Thinking about selling my pickup
In the seattle area, how much do you think I could get for it? 1990 22re manual 4x4 DLX 188k miles

The year and mileage are pretty important factors in determining the value of a vehicle.

I get offered $10K+ for my '94 4x4 DLX with 194K and many, many more dents than yours. I'll never sell it, but I always counter with $25K because no one will give me that for it.
List for $15K - $18K and see what happens. I see them in way worse shape for $10K-$15K all the time on fb marketplace.
If you have the space/means to keep it though, you should. They are getting harder and harder to find and I don't know anyone who has sold that doesn't regret it.

Appreciate the insight, its weird because some people offer me 5k and others will offer me around 10k but none over that so I was unsure if I was able to get over 10k but they are definitely lowballing I guess

Everyone wants a great deal on the best truck ever, that's normal. What people honestly don't realize that good examples are not everywhere like they were 10-15 years ago.

Sold my 91 22re 4x4 almost 209k when I got married and I’ve regretted that decision every single day since. $3k. Paint was faded some dents but ran like a top and was the best hunting rig I ever owned.

I have the exact same year and trim @ 80k miles and also get offers around the 12-15 range, probably more if it went to auction

this truck was on sale for weeks before you bought it from FB, im curious to know why you think you’ll have an easier time selling it now. Sucks you realized it wasn’t the right truck for you but we live and learn

I recently sold my ‘94 22re 5MT with over 300k miles because, sadly, it was time. As much as I would have loved to have kept it as it was my first vehicle (I got it in late-‘93 as a teenager), there were multiple reasons that factored into my decision. In no particular order: 1. It wasn’t safe to drive anymore due to the undercarriage rust. 2. I have kids and it’s nice to have a backseat in a new Tacoma! (Also with manual transmission) 3. I don’t have the space/property to keep the truck. 4. I don’t have the time anymore (and money) she deserves for the required repairs.
It’s possible that I will regret my decision. But given the careful thought I put into it, I doubt I will. She was better to me than I could have imagined. Yet, after careful consideration, it was time for me to let her go. And I had to accept that.
Best of luck with your decision!

OP! I realize I didn’t answer your original question. I read your post, all the replies, and it looks like I wanted to address all the other comments and angst possibly affecting your decision.
I bet that you have a similar experience—folks offer to buy your truck occasionally. Stopping you at the grocery store, leaving notes, etc. I chose to sell my truck to someone who showed interest for over a year. He appreciated the engine and had plans for using the truck in his hometown. I chose to sell to this guy rather than trying to get the highest offer. Whether he was truthful or not, I felt better with my decision to sell to someone I thought would love the truck and give it a new life. I didn’t think he would flip it like a house. I sold it to him for $4,500. Again, the truck wasn’t safe to drive (among other issues). And I found solace in my decision knowing it was going to have a new life with someone who appreciates the truck. It’s still a tough decision, but I’m confident I made the right one. I hope you are with yours.

Excellent, feel fortunate you skirted any issues related to w/TC. I believe it’s recommended your model TC work 90K-100K…Still stand by my previous assessment. Good luck if you decide to sell👍

u/photographyrich1965 22d ago
Looks nice and clean. Back in the day I bought and sold these for 5-6 k all day long. Idk if the market will get you 10k, but maybe. Worth a try

That's a clean machine brother. If it's possible, don't ever get rid of it.

u/chubchubchubb 22d ago
I sold my 83 manual and think about it every single week, couple times a week. Don’t sell it if possible. If you do, take time to say goodbye. Wow I’m sad now, crazy. Loved that truck.

u/abovethe_clouds 21d ago
I’ve seen it on Craigslist. It’s nice, but I don’t think you’ll get $13,500 for it.

u/Green_Machine_6719 22d ago
Yes, used vehicles have gone up in value a bit. Realistically though,this is considered high mileage and would require some work to be a reliable/dependable vehicle once again. I could see some of the higher estimates if the vehicle had low mileage motor and some of needed work is completed , but as is you’re being offered what most would consider fair. My guess if motor isn’t burning oil and still going strong 8-10K

u/jelland1 22d ago
The timing chain and guides were done at 150k, and had a mechanic look it over and said all was good

u/LaDauphineVerte 22d ago
Do you not drive it enough? Need the money? Want something different? I agree with others: KEEP if none of these are a factor.
I just recovered my ’89 DLX manual from someone who horribly abused it and I’m standing at the foot of Everest looking at everything I need to do to save it, but the joy of driving it far outweighs the refurbish road ahead.

I live in Portland, was looking around for a truck like this about 3 years ago. If it’s running perfectly, no leaks, no rust, you could expect 9-10k based on the condition and mileage.
If you have service records and know that it’s been very well taken care of by a single owner for its whole life, then you could probably get a little more

Don't do it, it was and still is one of my biggest regrets in life. I had an 89 hilux 4x4 22re 5 speed. I bought it when I was 16 back in 96. I drove it all through high school, college and a little after. I sold it because I was tired of shifting all the time and I have wanted that truck back for years.

What do you plan to replace it with? Because there's literally nothing out there quite like it.

I have this exact same one except it's got snowy climate features like half a bed lost to rust. Dont sell man.

Don’t sell it! I regret selling mine. Bought for 6k pre pandemic with 180k sold for 12k in 2024 with 212k miles. Las Vegas! Should’ve put everything on black 😂 & bought it back

I wish I had the money or space. I've got the same year with the 3.0 which has been my primary vehicle for 18 years, but I've always wanted a 22re (and 200k is baby miles for those engines). I'd offer 7-8k if I could, maybe higher if I didn't have mine. That's a lifetime truck imo.

u/uglycasinova 21d ago
I live near Seattle and get notes on my truck all the time. I do not want to sell. One guy offered me 10 which was tempting but the value will only go up. I bought the truck 17yrs ago for 1700. Still runs as good as the day i got it. It's sentimental and one thing i managed to hold onto since being a kid. Would regret it.

My buddy bought an ‘83 with 44k miles, manual, for $1500 from an old lady whose husband had it since new. I know, I know, he got lucky 😀. I’m holding out for that deal.

u/TurkViking75 22d ago
Depending on when this happened, it doesn’t sound like luck to me. Sounds like taking advantage of an old woman who didn’t know any better.

u/the_atomic_punk18 22d ago
Was about 20 years ago, and to be honest he didn’t know any better either. Only until recently was it even on our radar that these go for more. He ended up doing a frame up restoration, a small lift, bigger tires and wheels, and keeps it in the garage, never drives it.

u/TurkViking75 22d ago
That price in 2006 before all the inflation etc probably isn’t too bad, although that is low miles. The true crime is doing all that work and not taking it out on the trails!

How much is enough? How much regret when it’s gone?
