    1996 Tacoma LX
    Hey Guys,

    I have a 1996 Toyota Tacoma LX which I bought from this guy who kept it in his garage for decades. It only had 10k miles when I got it in 2016.

    Now it has 28k but it’s in excellent condition. It runs well and there is no exterior damage. Everything is stock. I’m not an expert in Tacoma valuation, but how much is it worth? I am willing to sell it potentially.

    Details:
    Year: 1996
    Miles: 28k
    Condition: Excellent
    Location: Calabasas, CA
    Windows: Crank Handle
    4 Cylinder

    Everything works

    If the A/C and everything works, and it’s a stick shift, eight to ten grand?

    Air-conditioning? Power windows and locks? Tilt wheel? The LX is the one between the base and the SR5, right?

    Bonus points for low miles and the access cab, but being 2WD will limit the pool of buyers.

    It's kind of a unicorn, so I suppose it's worth what an enthusiast would pay for it. Most of the general public would see it as an old truck, unfortunately.

    Very nice truck! :thumbsup:

    And also, my estimated value is what I think a dealer would try to sell it for. I’d probably give you five grand or so.

    Eighty dollars?!?! I’ll give him the cash right now!

    Eighty grand...? o_O :rofl:

    I know Tacomas are great trucks, and that we all love our trucks, but come on!

    California Tacos tend to be free of rust!

    @BartMaster1234 had a ‘98 extra cab 2WD similar to yours (but V6/5-speed) with over 400K miles that was beaten to shit, but the frame was clean enough to eat off of!

    Did it pass smog?

    I’m definitely jealous of your truck...

    Early 1st Gens (1995-1997) are an endangered species!
