Chris' 4r has a fresh rebuild with new clutch and all accessories redone. Transmission seals redone. ZERO leaks. Suspension completely redone. The paint is weathered but is a solid zero rust desert truck with no accidents and very minor door dings. Straight. I suggested he carefully remove the weathered graphics, very gently block the car and put a satin clear on it to highlight the body's soundness. Interior is perfect. An SR5 with air and all the goodies. He could pay off his college loans.

This is crazy stuff.

This is a HORRENDOUS idea. PLEASE do NOT encourage anyone to massacre an original paint toyota (or original paint ANYTHING) in this manner.

Not sure why the drought of 4runners on BaT lately.
There are a couple nice original first gens to watch on ebay right now including a turbo.

Clean body! But that red interior is too red.

Well, considering it has the beloved options of "slap some por15 and undercoating on the frame, and a paint job that looks just good enough for photos" that people with more money than car knowledge so adore, i would say 20k plus. A person could almost make a full time big money business out of slapping cheap paint jobs and undercoating on old toyotas and putting em up for sale on that site..hmmm now that's an idea.

yeah, i don’t know how the supply of 4runners is in Velva, ND but here in New England you couldn’t find enough of them anymore to make it feasible.

i think right around $19k

A very blue 4runner that would benefit from minor work and detailing.

I see a lot of these 4runners with saggy rear springs. That seems like such an easy thing to fix before putting it up for auction. But maybe the sag makes it look more stock/ unmodified?

Those springs are a bit saggy, but not as saggy as they look. The front and rear wheel well openings are not level with each other. The front wheel openings are higher up than the rear, thus making the rear look more saggy than they really are.

perhaps the market is softening up on these. went for just under $16K. not that that's cheap, but it isn't $20K, either. still more than i'd pay.

yeah, i’m kind of surprised the seller let it go. The mileage may have been too high and there was a question about Carfax that may have cooled bidders.

it was a dealer, though. may have taken it as a trade-in, and had very little cash into it, so $16k is a profit.

i thought it had a chance of breaking $30k because it was so clean but i guess the high mileage held it back.
