Found a killer deal on a truck! It sounds fishy though.

    So I have been looking for a different truck lately. As in a different Tacoma. And I have been searching for a good deal and I definitely found one if the truck is in good shape with no problems. I found a 2010 magnetic gray DCSB, TRD off road, SR5, 4WD, automatic, everything. It has 30.8k miles and it is only $23,995. The truck looks to be in good shape and it has had 2 previous owners and they both didn't have any problems with the truck. According to the carfax, everything is good. Does it still sound too good to be true? The truck isn't too far away and if the dealer still has it, I might go take a look at it.
    EDIT: Pics of truck on page 3. Not the TRD off road package. SR5 V6 4x4.

    Yes, double cab. Should've said that instead of 4 door. It's $7k below book value from a dealer :D

    I just hope there isn't anything wrong with it. Because if there isn't, I might buy it.

    I was actually trying to joke with you. Like tell me where to find it and I will buy it out from under you. Ha Ha I would never F someone like that. At least not some one i did not know.

    But it looks good to me but why are they selling it below book? I could see a private owner doing this just to make a quick sale but not a dealership unless there going below up.

    Be careful

    I know. I am definitely going to take it for a long test drive and listen to the engine and everything. If everything looks and runs good, it might be a go. It would be awesome if the truck was perfect. I just hope it isn't too good to be true. The dealership really doesn't work with toyotas much at all and I thought that they just might want to get rid of it.

    I think this because they have another one like it with only 21k miles and silver and it's only $27k which is a steal too.

    Why 2 owners on a two year old truck? That's a red flag to me. I suppose there's a plausible reason (second one bought on a lease return, only to be eaten by a clever land shark one day soon after), but it'd raise questions in my mind.

    I thought that too, but the second owner traded for a tundra. I don't think it was for problem reasons. I guess it wasn't big enough for them.

    Kind of dpressing if you ask me, that's pretty much my truck and thats all I can get for it? LOL. Actually sounds like a pretty good deal, I would go check it out. Does not hurt to look it over real good and drive it, you can always walk away if something does not seem right. What I would do though, is chek the maintenance done on it too. 30'000 if you not fimiliar is when plugs and fluids need changed, so see if that was done.

    Haha. This is just a good deal for this truck. You could more than likely get more even if you private partied it. But I will look over service records and the truck and good test drive before purchasing.

    That's what I paid for mine, Access Cab and no TRD. If it's a V6 AT then it's about 4-6k low at least in my area.
