    Hi, I recently came across this Tacoma for a fairly cheap price and was hoping to get some of your opinions and thoughts on whether or not I should buy it.
    What do you think?

    Supposedly the engine was rebuilt around 270k. I was planning on taking it to a mechanic and having them take a look at it and perform a compression & leak down test.

    Good price. If your mechanic can confirm the engine is good, do it.
