This Poor Taco...

Was browsing FB marketplace and this popped up.




Looks like a typical stock Taco. Nothing much going on.


180K miles, not terrible. These things last if taken care of.


Red, I like red. Wait a minute... that back seat doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the interior.


Is that mud? Oh no, it's bed liner. Why did they put it on the mud flaps, and the tailgate handle, and the step tubes? Fun, the step tubes are missing the step pads.


Huh, small chunk missing from the bumper by the license plate light. At least they didn't spray the bumper plastics.


Well I guess they didn't feel like doing the grill or filler pieces under the headlights for some reason.


Poor Taco... What does the seller have to say?

What the heck were they thinking?????????.............Oh yeah, they weren't

 

After seeing the clear coat on these things, makes sense to me...

 

To each there own. But definitely not for me!!!

 

That's unfortunate and lazy. Paint the inner door jambs with matching paint, remove things like tailgate handle, mudflaps, lower grill, and tape off rubber moulding around the windows and that truck wouldn't look that bad.

 

Maybe a good wax job will help.

 

egads......

Look closely. That "finish" has texture. Did the owner plastidip the whole truck???

 

bedliner

I bedlinered my jeep, was the best thing I did to that thing with the vegetation around here. No more pin stripes and gashes. I went black though so it was less obvious.

 

The same person is selling this 2000 Tacoma, it's amazing how clean this Tacoma looks with 351567 miles, especially the bed without a liner (living in the Northeast this would never happen): https://austin.craigslist.org/ctd/d/austin-2000-toyota-tacoma-xtracab/7245552876.html

 

That 2000 with 351,000 mi. is slick, too bad it's 2 whl. dr., looks waaaaay better than the bed liner one.

 

side tubes that offer zero protection off road
a lowered front end that would've cost less to raise up than what was spent on destroying the paint

Looks like a pile of shit. What’s up with the miss matched oak/gray interior?

And the $100 bedliner job they didn’t even mask the rubber seals or the roof gutter covers.

I’ll give them $3.50

surprised they didn’t ship this pos off to Middle East or Africa.

 

aaaaaaaaaaaargh my eyes

 

Still can't get over them calling this "in great shape and very clean".

 

Yikessss

 

lmao yeah maybe for those with cataracts

 

Just sad.
