1996 4x4 Tacoma with 84k miles

Mods, not sure where to post this. Please move if need be.

Just ran across this ad while looking for a Tundra to replace the Tacoma I just sold. The guy had this listed in his CL ad as a Tundra.

Looks like a super nice truck at a great price.

Looks good.

 

The interior looks pretty filthy and cigarette burned. I'm thinking maybe $6500 and not the nearly $10k they want

 

That seems really decent low miles for a 96
Last time I looked at my odo for my 2001 Tacoma I'm in 250+ miles

 

Yeah the interior could use a little cleaning.

 

The lower clam shell is missing below the steering wheel. Low miles don't mean nothing if tweekers have been at it. I also notice it says TRD, but no diff lock button?

 

Uh oh someone put the trd dummy sticker on it.

 

The odometer says low miles, must have been a rough 84000 miles. Interior looks kinda crummy and the brake pedal pad looks like it's wore through to metal. If you pay alot for a low miles Tacoma might as well get a extremely nice one.

 

Also don’t forget to budget for a 5 speed swap

 

You guys have some pretty good eyes. Now that I looked a bit closer the steering wheel looks pretty slick and shiny for 84k too. And what's up with the plastic on the passenger seat?

 

Yea the driver seat looks squished down like it has more miles than that or maybe a fat dude had it.

 

That's a fake TRD - I knew the sticker looked a little off. There's no ECT or R.R. DIFF LOCK button. It's a Limited though, so power mirrors. I don't see many 1995-2000 trucks with power mirrors, I think it only came on the Limiteds.

 

Numbers on the odometer don't line up, hummm!!!

 

They didn't make a TRD in 1996,

 

For 10k sucker better have lift kit,nice wheels and tires,decent interior and a full tank of gas.But that's just my opinion!

 

Started in '98 right?

 

Yup, but the first Trd supercharger started in late 1997 for the 3.4

 

You got your SC installed when you bought the truck, right? Kind of curious as to how much Toyota charged. I don't think they had the 7th injector back then, did they?

 

These days you can clone anything or everything.

 

The only way you could buy the supercharger back then with original full truck warranty was through Toyota and they had to install it. Back then it cost 2500 range and no 7th injection system till much later. The supercharger was now covered by the original Toyota truck warranty.
