my first tacoma. good deal?

Got out of the service earlier this year. Had a lifted dodge on 35's 4x4. Bought my stepdads 2004 double cab prerunner. 2.7l. 120k on it got it for 7500. As far as kbb is 10k-13k

I absolutely love this truck. Just bought toolbox for it

 

DC 1st gen ftw!! Congrats and welcome to the forum.
And thank you for your service.

 

Thanks

 

Damn , sharp looking truck you have there , And you got the best year , great choice

 

Congrats and Welcome to TW!!

 

Nice crew cab. Red too, looks very clean. Can you post more pics for us if you dont mind? Thanks.

Also Thank you for your service

 

Truck is immaculate. Even the interior. So realistically, is 120k alot for these trucks?

 

Welcome! I take it you are in Tampa?

 

Mods this week. Painting door handles to match fenders. Also redoing fender flares. I use SEM number coater. Good stuff

 

I'm in tampa

 

Awesome!! Clean truck too! Welcome to the Forum

 

Cool man, same here check out the Tampa thread http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/florida/131393-where-my-tampa-bay-area-tacos.html

 

Congrats and welcome! 120k is nothing for these trucks, if it was maintained at any reasonable effort. I picked up my '97 ext 4x4 at 126k on the ODO, and so far (knock on wood) it is a trooper.

 

My first 2wd truck but I couldn't pass up the deal on such a good truck. Miss 4wd but I don't use it down here like I did in new york.

 

4 cylinder double cabs are extremely rare! Nice find! How does it run? Always wondered how the 2.7 pulled these heavy double cabs around. And no, that is not very many miles at all for these trucks! I found my 04 3.4 V6 with only 75k on the clock, it's just a baby truck!

 

Is it fast.. not at all. But it gets me out of traffic and pulls my carolina skiff just fine

 

Nice looking truck. With the prices of the 1st gen skyrocketing, I'd say you got a great deal. Especially if its well taken care of. Congrats!

 

to answer your question, you got a great deal, these trucks are bullet proof and often sell for a few thousand over book value.

as to mileage you can expect around 300,000 miles trouble free service from the engine as long as you change oil regularly.

other the oil changes and replacing the air filter, the routine maint issues are mainly fan belts and idler pulleys wear out every 25-30k miles or so and need replacing and that's about it.

 

nice job, you did good. I like the color too!!

 

No 120,000 is not a whole lot. My family had an 04 vibe that got up to 200,000+ and my uncle still has like a mid 90s taco and it is still going strong
