old new truck

So my grandfather has a 2001 toyota tacoma v6 ...every option you could probably get then... which i'm not to good on the 1st gen trucks but its 4x4 and auto tow package ....everything......the best part.. it only has 917 miles on it..... yes you read it right..it doesnt even have a thousand miles on it ..... he bought it and it has been parked in his garage since then ... he starts it once a month or so just to start it .. it just sits there covered up in the dark all by itself... i tried to get him to sell it to me but he wont lol ... it hasnt been licensed since 01 i think ..its silver with black fender flares.......i bet the 1st gen guys would love to get their hands on that ...hahahaaha just thought id let you guys know whats hiding out there in some place...

 

I hope the frame stays good, it will be worth a fortune someday!

 

i guess the question would be then... how much do you really love him?? na im just kidding. have you driven it anywhere?

 

How about some pix, I would love to see it, I'm drooling already.

 

why would the frame be bad.. ?? and no i havent driven it anywhere.. when he bought i was to young to drive and since i am able to now he hasnt moved it out of his garage...i'll try to get some pics soon
....but i cant complain...he bought me my truck i am driving now which is a 2006 taco ...i'm spoiled i know lol ....but a first gen and sec gen would be nice lol i'll see how much i can sweet talk him

 

thats a mint truck

 

If it is parked on dirt instead of concrete, the moisture could get to the frame. Are you aware of the buyback of first gen. Tacomas due to frame rot?

 

Sounds like a beautiful truck, your grandpa is a generous man too! Cool he's into tacomas, thanks for sharing your story and post pics when you can!

 

no its definitely parked on the concrete ..it hasnt seen moisture ever i dont think.... but yea i am aware of the buy back program.. you dont happen to know how they go about finding out how much they will pay for them do you

 

I don't care how much they'll pay you, it won't be worth what it's worth if what you say is true! That is, unless they want it for the low miles too. In that case Toyota may give you more than anyone else, anywhere.

But it doesn't sound like it's yours to sell and it doesn't sound like Grandpa wants to let it go. Best to just keep on Grandpa's good side for now.

 

My understanding is that they buy them back at 150% of the value so it could very well be worth his while, assuming there is rust: http://thearticlewriter.com/autowri...-tacoma-problem-through-mass-buyback-program/

 

According to your link it's only good for 1995-2000

 

I will give him 60k for it !

 

I GOTTA see pics!!!!



THATS INSANE!!!!!! OMG

 

hell yes........we gotta have pics man!!!! i would love to have that truck!!!
