Let's see the Most Expensive 1st Gens 4 Sale

2oo3 $16k with 59k miles oak interior
looks like its never seen a lick of PA snow
is it located near you
are those the same type of seats you have in yours currently?

 

Yes that's exactly what my interior looks like. Very similar truck but I don't have the V6 or rear diff locker....mine has couple thousand less miles though. I'm right outside Philly so that truck is close by. Not too many in the northeast stay that nice it seems.

Look at the frame on this one in the last pic

I was just wondering how those seats compare to what I have for comfort lol
... it is one of the top reasons for ditching the 1st gen

yikes! that is getting ready to snap in half

 

Honestly the seats get a little uncomfortable on longer rides but doesn't bother me too much.

For sure that's about to snap, at least the seller is being up front and not hiding it!

 

darnit, now I gotta find one of these models to test the seats out against mine
they appear to be quite different and are SR5 seats, too

was your '97 frame in that same/similar condition?

Try them out they might be at least marginally better, worth a shot lol.

My 97 wasn't nearly as bad, I was actually surprised when it failed. I remember it having surface rust but no visible holes. The hammer went through on the inside of the frame near the front leaf shackles, which I've since learned is the common spot to check.

 

haha, that's a hard pass. yeesh. Definitely a "hun you need to sell that dam truck so we can fit our oversize family in a family hauler!"

 

"Power window and locks"...…...crank windows in pictures, lol

 

Wonder what this one will sell for? Clean and nicely equipped. Solid frame?

Not the most expensive, maybe the most reasonable?

$10k for a truck with almost 270k miles
wow i dunno wot to say!
$15k for half as many miles not unreasonable then?

 

Selling your truck?

 

not me, no, wheels gotta fall off 1st lol

 

I'm not sure how much the Craigslist trucks actually sell for, but the ones I see posted around here disappear from the list. So they are either selling or trading for something.

I think it's GREAT to see Tacoma owners in this club take so much pride in their vehicles. It definitely helps keep Tacoma resale values high all around the country.

 

the true phenom may only be realised in the next decade when those 3rd gen 'lemons' that are out there start hitting the used market and the well-kept & maintained 1st gens rival their used market price

 

$10k onit now bids end today

 

21k for a 04...

 

This one sold new for $24,173 and almost 20 years and 69k miles later, it sells used for over $10k. That's some GREAT resale value.
