Thinking of selling my '97 Toyota Land Cruiser, and have no idea what I should be asking. The truck has the factory electric locking differentials and is a 40th Anniv Model (if anyone really cares), with about 85,500 miles on it and in GREAT condition. Here is a basic run down on the add-ons:

TRD Supercharger installed by Toyota
ARB Bullbar
Warn M12000
Slee Offroad side protection
Slee Offroad Rear Bumper/swing out tire carrier
OME Lift w/Slee Offroad parts to lower sway bar connects
IPF Fog lamps and H4 bulbs for hi-beams
35" MTR's (matching spare)

I also have the original running boards, front/rear bumper, and rear jump seats.

Edmunds says between $9,300 and $15,900 - but I was hoping for a "reality check."

So, what should I hope for/expect to sell for?

The supercharger is the kicker, big ticket item that doesn't seem to return much as an add on at time of sale. Mostly it depends on the condition of the vehicle both in and out, and what the current economy will support. With gas going way high there are alot more 80's being sold. Sort of depends on how fast you want to sell it. In the 10k range it would most likely sell pretty easily (I would think)...on the other end at 16k it might be a long wait. Not the best market for selling a rig that gets pretty low fuel economy along with the fact that lots of folks are selling "Toys' due to other bills and such. If you do come up with a price you are comfortable with drop me an E-mail at rlbrown@wildblue.net I've been looking at Runners and taco's but my lady thinks I should lean towards an 80 (currently have a built 40 and am looking for more creature comforts though the 80's are pretty big...though doing more Moab type stuff and less Rocks, so maybe). Drove an 80 on Moab Rim and was pretty impressed with what it did.
