What is a 2008 Toyota Hilux worth?

The used Toyota Hilux price is influenced by several factors: mileage, mechanical condition, equipping (and paint finish), geographic location, and whether the vehicle had a single or multiple owners. Typical age-adjustment patterns indicate that the same 2008 model, when it’s been meticulously maintained, might command a premium in regions that value rugged reliability, such as the Middle East or African markets. Conversely, in highly saturated markets with new diesel alternatives, the price may be more modest.

Depreciation Insight

Referring to the broader Toyota Hilux depreciation trend, the vehicle tends to hold its value relatively well compared to average light trucks. A realistic estimate is that a new Hilux, like many competitors, will lose approximately 15‑20% of its value in the first year and an additional 10‑15% over the next two years. After the first five years, the depreciation curve usually flattens, with the vehicle retaining 35‑40% of its original price if properly maintained.

• First year: ~15‑20% loss
• Years 2‑3: ~10‑15% loss per year
• Years 4‑5: ~5‑8% loss per year
• After 5 years: ~35‑40% of new price remaining

In a market where a 2008 Hilux is on sale as a used vehicle, you might find that well‑maintained examples can pull the price up by 5‑10% relative to a clock‑clocked counterpart.
