13K/Other Prices for a 1st gen

So I guess you did not put it in 4x4. One member bough the truck that he forgot to test 4x4 - ended up with rebuilding front hubs and front diff.
If you can't test 4x4 it is Prerunner .

 

I 100% agree. Luckily I didn’t. Could’ve caused some major problems I think.

 

Sounds like its worth 8k

 

Really?

 

Drain transfer case included

I think more pictures of the truck and engine are in order before throwing that statement.

 

Well I paid 14k for my 2003 trd double cab auto with 69,000 miles in October 2017. My frame looked like that, maybe a touch more rust but it had been undercoated and the original owner took everything to the dealer to be serviced including oil changes and had all receipts. So I had no problem paying the 14k. Oh and it was bone stock.

 

I’m back.

Seller asking 13k for the truck

It is nice!! A few dents here and there.

No timing belt service done yet.

 

Ext cab? Double? Id offer 11k and mention the timing belt which if you can't do it yourself will set you back about $800

 

Extra cab.

Neeeds new tires too.

 

I think I might low ball 9500

 

I'd go with 11 to start but would absolutely not pay more than 12

 

Well maybe I wouldn't insult the guy, maybe start with 10k

 

If you really want to be scared check out edmunds. Most of the used car dealers out here use it. The ultimate in low ball estimates. I had a dealership refer to that site to get an estimate of what they would offer me... $2500!!

 

Seller says 12k is the best

 

I would go back and offer 11,200 one more time and tell him because you have an IMMEDIATE $800 you have to shell out because of the timing belt a.k.a. ticking time bomb. And then say Ill deal with the tires.

 

If he goes even another 100 less like $11,900 then take it.

 

really nice rubber cost 800 to 900 or so too for your offroading adventures lol, is that timing belt quote of $800 a toyota dealer mechanic cost?

 

I had my timing belt/water pump replaced a few months ago and it cost about $750 from the mechanic I trust to do stuff that I can't.

 

$800 from one dealer, $1400 from another

12k is the final price.

Shoot or not?

 

You think 12 is a good deal?
