    Well here it is, I finally bought my first 98 Tacoma after about 1 year or so of searching. Would like to know if I overpaid for it or not. It is a 98 Tacoma SR5 Ext Cab, 4X4, PW, PL, 5 speed manual. It has 88K miles, clean carfax, and 1 owner truck. The frame was inspected and there is no rust, truck was actually from NC. Previous owner had all fluids and tune-up completed by Toyota dealership and brand new tires all within the last 3 months. Purchase price was $5800. Thanks

    Good find. It took me a while to find mine. I didn't have that long to look but I found one out in Suffolk.
    BTW I'm in VB. I haven't had a chance to meet up with any ot the local guys but I saw they had a trip down to the OBX looked fun. Check out the regional forum for the Tidewater thread.
