Repairable, Salvage and Damaged Toyota 4runner for Sale
Showing results 1 - 24 of 768
791 Toyota 4Runner SUVs for sale across 183+ Copart locations – model years 1987–2027, avg. mileage 168,000 mi. 26% clean title, 71% salvage; Front End is the top damage (49%). Bids start at $200, and recent 4Runners sold for a median winning bid around $4,750.
The 4Runner holds its value at auction better than most midsize SUVs, and the sold numbers show it. Over the last two years 35 salvage and repairable 4Runners sold here, most between $3,100 and $6,100 before fees; front-end hits led at 34%, well ahead of the minor dents and side damage behind it. Buyers know the platform will outlast the body, so competition for a straight one stays strong even with a bent fender in the photos. Most stayed in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
Start with the frame. The 4Runner has been body-on-frame since day one, and the late-1990s and early-2000s trucks are old enough that rocker panels and frame rails deserve a hard look before you trust a "runs and drives" listing. The 5th generation (2010 onward) kept the same 4.0-liter V6 for well over a decade – a strength, since parts and know-how are everywhere, but it also means a tired timing chain or worn VVT-i components can show up on higher-mileage trucks regardless of year. TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro trims add KDSS and locking rear differentials; confirm both actually function; a hard hit near the rear axle can knock KDSS out without leaving obvious damage. Third-row SR5 and Limited trims carry more glass and trim pieces that add up fast if the lot photos show interior damage. When a truck's too far gone to rebuild, non-repairable Toyota lots still move fast for the drivetrain and transfer case.
Buying is quick: register free – no dealer license – set a maximum bid and the system bids up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
FAQ
What condition are these 4Runners in?
About 791 lots, 71% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads the damage board at 49%, mileage averages about 168,000, and most are the standard SUV body from model years 1987–2027.
Is a salvage 4Runner worth buying?
Usually yes if the frame is straight, since the drivetrain is famous for outlasting the rest of the truck. Recent 4Runners sold for a median winning bid around $4,750 before fees, most between $3,100 and $6,100, leaving solid room over a clean-title example. A rusted frame or a wrecked KDSS/locker system on a TRD trim is where that math falls apart.
What should I check before bidding?
Frame rails and rocker panels first, especially on older trucks. Then confirm the locking rear diff and, on TRD models, KDSS actually work. Listen for a timing-chain rattle on higher-mileage V6s. Cross-check the title brand against the damage photos.
Can I insure and register a salvage 4Runner?
Only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection – then most insurers will cover it, just not the company that totaled it. While it's salvage-titled it can't be road-registered. Check with your insurer before you bid.
How does the auction work?
Register free, no dealer license. Set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
How do I check a 4Runner's history?
Every lot shows the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report for prior accidents, mileage and title events before you commit.
What are good alternatives to the 4Runner?
Buyers cross-shop the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Nissan Pathfinder in the same body-on-frame or off-road-leaning class. Staying with Toyota, the Land Cruiser is the bigger, pricier step up, or the FJ Cruiser for a smaller, more overtly off-road-styled option on the same platform.
