$10,500 for an 03 TRD 4dr 4x4 with 171k miles?

I found a 03 trd 4 door 4x4 has rear diff locker 171000 miles they are asking 10,500 for the truck. Is this a good price? What are some things to look for or at before purchase

Thanks Jon

 

More info and history would help people have a better understanding of what the truck is worth. To give you more advice. Also pictures would help as well.

Check the undercarriage and frame for rust issues. Ask for maintenance history etc. Good luck with your search for a new yota.

 

Only one I have right now not sure what other info is needed not sure on mechanical history yet gonna check on it monday

 

From that pic it looks pretty clean. Does it have a clean title or ever had any accidents? If that is a a clean well maintained tacoma. That is a pretty fair price for that mileage imo. There is a big problem with these trucks and rust so I would definitely make sure you check for that and see if there is any history on the frame being sprayed or replaced ever. Try running the vin.

 

Heard they had frame issues and some were recalled I'll get vin and do a car fax from what I could tell today it had light rust but no visible holes

 

I've had an 03 TRD double since 03. Acquired from Tuscaloosa Toyota. Currently at 180k without a single non-maint issue. As long as it wasn't driven in NE you should be good. Rust/Salt and 01-04 tacos do not blend well. Check for timing belt replacement and CarFax it. Offer $10 if clean and you'll drive it home. Nice looking rig. Good luck.

 

I think the price is about right, depends what area you are in and where that truck has been.
I got my 04 2wd trd off road, from Arizona, one owner with 95k for 13.5.
If yours is clean and no rust, I'd offer 10k.
Good luck man

 

Checked vin shows multiple service down side is its spent some of its life in Colorado then to new York before making it down here in bama...im gonna check the frame good tomorrow is their away to know if the frame was every replaced could I call the dealership and know that???

 

Ya you could have them run the vin. There is also a website you can do it yourself, I just cannot remember it right now maybe someone else on here will chime in.
