    Its a clean truck. Some paint fading but the undercarriage & body is real nice. This is the original window sticker, almost $32k and this was 20 years ago.

    Thanks. One of the perks of working in the automotive field is finding vehicles that need work.

    Today i bought another lunar mist 2004 tacoma TRD 4x4 for cheap. This one has a frame rust issue and almost half-a-million miles. It still ran/drove great during the 2 hour ride home this morning.

    Looks like it has half the miles.. good find, is it a 5spd or automatic. Since its an 04 it could still have the frame under warranty

    It's a auto. PO tried to get it covered but his 59yo son (original owner now recently deceased) did not take it in to Toyota for the frame inspection recall so Toyota will not warranty it.

    So, I just found this thread, and first off nice work! I'm just reading through now

    Second...where does one find info on these seized vehicle auctions and such to find these rides? I tried searching but my google-fu is only turning up obvious bullshit paywall sites

    So, the question remains, where does one look to find out if there's a "one town over that has them every so often"?
