    I chose none, if you aren't in a hurry, keep on looking for a lower mileage 4x4 for around 13k. DC would be an added bonus. How far are you willing to travel for the right truck?

    Thanks for that, Just did a Carfax check on "option C" the 4x4 and it's a rebuilt title :(

    Now it's down to both white ones. Option A has a clean Carfax! :)

    Between those two I would go with A, fewer miles, and idk what the carfax is on the other... Idk if your guys vehicles rust is crazy over there but make sure to check!!! warranty is over I think

    Go with A. Private seller, lower mileage, clean title.

    I'll say though, unless it's exactly what you're looking for, i'd just keep looking.

    Get the truck that best fits your lifestyle. If it were me 4x4 extra cab. But I like to go off roading and I bought the truck for that purpose only.

    Ok, which one did you get ????

    That kind of $$$$ you should find the "right" one...

    Hell that kind of $$$ might make me "look" at selling the '02..:cool:

    Absolutely do not buy option c!!!!! It has a rebuilt title because he sunk it in the st Mary's river, I know this because he is local for me. He has been trying to pawn it off on someone for months

    Didn't buy any, I ended up getting a Mazda3. I was really hoping to find the right Tacoma within my timeframe but I didn't. The Mazda3 was my default choice. Maybe next vehicle!:cool:



    Thanks for that, I saw that while checking Carfax!

    You will be sorry since the Tacoma is better than a dinky Mazda 3 and honestly when I was looking at Tacoma's I thought I wanted a jeep Rubicon well here I am 5 months later and I don't regret the Tacoma one bit

    Mazda 3 over a Tacoma? Oh no :(

    For me, if i hadn't found a Tacoma by now i would have just got a 4runner since there's so many around.

    4runners are nice but pricey I had a budget to stick too, the tacomas that I wanted were over the budget. Honestly it's a bitter sweet feeling because I'm happy with the Mazda3! but also with the Tacoma also! jeje :eek:
