New guy- might buy this?

Hi guys- Maybe buying this ‘16 Taco or another Gen3.
75,000 mi. $28,000.
Wondering... after looking at pics, if any of you experienced owners would throw me any specifics to check prior to purchase. Much appreciated!
Cheers-

 

For me I would pass on that rig.

Good luck OP

 

Do hwy speeds, check for vibrations esp with the lift. Check at frame for rust. Check out what kind of suspension block vs suspension lift.

 

What's the price?

This makes all the difference, we need to know if she's a Ruth's Chris or a McDonald's kind of gal. In simple terms on the bar scale is it 8PM or 1AM hot

 

28K. Appreciate the responses so far!

 

What kind of tree does it come with?

If it’s an Oak tree that might be a good deal, but so many sellers these days are trying to throw in some ratty-ass pine trees with their trucks.

 

OP, my own personal opinion is that I would pass. But that is just me. Quick check and I am noticing the Blue Book is $21K to $25K.

I can't really comment on what to look for because once someone does their mods (CMC, etc.) I am not sure I can trust what was done. But that is just me ... I am conservative that way. Depending on where you are, a thorough rust check is in order. But personally I don't want to buy a truck someone heavily modified because I can't vouch for the work ...

Good luck to you !

 

“Almost new”

 

I think I dated that person once, damaged goods

 

How do you level a truck by adding the same amount of lift in the Front and Back?
Unless the truck had no rake before the lift?
The truck still looks raked. Which to me is a GOOD thing.

I’d pass on the truck myself.
But on for reasons of my own.
Mostly because I’m not in the market for a new(er) Tacoma.

 

If you’re interested in doing the same mods to a stock trd off road then compare the price of mods and stock OR with this one. Typically speaking you don’t get your $ back on mods. The best thing is to look at it closely along with the seller. Judge the book by the cover!

 

ALWAYS avoid buying someone else's project.

 

Never buy someone else's project truck. Your going to end up wanting a different bumper, or different wheels, or a different lift. Start with a clean un-modded truck and you will be much happier.

 

Almost new truck ,5 years old with 73k on it,lol

 

Ha! I wondered the same...
“a tree saver” -whatever that is (something for winching?)

 

Pass.

 

Fuel saver, less energy consumption, less trees to cut.

Blue blood conspiracy theory.

 

Hard pass

 

If you get serious have a qualified mechanic do an inspection (particularly since this has been modded) and give you a report so you can make an informed decision.
