crazy good deal on a taco! opinions please

i havent seen it personally or pictures yet but soon i as i do i will update the thread...it is a 98 trd xcab 4x4 3.4 with 150k for 5500!!! the catch, i guess the body is pretty F*%&ed up but no biggie right? 4x4 only, well daily driver but who needs looks haha...i do prefer looks tho lol...is it possible to get a cab and bed through toyota? another thing is i do not have the accessories for the task...i would defintly go junk yard shopping for a cab and bed but usually not to much luck if its a junk yard right?
where else could i look for a cab and bed???

the reason he is selling...because at first he was going to turn it into a crawler and decided to go with a dc instead...he got the truck for cheap and only wants what he paid into it...its located in klamath falls oregon which im in cali...so possibly smog issue...soon as i get more info on the truck i will update but for now...

thanks, and opinions are very welcomed

 

whered you find that at? K-falls Craigslist?

 

Well we cant really give you much input without seeing the truck. Otherwise its we'll just be pullling advice right out of our asses...

 

No, a buddy of mine sold a campershell to him and he mentioned to my friend he had a truck for sale

 

Nope lol that's why I will update when pics are available...but what about getting a cab or bed anyone have thoughts on that?

 

not to rain on your parade but that sounds like a crappy deal.

 

No problem, that's why I posted a thread, why so?
$5500 oh its supercharged with headers also...

 

I picked up a 2000 trd 4x4 v6 with 130k miles on it for $7500. And it is in pristine condition. For one there will be a salvage title if you swap cabs. Also if it is damaged that bad I would be worried about the frame. If you look around ALOT you will be able to find a clean truck similar to the one you found for a grand or 2 more. Just be patient and look on craigslist everyday as well as autotrader and carsoup.

 

Yea I mean I'm not totally diggin it because I was thinkin the same about the frame too, I'm prolly not going to buy it but for people who want a taco to make a crawler I have his number just pm for it...and yea man I've been on craigslist since november have an app on my phone for all of cali, and oregon...jus dreamin at the moment til fireseason gets here so that way I can apply for a loan n get me a taco worth sumthn...

 

I dont think its that superb of a deal. Banged up body could be an indication of someone that doesnt take care of his things...
Its a buyers market, but when a good deal on a truck comes up, you have to move quick.

 

If you're looking in Oregon, this is the best deal I've seen in Portland.

Its a '97 with only 98k miles, asking $8k. Seems like a good deal, assuming it checks out in person.

I paid $7500 for my '97 with 140k, and that was the best deal by far I could find at the time.

 

That is good deal, I've found some nice 2000s for around 9000 trds ran a lil highr towards 10k, people don't want to sell such a good vehicle below kbb lol...right now I'm just looking but here in a few months it will be serious tacoma huntin lol
