    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
