    I’m looking for advice on how to realistically price my Tundra.

    FYI, I priced it on KBB with all the required details as one data point and have looked on Auto Trader and Craigslist. So I have somewhat of a good idea. The details of my truck are below, and I’m looking for any advice. I can post pics later as I’m getting it ready to sell.

    Original owner, garage kept, very clean, looks like new, towing limited to flats boat, no rust,
    366,000 miles all highway no off road, ALL maintenance records available and performed by Toyota Dealership by certified mechanic who is available as a reference.

    Appreciate any advice.

    It’s RWD based on some of your older posts, not as good, but I saw that you redid your leather buckets and have stayed on top of oil changes and maintenance, so that plus one owner is really good.

    Where are you located/general area? That also helps us spitball.
    Where I live that’d be a $7500-8000 truck, maybe more if you can list it on FB and CL and just let it sit. WE know these trucks run forever but your average Joe is going to see 360k on the clock and compare that to an F-150 or Chevy 1500 with 150-175k in maybe a slightly higher price range and choose the latter.

    The mileage and people's interpretation of mileage are the real killer on this one. Without seeing pics, I generally agree with @JasonC. on this one, that's at the high end and I'd only pay that given the records and whatnot. I think he's $500-1000 high on what the general populous would believe is fair, being most are ignorant about what that drivetrain can handle.

    I think you could fish for $9k, but suspect you'll have a couple people show up and offer you $6-7k.

    Thank you very much for the reply’s. I’m in Central Florida. Yes, RWD, towing package, running boards and the heavy duty cooling system if that makes a difference. I will post pics tomorrow so you guys can see it better.

    Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

    This is what I got on kbb plugging that info in. I wouldn’t expect more than 5k. 9k is insane for that mileage and 2wd. What are you hoping for?FFC35EBB-2327-41D3-B629-0B111727CF50.jpg

    Based on the truck we saw from someone in north FL that had a hole in the frame, yours even if 2WD, I can't imagine you won't get that for it.

    Not realistic for a brown 2wd with nearly 400k miles. Even 4k for that truck would be a big win, in my opinion.

    I dunno, if the maintenance was right, and the rust was nonexistent, and it was for sale near me @ $4k I think I’d be hard pressed not to snatch it up. I’d prefer to have a 1st or 2nd gen Taco to bag, gas sipper for cruising and all, but … laid out 1GT look pretty awesome and not many people have one. (Or probably want one, I’m just a f’n weirdo, but what else is there to do with a 2WD?!)

    Theres an ass for every seat. Throw it in for a little over what you want and let someone talk you down from there I guess.

    Yep, I wouldn’t buy it at all with that mileage and being 2wd but someone will.

    I have tried selling many different ways but the wife won everytime she told me to do FB along with my favorites like CL or autotrade, etc. One trick I have learned with FB is to list high, then reduce the price every 1-2w by $100 or so as it will flag everyone that looked at it or better, saved it the first time. For me, my favorite listings on FB are the ones that go into a lot of detail on the maintenance and have a lot of pictures. I think we have bought 4-5 on FB and sold maybe 6-7 that way. A few I have driven over 200 miles based on frame condition so throw up some pictures of a rust free frame. Might get someone to drive from up north.
