Truck in our areas must be real good checked for frame rust. Could worth to pay an ispection at the local dealer before the buy to be sure.

If the title are not saying it's been totalled, the frame should still warranty for one year depending on the date they put it in service. (15 years warranty from that date) So in both case it could be a win win situation: good frame = nice buy, bad frame, they buy back to you for about 150% of the resales value.

With the tires it's sports I guess the previous owners wasn't easy on it everyday, maybe make inspect the steering rack for leaks as they have a tendency to break.

Other than that the mileage is quite low, mine has 275 000km and reliable as the first day.

As long as you don't expect it to be like new, you can't really go wrong with a Tacoma!

 

That would never pass inspection in New Hampshire with the tires sticking out that far. I had the same setup on my old 2000 Tacoma and was pulled over many times.
Yes check the frame near the rear spring hangers...looks sharp!!
