Market Highlights
- The First-Gen Allure: In 2026, the 1995-2004 Tacoma has transitioned from a used work truck to a certified modern classic. Its mechanical simplicity and compact footprint make it more desirable than modern mid-size trucks for many enthusiasts, sustaining high price floors for 4x4 models.
- Southern California Premium: The Lake Forest and broader Orange County markets represent some of the highest demand for Toyota trucks globally. The absence of road salt ensures these vehicles remain structurally sound, commanding a 10-15% premium over national averages.
- Stability of Asset: Unlike newer vehicles that continue to depreciate, the 1999 Tacoma 4x4 has hit its value floor and is beginning to appreciate. Buying a functional 4WD example at $13,000 provides a level of price protection that is rare in the automotive market.
