Should I buy....

2011 TRD Sport
149,000 on the dash
Service records available
For $14,000

 

Looks like a clean buy

 

seems fair to me. paid 21k for my 2011 with 31k on the dash last year.

 

I payed 13900 for an 06 with 82k

 

I got lucky they were asking 14600 but the bank wouldnt finance it for that much cause of the age the most I could get was 13900 I told the sales person if you don't take 13900 I walk

 

Seems like a fair price to me, but I live in California. Most of these are going for 17k-20k with that milage.

 

bought the same truck, mine is access cab, brand new in 2011. Now 68,000 miles later, I have no regrets whatsoever and have had zero issues. good luck

 

Same here, but purchased new in 2010 and have 146K trouble free miles. Such a great vehicle. And they hold their value pretty well. I think I paid $31,000 in 2010 out the door. Still has retained 40% or so of original price after almost 10 years and 150k, that's pretty darn great in my book!

OP- I would be comfortable buying that.

 

Well, it does have the added HP of the skeewp.

 

Since it's in Maryland, check the frame for rust.

Decide if a prerunner will meet your needs.

 

Looks good when inspected on the lift, do have a AWD Highlander for winter snow.

 

Does it have the CRC coating applied to the frame? Frame rust is the one thing I would worry greatly about. I'm in Maryland also, lost my 2000 Taco to frame rust. So far my 2010 has held up though, but I did get the CRC coating applied by Toyota. Is that at Westminster Koons?

 

Not sure, I’ll inquire about that. Yes that is Westminster

 

If it doesn't have the CRC coating applied, the dealer will apply it for free.

 

Tell them to knock $500 off since the alignment cams are seized. In all likelihood, they are seized tight and will need to be cut out and replaced. Maryland sucks, man.

 

Just messaged them, thanks for the info!!

 

It def does not have the CRC coating, but despite that the frame looks really good in terms of (lack of) rust. I'd have them apply the coating if you purchase it. It is free to have them do it.

If it has a Reese hitch, check that for rust. My factory Reece hitch was a magnet for rust.

 

Oh, Toyota calls for a transmission flush every 60,000, which I doubt has been done. Maybe use that to help beat them up on price. Tell them the power steering fluid is dirty as well. Spark plugs are supposed to be changed every 30k per Toyota, so maybe hit them on the head with that since service records are available and I doubt that has been done.

 

WOW! That truck is clean!
