wanted to see if i over paid

i paid 3200 delivered to my house
2000 toyota tacoma 5spd
i do not know much about the truck other then it has been a toy
it has 87 wagoneer front axle arb front bumper with warn winch
8 inch lift with new bilstein shocks
has no frame damage but was rolled has 110k miles 1 owner truck with no accident reports on carfax
interior is crap as no carpet spray painted all dash flat black
ac heat works great
tires are 50% thread
getting ready to put in about 1500 in body work now
anyways here she is

 

hows it run?

 

id need to see more pics of the work, seems like a decent deal though

 

runs great

 

At this point it really doesn't matter, but IMO I think you over paid. I wouldn't have paid more than $2500.

 

going to rhino line the truck after i find a new bed for it

 

I concur. 110k miles is not bad, but that's a lot of body damage. Me thinks it might leak when rained on. And it would depend on how well that cage is built. and how well everything else is modified. I was Just thinking of what a sweet 4x4 Atv you could get for 3200, but thats me.

 

id agree the damage is quite a bit, but hey if you like it thats all that matters.

can you post pictures of the front end, from under the truck?

 

Depends what you plan to use it for.. if its a crawler don't pay to fix the damage it will just get more.. if its a street queen I wouldn't have bought an SASd taco but that's just my opinion

 

i have no clue why i bought it myself im actually in the market for a tundra
was offered 4000 for it by the tow truck driver but oh well i guess ill have it repaired and see what happens at that point

 

id be calling the tow truck driver back.

if you dont know why you bought it....... why did you?????
you wont get your money out of it if your trying to fix it and sell it for more.

 

Some people get one dent and cry about it....others, however, hit every tree, rock, fence that they can find and then beat....any straight panel left...with a hammer = trail use.

 

If i was going to keep it, i'd get a bed, hood, fenders, doors, mirrors, and most of the interior minus the carpet(not to mention lots if dent pulling on the cab). Roll on bed liner the floor, clean the frame and under body then coat it all in rust proofing shit....then paint the whole truck flat black or white and use it. Or i would save myself a lot of money and sell it to the tow truck driver....

 

oh well ill keep the truck play with it and use it for fishing cause 5k for a tacoma just not sounding as that bad of a deal to me

 

Either way....you've still got an engine that is only 1/3 of the way through its life. Its not a bad deal...

 

Al o would do it get rid of the green sliders and get a winch.. you got a crawler buy a tundra and keep thrashong the taco..

 

I'd say it all depends on the details of the parts and workmanship. Is the suspension designed properly and does it take advantage of the SA? Are the parts installed correctly? Are the welds good? Is it a bulletproof crawler? If so, I'd say you made a good deal. If it's thrown together, maybe not. FWIW, I've seen trucks that look more beat than yours that I'd pay 10k for. They were CAD designed, linked, locked, dual cased and highway drivers... you get the picture.

 

Track that tow truck driver down!!!! Prolly paid a little too much for it

 

100 percent agree!
