Question to sell or not to sell

i deliver pizzas in my 93 sr5 4runner and last night a customer asked how much for my vehicle
he told me he would only pay "blackbook" b/c bluebook is to high
from my understanding blackbook is the price a dealer would give you if you trade in
I just got ole blue at the end of July for $5400 and have already replace almost all of the alignment parts on her

If isold her id get a cheap car and a toyota 4X4 of somesort what do you think

Why would you pay less then you paid? Blackbook is the price a dealer will pay based on the idea that they will mark it up to make a profit. Thats why its almost always better to sell privately then trade-in when buying new. Not to mention that in the last couple years Toyotas have been demanding above their projected value.

Never sell for blackbook, Unless the vehicle is a piece of trash.
