Is this Taco a good buy?

2002 Tacoma, 3.4 V6, xtracab, manual, TRD, SR5, K&N intake, brush guard, e locker, push-button 4WD, 119,000 miles, comes with sub/amp/speakers/deck, said he'd take $10,000 and not a dollar less (I tried).

 

Oh god what the hell could be worse than fake stick on vents?...


And and those decals. Dear lord


Although it sounds like a decent deal considering such low miles and 4x4 is a plus along with the locker

 

Is that a new frame I see?

 

Throw the pine striping away and the burn the fake vents in the driveway with fire and you've got an excellent truck

 

Yeah the vents and pinstriping bullshit would be gone in a heartbeat lol

 

What's with the discoloring on the intake manifold? Is it normal for the rust belt?

 

Looks like a decent buy, and welcome to tacomaworld

 

Throw those goofy blue eyeball lights on the fire too ... otherwise looks like a good deal.

 

Ask him to show you receipts for timing belt change.....if he hasn't done it maybe he will budge a bit on the price......but if not, still a good deal.......just wear a mask on the way home when u buy it so no one sees you with those ridiculous "hood vents" and pinstripes and silhouette sticker of a PAC-man ghost on the rear glass

 

Oh yeah and the "extra" 4x4 badge on the tailgate.......burn it with the chain link license plate holders LOL

 

Yeah kinda ghetto. Nice truck when you get past the goofy shit. Maybe 1000 to much.GL

 

it may just be me, but the hood looks mis-aligned and the sidemarkers have silver trim, but the grill has chrome trim. May be a sign of front end damage

 

It looks like the hood was not closed all the way on the last pic. That could be why it looks misaligned.

 

I figured the hood may have been popped to see the engine after I posted, but if you blow up pic #9 of the front end you will see the passenger light is way off, and the side marker trim is cracked.

 

I think if you could get him down to 9k, maybe 9.5k, it would be a pretty good deal.

 

The hood alignment and gap in every picture looks funky.

 

Yeah the hood wasn't fully closed in any of these pics, but I do see what you mean about the passenger headlight. Didn't even notice that when I was looking at it. I text the guy this morning asking for the VIN so I could run it. He said he'd send it when he gets off work at 1700, but he also said another guy that offered him $9800 is coming to look at it at 1730.
