I paid 30500 for 2008 Toyota 4Runner SR5 out the door including warranty, does this seem to be a fair price?
It's a V6, Price basically 28k + tax, junk and warranty Thanks for all the input. Did not do much research before I bought. Got 0% instead of the $4000 It's a 2wd V6. It looks like I might have paid about 2k too much.

You've left out quite a bit of information. Which engine (V6 or V8)? 2wd or 4wd? Any additional options? 30,500 is about right for a 4wd V6 SR5. If you got anything better than that or any additional options, even better.

Why should I also consider these? X

Compared to the 4Runner, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer (and the nearly identical GMC Envoy) feel sorely outdated, as those models lack the refinement of the 4Runner; the 4Runner also handles much more confidently than these GM vehicles and is safer.

The Durango is another potential alternative; it boasts impressive towing ability, but it’s not as off-road-focused as the 4Runner.

The Ford Explorer now includes a full range of safety features, handles well, and is quite comfortable inside, but it doesn’t offer the off-road hardiness possible in the 4Runner.

The Nissan Pathfinder is the closest match to the 2008 Toyota 4Runner; it has an interior that trumps the Toyota's in appearance, while coming in at a lower price.

The Nissan handles well, like the 4Runner, and its base V-6 engine is especially strong, yet efficient.

Against any of these vehicles, though, the 4Runner has the advantage of especially strong resale value and a long-established reputation for reliability and durability.
