What this build asks today
Asking prices of live dealer listings decoded to this exact configuration — narrower than the trim-level figure, because every car counted here shares the same engine, transmission and drivetrain.
$3,999 median asking price · 13 listings · as of Aug 30, 2026
Too few listings to publish a price range — with 13 cars on the market, the cheapest and the dearest are single cars, not a spread. The median above is what they ask in the middle.
The same build, other model years
Toyota used the VIN pattern JT2BK18U for 3 model years. Nothing but the year changes between these pages, so the price gap between them is depreciation on an identical car.

How this VIN pattern is read
A 17-character VIN carries two kinds of information: what was built, and which one it is. This page is the first kind — the nine highlighted positions.
| Positions | Characters | What they encode |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | JT2 | TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION · World manufacturer identifier |
| 4–8 | BK18U | Model, body style, engine and restraint system |
| 9 | × | Check digit — computed per vehicle, not part of the build |
| 10 | 2 | Model year — 2002 |
| 11 | × | Assembly plant |
| 12–17 | ×××××× | Production sequence number, unique to each vehicle |

Vehicle counts come from the 1,416 VINs of this build we have seen in dealer inventory. They are a sample of the road population, not a production figure.
