i thought this was about a chick by the title...
$30K , maybe $8-10K tops. It doesn't matter how much money you spend building a rig/paying someone to build it for you, you are never going to see 1/3 of what you put into it. Of course he could always find someone w/more money than common sense, but most of those have already cashed out their equity .
I know this was just a "funny" post... but those of you who say only 10k are nuts.... The axles under it alone are worth 5k. Motor swap either a 350 or 4.3.. Linked with coil overs and coils.. hydro... bobbed?? I would say 15-20k$ no problem. Man I don't have all that into my rig and if I had to sell it I would want 10k$.
Exactly what i was thinking. Plus the fabwork on this doesnt look like some backyard built fabwork. and the bob on it looks super clean as well as everything else. It looks like a clean capablr rig and i think will fetch more for being so clean. If it were a beat capable rig then i think 8-12k. But it being so clean shows that it hasnt been abused and that why i couls see it go for 15-20k to the RIGHT buyer.
What was spent building it doesn't determine its actual value, nor does the amount the fab work cost. Its value is that which you can expect most people to be willing to pay, which is always far less than was put into it.I emailed the seller to get more info on the Runner, and this is what it has:Dana 60's front/rear, w/only detroit lockers(one stated in the front, but would assume one in the rear),350 mated to a turbo 350 transmission, w/double stock Toyota cases(no mention of 32 spline output shafts or 4.7 gears). The obvious 4-link suspension with Fox II shocks,39" Irocs on Walker Evan beadlocks,DOM tube was used for the cage,Custom built fuel cell,Aluminum storage bins, New seats and carpet.Nothing here makes this an exotic rig worth $20k, let alone $30k, sure he has $30K+ into it, but no one but a fool w/deep pockets is going to p[ay anything near that amount. It will likely end up being parted out as most of the high dollar builds end up when the owner can't move them at their asking price. There is a stock 85 Runner in the 4-sale section that can't move at $2k, when last year it would have sold over night for probably $4k. The 4x4 market has gone the way of the housing market, the money to through away on overpriced items just isn't there anymore. Once you spend more than about $8k on your 4x4 you are basically throwing the money away, because you can't expect others to pay more than that for your rig if you end up having to sell it. These after all aren't '50's and '60's era muscle cars, hotrods, or collectable classics, they are simply modified used trucks, whose value isn't much more than 2-3 times the Blue book value, even when heavily modified.It would be nice to get back what we spend on our rigs, but like I said before, hobbies aren't an investment, they are a pastime that you throw away money on for your enjoyment.
$20K, is what thats worth, or what I'd pay. Personally I hate the resale market, everyone is trying to get stuff for as cheap as possible. Makes me Not that I have money by any means but I just think is sucks that as soon as a person puts something on their rig the value drops 80%. And thats regarless of if its been offroad or not. Really sucks for people that have found hard times.
