over

U might get a good deal

as U already KNOW the market New/Used is crazy blown up

U might be better off to wait ................
