To the gentkeman with the long rant a few posts up, if your brother paid that much for one back in 95 he really got screwed. The average price of a new vehicle these days is $32K. The new 4runners the wife and I were looking at were between $32K and $35K. I can't imagine they haven't increased in price over all those years.

Of course the ones for $32K were the basic models. Only had the standard equipment. You know, 4WD, 4.0 V6, automatic, power everything, Bluetooth, navigation, etc. The ones for $35K added leather seats and a sunroof. There are more expensive ones but they don't really have any extra features. Just fancy things like 20" wheels, a different grill, chrome door handles, third row seats, etc. Although they do have a "trail" model that has some stuff like locking diffs, manual transfer case and whatever.
