Agreed, on the immaculate part. I respect the fact that they took care of it better than most, but not show grade. And not a price I'd be willing to spend.
I tend to watch for rust and evidence of collisions. I look at the hood/fender alignment, door gaps, the way the grille and clearance lights align with hood and fender, etc. I can deal with a grenaded engine, but bad body work and/or frame damage is a just a nightmare. And virtually impossible to remedy on your own.

Nice truck, not too far off from immaculate due to minor details - no rear seat hinge covers or seatbelt mount covers, rear faded carpet, ,gray door handle cups, b-pillar badges, who knows what’s under the dash carpet, and no engine photos. I think the 200k mileage could be a psychological barrier for a lot of potential buyers but the one family ownership and unmolested condition are advantages. I think if the seller is willing to negotiate, $16k9 is not a bad place to start but I’d address those foibles.

fwiw, i like the rear seat fabric/door card fabric, and it's the same type as in my #1 '87. another plus (to me) is the manual windows and vent windows, while i am less of a fan of the auto hubs. the tailgate carpeting is thicker than oem, can't tell whether the original fasteners are still there.

This one would benefit from a bit more attention to detail and photos that weren’t taken in the dark!

That's a beauty, the undercoating on the frame I don't like,, I can see the rusty spots in several pics, like it was applied in a hurry for pictures. Rest of it looks really nice, I even like the trd rims. At 13k seems like a good buy, I'm sure it will go much higher though.

while i think there’s not much to worry about with respect to the grubby underside, any visible rust seems to scare buyers. On the other hand, it does have a soft top which most we see here do not have, and aftermarket rims do not seem to be as popular as stock, so i’m going to guess $18,500.

it must have been the color and the soft top.

That being said...no way is that a 25k example in my opinion. There’s just too much “wrong” with it as mentioned in some of the comments. One of the things that really bugs me is that this is a power package truck and though he replaced the door cards with decent ones, manual windows on an otherwise fully optioned, power package truck was not the right way to go.

Is it OK to say... I told ya so!
the video he showed along with all the receipts.
89 V6 Manual... top dollar
although I agree it's not going to bring what an emaculate, unrestored one will bring.

the good news is... this is good for those of us that own 1st gen 4 runners. Hagerty predicted these getting very collectable and they are. The down side is that parts are getting stupid expensive as well as others restore their 4runners to cash in.
