Even so, one shopper believes the current market has gone too far after spotting a high-mileage example with a price tag that nearly matches what some buyers paid for one brand new.TikTok creator @prestxn777 recently shared his disbelief after finding a 2022 Toyota 4Runner at a CarMax dealership with approximately 127,000 miles on the odometer. While the SUV appeared to be in good overall condition, it was the asking price that immediately caught his attention.According to the listing shown in the video, the asking price was high enough to leave the creator questioning who would finance a vehicle with well over 100,000 miles on the odometer.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe video has since sparked a debate among Toyota fans and used car shoppers alike, with some calling the asking price outrageous while others argue the 4Runner's legendary reliability makes it worth every dollar.A High Price For A High-Mileage SUVAfter spotting the 4Runner on the dealership lot, Preston walked around the vehicle before taking a closer look inside. Aside from some wear on the driver's seat and scratches on the interior door panel, the SUV appeared to be in respectable condition considering the mileage.His reaction changed once he looked at the window sticker. Seeing a $40,000 asking price attached to a 2022 model with roughly 127,000 miles left him stunned, and he questioned whether anyone would be willing—or even able—to finance a vehicle with that many miles at such a high price.The creator summed up his thoughts by saying the market had "lost its absolute mind," adding that he couldn't understand how a vehicle with that mileage could command such a premium.Viewers Were Split On The PriceThe video's comment section quickly turned into a debate over whether the asking price was justified. Many viewers agreed with Preston, arguing that no vehicle with more than 100,000 miles should cost anywhere near $40,000.AdvertisementAdvertisementSeveral commenters said buyers would be better off spending a little more for a brand-new 4Runner, while others pointed out that some 2022 models originally sold for similar prices when new.Not everyone agreed, however. Plenty of Toyota owners defended the SUV, arguing that 127,000 miles is relatively low for a properly maintained 4Runner and that the vehicle's durability helps explain its unusually strong resale value.Why Toyota 4Runners Hold Their ValueImage Credit: Toyota.The Toyota 4Runner has consistently ranked among the best vehicles for resale value thanks to its reputation for long-term reliability and durability. Buyers often seek them out specifically because they're known to accumulate hundreds of thousands of miles with routine maintenance.That demand has helped keep used prices unusually high, even as many other vehicles have experienced steeper depreciation. Industry studies from Kelley Blue Book, Consumer Reports, and other automotive analysts have repeatedly ranked Toyota among the most reliable brands, reinforcing buyer confidence in used models.AdvertisementAdvertisementAs a result, well-maintained 4Runners often sell for significantly more than comparable SUVs from competing manufacturers.Does Buying New Make More Sense?One reason the video resonated with so many viewers is the relatively small price gap between this used example and a brand-new model. With the latest Toyota 4Runner starting just above the low-$40,000 range in some trims, many shoppers questioned whether saving a few thousand dollars was worth accepting more than 127,000 miles of previous use.Of course, the answer depends on the buyer. Some shoppers specifically want older generations, while others are willing to pay a premium for Toyota's proven reliability rather than purchasing a new vehicle from another brand.Would you pay $40,000 for a 2022 Toyota 4Runner with 127,000 miles if it had been well maintained? Or would you spend a little more and drive home in a brand-new SUV instead?
