Should I buy this truck. 2017 Limited

F that man.
Save up for a few more months and buy something clean.

 

the one in ur profile pic. Is it 4x4. Need a black or white

 

heh I remember when I bought my lexus. salvage title due to light front end damage. turns out the k member was bent.

 

yeah maybe maybe 15 to 17k for a trd or a pro ouch

 

Yeah may do that. I will definitely bring him down.

best comment so far.

 

Yes, 4x4, silver...

 

...just never know with those salvage titles. Couple grand, not the end of the world. $20K? No fucking way.

 

Being 5 hours away I personally would not consider the vehicle.
That said, at a minimum a condition of purchase should be that you are able to
- take it on a long test drive
- take it to an independent mechanic that knows Tacoma's and have them check the vehicle over. Yes, that cost you some money.
- Based on the mechanics inspection negotiate the price down. For me it is too high even for a Tacoma. The killer is the salvage title.
- Check with your DMV that licensing a salvaged titled vehicle will not be a problem.

 

yes he gave me the vin number.. Ran it online and it looks bad..its way fucked up

 

before pics are coming get ready.

 

I raised two daughters, now in there 40's I used to tell them "when in doubt-don't" " don't do anything you wouldn't be proud to tell your mom" Let common sense prevail.

Mrtacoman88 is right.

 

Personally I wouldn’t buy it. If you check it out and repairs were done at a reputable shop then make him a lowball offer. You can still walk away.

 

As others have stated check with your insurance comp
Some will not insure salvage titled vehicles.

 

Again, it's a loser unless perhaps you are going to use this thing for a work truck and beat the shit out of it and leave it for dead down the road.
I've been through this before. Don't let your emotions get the best of you here. Many folks have weighed in with their thoughts. Run.

Do you mind if I ask how old you are?

 

Sage advice.

 

Yes I am walking away the before pics dont look good. you can find anything online nowadays.

I am 32 btw.

 

Holy shit man!
Good on your for walking.
Something better will turn up that you will be proud of.
That taco was hammered hard. Way hard.

 

yes poor taco. I just talked to him prior to running the vin. Hispanic guy on the phone said minor fender on the right LOL

 

Makes me wonder if the truck even got new airbags in it. Sure looks like he drove under something
