Thinking about buying this 2008 Tacoma DC TRD Sport.

Hey guys,

First off this is a Canadian truck located in Ottawa, Ontario. It's a 2008 DCSB TRD sport with a 6 speed transmission. It has 90,000KM (59,000Miles) and its priced at 19,500$ Canadian.

Here's the link for the add. Pictures aren't up on it yet since it was just listed:

Is it a good deal?(May not be compared to you guys in the states)
Does the underbody have too much rust? They said it was undercoated. Doesn't look like it to me.
What should I look at when I go check it out of Saturday? I'm driving 4 hours to see it. Is it even worth it?

Here are some pictures they took for me:

 

Not a bad deal

The rust is pretty similar to what is on my '09

 

god that is so much rust!

Even the clamps in the engine compartment are full rust. Looks nice, minus the rust. but under 20k is good.

 

price is good and maybe in Canada that kinda rust is ok... if it were here in Va, I'd walk away immediately

 

rust rust rust. but its okay i suppose

 

Is it worth taking a look at it? Seeing you're from Canada you probably have the best knowledge.

You lucky guys don't live in cities where they use tons of salt during the winter!

 

Would I be able to use something like chassis saver? To clean it up? The price is pretty good compared to whats out there.

 

walk away from that truck bother ...DONT buy that truck.... you will regret
later .... WAyyyyyy to much rust... a year from now you have to deal with Gas/Fuel line leak, all bolts and nuts are corroded and freeze up...etc

 

Pretty much any vehicle over 5 years old up here looks like that

 

I would walk away I mean dang that is rusty

 

You can even see from the pic of the rad that it seems to be leaking. Ughh. I'm really upset. All the financing is set up. Stupid sale person took too long to send pictures of the undercarriage.

 

Any other opinions before I call them to get my deposit back?

 

Move somewhere where they don't salt the roads, then start looking for a vehicle. Good gawd that's a lot of rust...

 

Can't imagine how bad this looks to someone from Texas lol

 

Just scanning through, I don't think the rust looked too bad. In northern NH we get a foot of snow and an inch of salt on a weekly basis. Haggle on the pricing, get $1000 off and put that toward some frame work if it really bothers you.

 

Some parts of it don't look too bad, what really has me trouble is the fact that there are clips rusting in the engine bay. What would cause that? Also the picture of the control arms are pretty bad. Looks like there is rust in the wheel well too.

 

Also how does your 2008 look compared to this one?

 

Wen't with my gut and decided to ask for my deposit back. I'll keep searching. Maybe time to expand my market and see what you guys have down south. What site do you recommend?

 

It was a lot of rusted area but nothing looked beyond surface rust. I would have used the rust to haggle the price lower and then repaint the frame and maybe get some new control arms

 

They wouldn't even take 500$ off... All they were going to give me was a free oil spray.
