New Taco

Well, I've been a 4runner guy for a long time. Had a '99 and a '12. I let my wife have them and have been looking for a tacoma double cab. I found a 2002 with only 53k miles. $19500!out the door from the dealer. It is a double cab, 4x4 TRD, locker, etc.

Can all you experts tell me if this is a good price? I've seen some with over 100k going for mid teens on price. Any problems I should look for? It is a very clean truck and I dont think it has been used off road much, if ever.

 

Holy shit thats a lot for a 1st gen. is low miles though..but damn haha

your in AZ so frame rust shouldn't be an issue..check anyways.

 

Just my 2 cents, that's insane!!!!! Almost 20k for a 2002 no way that's over price big time!!!!!!!!

 

low ball the fuck outta them. thats crazy

 

Yeah, 19.5k is a LOT of lettuce for an 02 Taco

 

The prices around here are insane for these trucks. I've seen ones with 150k going for $15k. Not sure how reliable KBB is, but it does book retail for $21k

 

Seems like It should be about 16 to 17k. Little over priced, it's crazy what low mileage first gens can go for

 

I bought a used 2nd gen Tacoma last year and I'm completely happy with it NOW, but at the time I really had my heart set on a 1st gen V6 TRD. All 3 times I went to look at one with under 100,000 miles, it sold for above 17 grand and went before I even got a chance to look at it.

I think that's a killer price for a double-cab with low miles and all the coolest options. Go for it but don't be surprised if someone beats you to it.

 

I guess if you break it down, the price is around $17,500-17,700...its when you add taxes and fees it puts it at $19,500. I think I might jump on it.

 

If you get it, show us some photos!

 

20K?

Lol how much did a new 2002 tacoma double cab cost? Just outa curiosity.

I paid 11K for my double cab. 100,000 miles, clean, never off road etc. Just for comparison. Price seems too high imo.

 

My 02 double cab cost 22k brand new in December of 01

 

But yours is a Prerunner. The OP is looking at a 4X4 TRD. In our neck of the woods, the resale value on 4X4 Tacomas is crazy high.

 

Op just but the damn thing if you can afford it. Good luck

 

That's true, D60 axles cost about 3 times as much out there as here. Higher demand.

 

True. Just giving some info

 

Well I went ahead with the purchase. I couldnt pass it up based on what I've seen for sale around here with mileage and prices. The truck looks good. Of course theres a few scratches here and ther but overall it is a very clean truck and low miles. Hopefully it'll last me a while.

 

welcome to the club

 

Where do I get in touch with Arizona buyers? People in Iowa don't want to pay squat.
