Need an opinion or 2.

Yea i think thats what it comes down to. Although it says 3 owners they say the carfax i clean and shows all records so we shall see! It is good that i know a ton about these truck but i dont know exactly what to look for with the manual trans

 

Yea they said new tires and a nice clean and a tune up. They apparently just got it.

 

The truck is now in SC. It originated in NE. I know that there is some rust I was referring to the frame near the rear tire.....

 

I understand it's just hard to find a manual at that price even remotely close to me.... lol.

 

gotcha, I misunderstood here I assumed the car was still in Nebraska and you where considering traveling to get it therefore the worries and risk of traveling far for a used vehicle

yea man I hear you and agree, I flew from NY to Tulsa to pick up my tacoma because I wanted the manual 6 speed in spruce mica.
multiple local dealerships laughed at me when I went in looking for this specific truck "good luck you wont find one" "can only order one new for such a specific vehicle"


having the funds ready in hand and enough time waiting and searching, you will find the perfect truck. toyota made a lot of these and the manuals are out there, more than people realize imho


stay on the hunt, a lot of 05-10 tacomas are out there for sale right now with brand new freshly swapped frames, there will most certainly be a few manuals in that group.

 

I'm just wondering where you guys are finding all these 4 door manuals at this price point. The two others I called about... I got laughed at for a better price.

One was a 2010 w 119 on the clock and the other already sold. It was an 09 whith 140k

2010 is 18k and the 09 was listed for same price

 

These guys are willing to do 16k TTT included out the door. Its listed at 16.2


Sleezy catch phrases and all

 

Lmfao

 

No that's a freaking unicorn truck. Wanna sell it???

 

Yea pictures are just that. Wont be able to truly tell until I get eyes on it. Hopefully soon

 

Hope the engine and frame gets a good cleaning before you go look at it. Looks to likely spent offroading in SC in mud which appears to make the frame look more rusted than actual. You can see the the same layer of dirt in the engine bay on the hoses. OP, bring a screwdriver to poke around the frame to see if its surface rust and I would also pull the air filter to see if it's caked with dirt. I always suggest to bring a code reader when car searching, especially on used vehicles with no warranty. It already has a TPMS light on, you don't need more surprises. Heck, I even pulled a spark plug when I bought mine.

 

Last year I bought my first taco. 2008. 171K. 4.0 access cab 4x4.
It had just had factory frame and all that goes with it. One owner. $12000. I love this thing.

 

The mileage is the reason you paid 12

Congrats though

 

Now $12,000 for that seems a lot more reasonable for a buying price. don't confuse asking & buying. If the $16,000 can come down closer to $12,000, this would be way more in line. The difference in 135K & 170K is barely worth mentioning.

 

35000 miles on a vehicle is almost 4 years of driving in the eyes of the market. Some people dont care about that but I do. 136 on an 07 is damn good IMO.

 

for only 25k she could be yours today

 

Lol little hight right now. That's the color I've always wanted... other that silver streak Mika which is way more gettable. AND in a manual. You did well sir

 

@j_sav115

I might be in Rock Hill this Saturday if you want me to stop by and take a look at it?

 

Heck yea. I was planning on maybe coming up there Saturday but it all depends if the runner sells. I'll let you know by tomorrow. Thank tou!

 

I wonder why this one is so cheap?

Milage is 20k per year but still it looks clean....
