What did you pay for your 1st gen?

Bought 2004 DCSB Prerunner w/ Offroad Package in Oct 2016 for $13,500. I believe it had 82K miles. Spent $2k for maintenance (water pump, timing belt, spark, gaskets, thermostat, four new OE shocks). Drove about 9k miles til May 2018 and sold it for $13,500.

 

nice find! like that rear bumper with the swing!

 

2000 4x4 v6 118, miles straight body 3 yrs ago 500.00 170,miles now in the shop for repainting new tires and wheels

 

1999 single cab 5 spd manual with 127k miles on it. I bought it 2 months ago and it was a little beat up, but it's running well now.

 

I gave 500.00 for the Tacoma

 

Thanks! Yea, I really love the way it sits just low enough to see out the back perfectly.

 

is it difficult to find a V6 4x4 with manual transmission for sale?
a used car lot dealer specializing in imports told me it was quite rare

 

You can put a alert up on sites like Cars.com which will let you know when something comes up for the peramiters you put in.

 

Check on carguru.com I’ve seen a lot on there

only found 5 available on a nationwide search (95.5-97)
5 seems pretty difficult to me

and none of these are anywhere near my locale without at least a days drive
not sure how the white one in Colorado Springs came up manual when pic is AT?

only have 4 now

 

Paid $9,500 for my one-owner 2004 Xtracab TRD, V6, 5spd with 119,000 miles. Came with all service records and the original window sticker. It's literally my dream truck.

Thought I did pretty well until the passenger-rear shock mount broke due to rust a couple months ago. I "checked" the frame before I bought it, but didn't really know what to actually look for. By sheer luck, I'm currently having the frame replaced under warranty though so I can't complain

I still keep in touch with the original owner and send em pics of the truck every now and then!

 

Nice truck!!!

 

very nice! like how it shines from the rearview

did the PO put that rubber on the wheels or is that your doing?

 

Thanks! The PO did a great job keeping it clean, so every few months I clay bar and wax it to protect the paint... It's a complete pavement princess haha.

Those tires were on it when I bought it.

 

what kind of mileage do you get on those?
I put some duraTrac's on mine recently and decided to leave the white letters on the inside (not showing because I did not know how it would look!) now I have some perspective if I should change it around
but I tell ya I am missing nearly 50 miles per tank of fuel since I switched to the snow/mud/highway rubber, still trying to figure it out
...I also now sorta know what my truck would look like with the fender flares

 

I consistently get 18mpg combined, but I have a pretty light foot... my engine is rarely over 2500 rpm. Just FYI the size is 265/75R16

 

I have kept relatively good logs of fillups
my max once on the original wranglers was a bit over 400 miles on a full tank with cruise on about 50 or 55 (i think) for the whole tank (very long trip to StLouis!)
now I barely can reach 300miles before my low fuel light comes on

 

I don’t think it’s that rare,
