Would you buy it? Rust concern

Looking into purchasing this 2003 tacoma. Only 64k miles … mint body and interior but I’m concerned with the amount of rust on frame. It was coated but you can see it’s pretty bad under the coat. Any concern with this? Anything you can do to fix or prevent further corrosion? Thanks in advance.

 

Fawk that. Buy it for the cab, the frame is trash.

 

Unless it's a dirt cheap winter beater (which I doubt), I wouldn't touch it.

 

RUN! RUN very fast!

 

That's a no from me dawg. Whatever they coated it with either trapped moisture or was a poor attempt to cover up rust.

 

Kind of a nice candidate for a frame swap. Really nice body with low mileage engine...

Otherwise pass.

 

∆∆∆∆∆ What everyone else said above.

 

Yeah, that's my thoughts as well.

 

Absolutely not

 

Run Forest, run ! That chunk of angle iron hackery in the front- did the original cross member rot away?

 

It looks like my cast iron skillet after I cook bacon in it, and then throw in eggs and stuff starts sticking everywhere and getting crusty, so yes, I'm in! if its free...

 

Looks like someone sprayed a bunch of undercoating over rust. They even sprayed the driveshaft. That's pretty sketchy.....

 

Looks sketchy

 

No wayy!? How long ago did they do the frame swap?

 

I thought that campaign expired.

 

Thats what I thought?

 

Probably go over a speed bump and the rust will all drop off in big flakes, taking the rest of the undercoating with it. Otherwise, it's not a bad truck.

 

Nope

The owner of that truck should roll it from the lift out to the street and put a for sale sign on it, - or scrap it.
