1st Gen Taco on Craigslist - Price seems wrong

http://galveston.craigslist.org/cto/5676031162.html

Does this price seem right @ $1800? I tried calling the number but it's a FL number here in TX. I'm seriously considering going to look at this thing if it's legit.

Thoughts?

 

Scam. They run those ads everywhere. Usually prices are $1534, $1834, $2342

 

Yea I figured as much with such a strange dollar amount. I hate the world LOL.

 

Don't hate the players, hate the game

 

yup did a google search, there is another ad in chicago as well.....move on...

 

If it's too good to be true.................

 

Probably a scam unless it's a typo. No way someone would sell it for that price. I live in Florida and looking for a good truck. I'm seeing 91-93 yotas people are asking 5-6000 and they are beat to hell. Crazy what people asking for these trucks. Sad thing is some people will pay it.

 

I used to think they are asking crazy prices. Then I realized people are getting these prices. Market is setting it. I told a friend what I paid for my DC, and he goes OMG. Then i said, go on craigslist and try to find them. These are the prices.

 

Yeah, I agree. I was looking at a 97 Tacoma they were asking 7k. I couldn't bring myself to pay that for a 97. A few days later it's sold. I'm realizing that if I want one of these trucks then I'll have to pay the price. However, I do have my limits. I stopped and looked at one yesterday here locally. A 97, asking 10k...I moved on.

 

Just make sure you pay with Western union and give your social security number

 

2 years ago I had a 2000 trd extended cab manual with 85k miles on it. I bought it for 8k. Drove it for a year and a guy at a gas station approached me while pumping gas and offered me 14k for it. Lol I thought he was joking but I took it right away

 

Should be priced around $15-16k...

 

Lol...wow. Good deal...for you.

 

I just moved to melbourne (viera actual;y), will be shipping my 2000 down to sell it. It's not beat to hell, not perfect either. I'm legitimately in florida, trying to sell a truck in wyoming. I'm the only non-scammer with that story and I'm not surprised no one believes me

 

Lol...yeah. I can imagine the frustration when they don't believe you. But at least you understand why they don't.

 

I'd save the $2000 and sell it up north. Most buyers of vehicles here, Florida, will keep going if a prospective vehicle is from the north.

 

I just flagged it and if a few people did that here, then less of a chance someone gets scammed.

 

How did you know? I was just heading off to wire some money to a Nigerian Prince and figured I'd just double down and get a truck along the way.
