Should I buy this?

1996 Toyota 4x4 extended cab.
V6 118k miles, Straight body, good paint & interior.
Has wear on drivers seat.
Aftermarket aluminum wheels, 90% tread on tires.
Needs new head gaskets, otherwise runs great. $600

 

That doesnt look like a tacoma to me.
Actually it definately is not.

 

Luv the old hilux's but the 3.0s are not a fun motor to work with. If you get it make sure to plain the block, heads and use updated head gaskets like Felpro.

 

It looks like a 94 to me, 92-95ish ...

But $600 ... yea I'd go for it. Polish it up and make a profit.

 

it's a pre taco but not a bad price for 600

 

X2 that is off. That doesn't look like a t100 to me either but I could be wrong there.

 

id buy it.

 

I'd definitely check it out. Show up with $475-500.

Keep an extra $50 in your back pocket just in case.

 

This is not a '96, and not a Tacoma.... if they are advertising it as a '96, I'd be suspicious. And I would never buy a Toyota with the 3.0L V6, but that's just me.

 

offer 400-500 so you can atleast get your money back in scrap

 

For $600 I'd jump on it...

You can always swap in 3.4L...

 

i'd take it if it was over here

 

me either. Gutless gas hog POS motor.

But if you can get it really cheap then just swap a 5vzfe in it...but i bet there is a lot on it that needs brushed up on...just becareful man..

 

its a toyota pickup 91-95 3vz not a fun motor....head gasket problems....had one and sold it for $200

 

I second that the 3.0's can be a pain to mess with. I have had two and both had the same problems

 

a friend of mine had a toy pickup with the 3.0, rolled from 200-300k miles no problems at all , maybe he got lucky , not close to as good as a 22r though, sounds decent to me at 600, i'd say listen to lex

 

Honestly, for 600 Bucks I don't really see how you could go wrong. I think it is all in the way you drive it and mine had problems before I ever bought them and I knew that up front. I guess I should have said that

 

So did you buy or at least go look at it?
