100 Series prices

Might be a manual box ?

$50,000 is to much no matter how good it is ,they are a extremely reliable unit but you have to look at the

age! ,also a timing belt change is not to far away. My B/inlaw has one with 450,000ks on it and all of that has

been towing a 25ft jayco heritage around the place. He paid $ 35,000 for it off a Toyo dealer 6yrs ago with 180,000 ks on it. there has been money spent on it over time.

For that money a late model Isuzu Mux would be a better deal in my opinion.

2002 $ 25,000 there's big differences 2002 ( live front axle ) ~ late 2003 If auto difference chalk & cheese
more like a 80 series IMO

He's asked me to make offer. He said Toyota would trade it for 50k.

You haven't given vehicle specifics Dick but a quick perusal of those valuation sites I linked suggests $50K is not in the ballpark for any on the models listed. Trade-ins are typically well-below the "real" value and accessories lose value very quickly so I'd be sceptical of that value myself. One of the linked websites I gave you has recent sales for particular models. Worth a look.

Out of interest, I had a squiz at a few sites too, and the norm for GXL’s, around the same age, or a bit younger, appeared to be from $25K up into the early $30’s. One example, with >500K on speedo, was back in high teens, I recall.

Have a mate with a younger model Sahara, he’s hoping it appreciates like this example you’ve found, Dick. There’s regular examples on the FB Landcruiser 79 pages, where blokes are asking well over $100K for tricked up single & dual cabs. They sometimes get what they’re asking too, but often forget the basics, like depreciation, wear ‘n tear, value of original vehicle etc.

Hope you can beat him down, mate, they’re a top vehicle.
