The closest thing I can think of is how we price "new" used cars.
 
Value of Used 2012 Vehicles
 
The deduction for miles driven won't help you but taking off for deprecation should. You can get depreciation numbers from the True Cost to Own tool.

Thanks for the reply. I wonder why my question about Rav4 got moved here? Also, the Rav4 at the dealership is a 2011, not 2012. I can get new vehicle prices for 2012 models here on Edmunds easily, but not 2011.

I tried but even 6K off MSRP could not be found in Houston. Most of deals provided 4K off MSRP. Did anybody get a good quote in Houston?

#2052 of 2053 My Buying Experience Was Horrible by deadrunner_org

I'm not sure who watches these forums but thought I'd post my own warning. I just had to sell my Toyota 4Runner at basically a total loss. Frame rotted and was very dangerous by the the I discovered it. Had it inspected about one year ago and they didn't spot it. Thankfully I had not let my teenage daughter start driving it.
 
Toyota has left me high and dry on this one. Soooo ... I've chronicled the experience on a website called www.deadrunner.org as a way to warn others. What a horrible waste. Rest of the car was in great shape --- transmission, engine, body. If I had more time I would have tried for more money than the 1,200 I got but the Toyota dealer was starting to threaten to charge me rental for having it sit on their lot.
 
This isn't any kind of ad, I'm not selling anything, just a warning ... Be careful of 4Runners. I think it's got a similar issue as the Tacoma's and Toyota appears to be avoiding the issue.
 
Right now they've lost a customer forever in my book. We'll see if they ever man-up.
 
Thanks,
Ron

I feel your pain, although I have not had the problem, but am aware of the frame rot problems with Tacomas and Tundas. We at toyota-4runner.org were hoping we would not have these problems with the 4Runner because they were built in Japan. While Edmunds is a good site, I think this needs more exposure and you should post this at places like toyota-4runner.org (#1 T4R site), tacomaworld.com, etc. Bring as much exposure as you can to this problem.
 
Toyota's aren't what they used to be. Toyota's were reliable, and had good craftsmanship. Now-a-days, Toyota vehicles are throw-aways after 100K (if you can get there).
 
Toyota frames should not be doing this at 100K. Toyota should come forward and do what's right. I suspect Ohio winters and especially salt were your enemies even though you kept it in the garage. I'm not saying you are the cause of the problem, cause you aren't.
 
Others should be inspecting their frames every year and be winterizing them. While it might not totally eliminate it, it will protect the frame some.
 
Take care, and thanks for the message.
Ron
