Good Deal?

hi this is my first post and im new to toyotas im highly considering buying my brother in laws tacoma its a 2008 4x4 acces cab 4 cyl and just the base model with the plastic fenders it has 100k miles on it and he said he would sale it to me for 8k$ im just worried about buying something with that many miles, what do you guys think about that price for that truck?

 

that low of a price would make me worry about issues.

buy it if you know its solid.

flip it if your unsure.

 

I drove my last Taco to 209,000 miles and wouldn't have hesitated to drive it cross country then. Of course I knew it had been taken care of too. If it's in good shape and nothing wrong with it I'd jump on that. Hell even if theres a minor issue it would be worth that.

 

thanks guys it seems real clean other then a little sun fade because it has been sitting for a while i hope it will buff back shiny its not too bad of oxidation

 

That seems to cheap.

I just sold today an 06 access cab sr5 4x4 with 105k, mint with some minor upgrades for way more than that

 

I'd buy it. Is he a good bro in law? I don't he'll screw you over, probally just giving you a hella of deal.

 

sounds like a good deal, but it's usually not a good idea to buy cars from family members.

 

ya he seems like a good guy, he got a promotion so he went and bought a new duramx so the tacoma is just sitting there rotting away i drove it and looked everything over (im not a mechanic by any sense of the word) but it seemed really clean, would you guys be too worried about the slight oxidation? its black and slightly faded i have no experience buffing so i dont know how well a buff brings back a shine.

 

Wouldn't be too worried about the paint. Just make sure it runs fine and the 4x4 works.

 

def a good deal unless it is salvaged. imo, 100K miles is not bad at all, you can expect a few minor issues going out from time to time, but def still very reliable

 

thanks guys!
