I'm buying one of these, which would you buy?

option c all the way, v6 4x4 and TRD, the only thing that could make it better IMO is if it were a double cab, but IMO 4x4 is more important then 4 doors.

 

DC is far> than access cab.
however, 4x4 is a variable....
or wait until you can find a 4x4 DC.

 

which has best looking interior? That's usually a GREAT indicator of how well the truck has been taken care of.

 

since you stated that 4wd is not needed i voted for the 04 double cab. from my experience double cabs hold value the best, and since 4wd is not needed, you should be ok. If you go for the double cab i would offer 10K then try to work the seller down to at most 12K. all look nice and clean. if the space is needed i would go with the dc

good luck!


i guess it depends which you need or would rather have... a 4x4 or the space of a Double Cab. Have fun choosing. If none of them are what you want, then keep looking. Be sure to check the frame for rust!

 

They all are great. It depends on which one you like best. To me, I'll take the Option C or the 4x4 one because it can do everything as I need it on any season, snow or not. 4x4 is the supercharge. It's kool...

 

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm going to check out the 2004 DC right now!

 

Test drove option B.

And I gotta tell you, that truck was shit. A/C didn't work, lot's of cosmetic issues, didn't even bother opening the hood, not to even mention the guy lied about his MPG's saying that he gets 24mpg.. I LOL'ed! I could smell the lies coming from a mile away. I should've disqualified this option purely from his ridiculous ad posting.

On to the next one.

 

If you don't need 4x4 i'd go with A. They all look pretty good though. You'll get 150K+ miles outta all of em

 

all are in the same price range roughly I would say go with the 4X4 for a bonus and to have it when you need it ... my .02

 

Searched for many months to find mine, They can look so good in pics... When i went eyes on. Most were severely Abused, Owners dishonest & many did not even have Pink slip in hand..
Keep searching for the one you want, You will have her for a long time.. Better to wait and get what you want then rush into one...
I have owned two Tacoma access cabs in the past, never saw myself as Four- Door Guy....But let me share.... It is NICE!!!! & looks very good going down the road and parked with a bit of TLC!!! I got comps right away from other Tacoma owners going down the freeways..
03 TRD Off Road Edition 2WD 163,000 Got her for 10G... No haggling..
Truck was not perfect inside or out, minor flaws i can accept, The engine, suspension & frame were on point! All clean, tight & she is quick!
Just my 2cents...
Good luck, they are getting more difficult to find.

Congratulations on your beautiful truck! my fav color too, I'm Jelly

Thank you for your response, it helps to put things into perspective.

 

LOL, what's with this photo for Option C?

 

showing the trucks off road capability?

 

Is it me or the whole picture was tilted to make it look like if it were going uphill? Look at the horizon..

-Being very skeptical about things

 

i fixed it in PS, this should be about the right angle

 

That looks about right. Good work!

 

Heh heh......alllllrrriiiggghhhttt.......





I go with C. It's looks purty kewl

 

Option C
4x4 TRD is sweet, and i like the extra cab better b/c you keep the 6ft bed. also can usually negotiate out of being the driver with friends around b/c of small back seat.

also it's a private seller so don't have to screw with dealer fees

Option A is my backup

 

I chose (C) You will love having the 4x4 to play and work with.

 

Option C. You can paint those bumpers later to match. Plus, I HATE that ugly tan interior. Grey is where it's at. If I wanted to ride in a Toyota with a tan interior I'd hop in an 85 pickup.
