I would say he missed his price by about $3k, it isn't even an SR5. I could see it having that kind of relative value if it was around 100k original miles, and it was a 9.5-10 inside and out, or possibly in another 20yrs when it could be a "survivor" model.
It is pretty clean but nowhere near 45, it could be, but the shifter boots need to be replaced, the rear panels are faded and need refinishing, and there is something off with the door panels, either the map pockets are trashed, after market ones were added. I think an asking price of $4500, expecting to take between $3500-4k would be about right, even with what C4C did to the market, even with all the beat up ones out there. People have to realize that just because their stuff is twice as good as beat to hell rigs, it doesn't mean theirs is worth twice as much.
For comparison this is a restored Runner I listed for $4600 back in '06 when Toyota 4x4's were commanding premium prices during the height of the 4x4 hobby.

It was an SR5, w/power windows, sunroof, everything leaked, and looked like new when it was done, as well as a little extra customs, with the safari rack(hidden wires to the lights), custom tailgate piece, etc. I don't think it I could ask anymore for it today then I did then, and do it with a straight face. Maybe I am wrong with the current market place, but given the economy, I can't believe there are that many buyers out there willing to pay price that some of theses sellers are asking, not when you can get 3rd gen Runners for the same price. While these rigs are collector pieces to some of us, they aren't in general, and likely wont be for sometime to come.
