    Yesterday I bought a well cared for, but high mileage Tacoma SR5, 4x4. Though it has 255K it runs well and doesn't leak. The undercarriage hasn't been banged up and the body doesn't have any rust! Since selling my T-100 I wanted another one or a Tacoma. Next week a new exhaust manifold and then new coil overs and shocks. Must admit, I've been stalking this site (forum) and want to thank you all for "encouraging" me. I'd been watching this truck for six months and no one wanted it because of the mileage. The dealer dropped the price - I'm happy!:D

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    Welcome aboard and good luck! Enjoy putting another 255k on it.

    Why did you sell your T-100? Such a durable truck would be too hard for me to part with. :confused:
