The 1997 Toyota 4RUNNER auction market at a glance
The middle half of sales ran from $225 to $925, a 4.1x spread, so the damage on the car matters far more than the badge.
61% still ran and drove when sold; most were lightly or moderately damaged, which props up the median.
The most common primary damage was front end (51% of sales), followed by side (12%).
Next to neighboring years of the 4RUNNER, a 1998 brought $100 more at the median.
The typical one crossed the block with about 266,000 miles.

How much is a wrecked 1997 Toyota 4RUNNER worth?
Most sold for $225 to $925 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $350 across 80 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.
Does it matter if my 1997 Toyota 4RUNNER still runs?
Yes. 61% of the ones sold still ran and drove. Runners with light damage sell toward the top of the range; non-runners, flood and fire cars sell toward the bottom.
Should I part out my wrecked 1997 Toyota 4RUNNER or sell it whole?
At a median of $350, selling whole usually wins: parting out takes months, and fees and the leftover shell eat most of the difference.
Can I sell a 1997 Toyota 4RUNNER with a salvage title?
Yes. Buyers of damaged cars handle salvage titles every day and price the brand in. A missing title narrows the pool of buyers more than a salvage brand does, and state rules decide who can buy a car without one.
