Where should I set asking price on 87' Runner?

That truck looks nice from 10'. I'd pay $2900 for it from 10'.
Thing is the frame - and possibly the body where it's starting to rust. If the rust is pitted / flaking, that's a big problem long term... It'd be a nice looking $2000 (or less) truck.

I think I'm going to have to back off the price. I know that here in the KC area, there are zero 4Runners for sale for the most part. The ones that are for sale are either total rust buckets (selling for $1500+) or not even close to stock.
When I bought it 3 years ago, the price seemed right ($4000), especially for its condition.
Kinda makes me want to just keep it, but I really need the dough.

I would pay whatever insurance would pay for it if they where to total it after a accident I could see it selling for around 2500$ to 3000$ here if you found the right buyer.
other wise you would get 1500$ to 2000$ depending on how bad that rust is and what rust is hiding and waiting to pop out.

It sucks to lose any $ on a vintage rig though... That truck is in amazing condition for its age, really good. At $4k, you might have paid a higher-than-market price, $3k range is pretty common for a decent first-gen. To me, the SR5 adds a LOT to the desirability!! Unless you are upgrading... why not just keep it and drive your money out of it!! I almost sold Whitey last year, but I got lucky, and didn't. Now, I dont think I'll ever sell him.

Too much rust for your asking price. I bought my 85 runner w/22re for $1400 no rust at all and a perfect body, all it needed was a head gasket, then I bought my second 85 fuel injected runner for $3600, lifted, detroit locked front and rear only one dent in the body and no rust at all. I know yours is newer but demand for the 84-85 is higher and I paid less than your asking price for those. I'm not in your area obviously but I don't think anyone would pay 4k for your truck unless they were a real sucker. Even if the body is great it won't help much when the frame falls apart.

However, I may be one of the few that think it is a good deal. Maybe I'm biased, like many of you on here; I think the rig is solid, and in damn fine condition for being over twenty-years old, and certainly worth at least $3000.
