The median 2000 Toyota 4Runner in the Canadian market sits at $8,500. That's the number to anchor on. Most of what's listed lands between $6,600 and $9,500, so if you're staring at an asking price inside that band, you're looking at a normal deal, not a steal and not a rip-off.
The catch with a 24-year-old truck is odometer reality. The typical 4Runner in this pool has 336,000 km on it. These trucks routinely cross that mark and keep going, but at that distance you're buying maintenance history more than you're buying the vehicle. A clean $9,000 example with records beats a $6,600 one with a shoebox of receipts and a vague story.
What to pay
If a seller wants north of $9,500, they need to justify it. Low kilometres for the year, a recent timing belt, no rust on the frame. Below $6,600 and you should be asking why. On a truck this old, cheap usually means deferred work you'll inherit.
CarSignal has flagged 2 deals on this model year in the last 90 days, so genuinely underpriced examples do surface. They just don't sit around. When one lands under $6,600 with a clean bill of health, that's the one worth a drive across town.
