He doesn't, because he can't... (unless you drive to LA...lol)
PS. I' prolly just grumpy from being stuck in a dang hospital bed for over a MONTH now...
Ignore meeeee...
It's not a big deal...
Yeah. Kind of why I posted particulars, maybe save someone a needless trip unless they are ok with issues at hand.
You won't find super cheap prices at a vendor for those bumpers. I did find a steal on mine through Amazon. Front ARB for around $400, free shipping. It was sold as "damaged". It wasn't. The box was torn up pretty bad, but the shrink-wrap was perfect. I can't tell you how happy I was when they didn't drop a pile of broken metal in my driveway.
Doubt those deals come along often, but you might want to set up a search in Amazon and see if something comes up. They did at least once.

A lot of dealers use KBB to determine values.
NADA is the standard but most dealers when buying trades use the "black book" which goes off auction sales.

@ auction too.
When you think about what replacement parts cost, if it's in generally decent shape (even if the engine and drivetrain were shot), I bet you could part out a 2008 for well over $15k.
One thing I noticed when looking around is that a lot of low mileage trucks in the NE were NYC cars. Not that I have anything against NYC per se, but 60k NYC miles is like 120k highway miles, so don't always assume low mileage means it has more life left than a higher mileage vehicle.
How do the lx Mannheim compare?
Will ask my friend for a screenshot but may be Monday.

That's some amazing retained value considering those are auctions(!).
As a dealer, i thank you. Kbb numbers are insane. NADA is where it's at.
Dealers that use kbb won't be in business for long. Nada is what everyone uses. If a bank processes loans based on NADA, i buy and sell according to nada. kbb is a joke.

Here is NADA pricing based on 214,000 miles...without all the mods (ARB, front & rear, more)...
Clean trade is where you want to be to actually sell. Not accounting for the mods. The only mods that actually increase value, in my experience, are lift kits, bumpers, tires, basically 4x4 upgrades.
So assuming the truck is clean, the asking price is more than fair. But you're saying it's cosmetically rough, that'll make it much harder to sell. Cosmetic damage is $$$. Mechanical, on a Toyota, not so much.

Haha, I was standing next to that gray one when it ran and sold at hobby.recent auction results.
