What would you pay? 2008, 142k miles

decent condition. Needs a thorough cleaning, spent a Couple years in MN, but very little surface rust underneath as it appears to have been under coated there when new.

Nice maintainance records, struts front and rear done at 100k, as was water pump.

Need to make a decision soon.... Gets traded in tomorrow.

I wouldn't give more than $24-25k. I but mine in AZ with 155k and all fluids,brakes, new tires, great service history and a few other items done for $27k from a dealer.

I'm just below $24k, essentially what Carmax has offered. I'm not seeing any nationwide on Autotrader below $29k (asking of course).

One item I forgot to mention is the center diff lock won't engage. Haven't heard of that issue, wondering $$$?

I wouldn't buy it at all until you know what's wrong with the diff. Time to take it to a shop to get that looked at? Could be simple fix, could be expensive. You need to know, or at least I'd need to know before buying.

I ended up passing on it. Too little time to have it checked out, too much unknown.

Could end up being a $30k truck after taxes and repairs. I'd then need to spend $10k on mods to make it ride and look un-Camry. Damn these things ride like ocean liners in stock form. Hopped back in my Icon 4Runner after the test drive- much better!

It's going to Carmax today- I'm sure they'll put it up for sale at $30k+. Oh well.

My opinion - you may have missed out. I went from a 08 V8 4Runner Limited to my 08 200 a little over a year ago (125k on it when I got it, now almost 160k). Totally night and day in the truck.

Mine had an intermittent center diff lock light when I bought it. It just needs to be exercised. Probably never been engaged. I worked mine and now it's fine.

After having my 200, no way I'd go back to the 4R.
