1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

what is the correct font for the Tacoma logo that is on my tailgate?

 

@eon_blue

If you wanna do engine work Or @Speedytech7 if you want a parts truck

 

Anyone??

 

I know him

 

I paid a little over for my pristine 2004 DBLCAB w/51,000 in 2015. Was like a brand new 2004 in 2015. 1st gens are the best and most bulletproof.

 

Shipping will rape you

 

Ill give him 4k

 

Lolol

 

Mustard, awesome classic color too

 

they do have nicer fenders...
or do they

 

I paid significantly less for my 04 with 46k on it in 2017. More than 20k is entering newer truck territory for me.

 

yeah low mileage double cabs have even crazier resale value.

I was set on a 1st gen mostly because I loved that '99 Prerunner I had back in the day, even though I would get that thing stuck everywhere every single time we went off pavement lol. I was ~18/19 years old at the time and couldn't really even afford good tires, but had a lot of fun in that truck. Always wished that it was 4x4 though.

Fast forward 12 years and when I knew I might actually be able to afford the hobby, I went looking and eventually found my truck...pretty much the same as my old one but a few years newer, red, and with 4x4. Oh and a manual trans which was another 'must have' on my list.

 

Here on the west coast I'd imagine an extra cab 04 with the 3.4l v6 and 4wd w/46k on it would go for around $14-$15k.

Same truck with the 4 banger, maybe closer to $12k.

Make it a double cab and add ~ $4k to that price lol. People want vehicles with room nowadays, even their small vehicles.

 

damn $40k ~ $50k+ (if on loan,etc) is disposable

 

Isn't what they cost new? Last time I checked anyways

 

I have no idea

 

Mines the 4 cyl and sold for $15.5k. Relatively rust free also drove up the price.

 

what interest rate did you get on remaining loan?
I think mine was about 7.5% fixed in '97

 

They seem to be built that way, many electronics systems aren't serviceable and stop receiving updates within a few years.

Not to mention sealed transmissions and unit bearings that aren't serviceable
