From an automotive point of view, the last 10 years of the American 20th century are likely to be remembered as the decade of the sportutility vehicle. Even though the entries are coming from almost every automaker on the planet, this is a uniquely U.S. phenomenon, thanks to our low fuel prices, and as we count down to the millennium each year brings more and more choices, few of themif anyoutright losers. Nevertheless, some still stand out from the growing crowd, and Toyota's newly updated 4Runner falls into that select group. And for very good reasons. Maybe first among those, most sportute buyers are looking for reliability and rugged durability that will keep them going no matter what the weather or conditions. Fewif anymakes have a better dependability reputation than Toyota. The 4Runner shares strong family ties and many components with the nearly unbreakable Toyota pickup trucks, and the ruggedness ruboff is bankable. Beyond that, Toyota does a very good job of building in thoughtful features that mainstream buyers find attractive. Look at any Toyota and you'll find that everything about it is welldone and logical, and the vehicle doesn't ask you to make any awkward compromises.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 1998 Toyota 4Runner, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 1998 Toyota 4Runner for less money than when it was new. If the 1998 Toyota 4Runner was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 1998 Toyota 4Runner is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 1998 Toyota 4Runner will have a excellent resale value. This assumes that the 1998 Toyota 4Runner is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
