Buy this or put a new engine in my 98 Tacoma

i drove it. It was perfect. Yes I would plan to resell it. I never keep anything long. So I’m gonna pass.

 

Scooped hoods do not mean theyre supercharged. the sc was only an option and never standard, same goes for e-locker

the scooped hood looks to be oem. giveaway for me are the hood stickers and scooped hood insulator. usually people who add scooped hoods skip the hood insulator.

another clue is the "newer" style sr5 over fenders. this is a true "Highlander" trim model

 

So I got him down to $3600 for the rebuilt title!!! I’m buying it today I think.

 

wow thats really good

 

I thought so. Has a rough Carfax but it’s been all fixed and inspected. I drove it highway speeds and it drives really nice. No weird noises or shakes.

 

Make sure your insurance company will cover a car with a rebuilt or salvage title. Some won’t, some will but may require an inspection prior to writing.

 

I’m gonna call right now and make sure.

 

How did you make out?

 

How's the frame?
In Arizona you can get a salvaged title changed to to regular witha DOT inspection.
Plus, who cares if you plan on keeping it;.
It looks really nice...

 

I didn’t end up buying it. I want a clean title vehicle that hasn’t been wrecked. I paid for the Carfax on it and it was in 3 different accidents!!!

 

For 3k I’d still buy it and wouldn’t even feel bad if I crashed it again. Beater daily. Like you said, it drives nice and no shakes!

 

Ditto. For $3600 I would drive the wheels off of it.
