    Has anybody seen a Tacoma like this before? It is available near me, decent price, incredibly low miles. But the paint is a little off putting. On the other hand, It's growing on me a bit more as I look at it.

    Ghetto resell pearl. I don't think Toyota ever offered a pearl white on a Tacoma

    That's barely glossy, they probably didn't even clear coat it. $200 paint job

    So that isn't original? I have never seen a pearl white Tacoma.

    Not original unless someone got a mixed wrong batch Lunar Mist. Tacoma are like women don't jump on a grenade just because the sun went down. A new day will come

    I can't really tell what color it is on my monitor. It could be OE, or not. The lighting is horrid. It may be the pale gold or silver color. Or as others suggest, a repaint of another color.

    Certainly the decal kit, bull bar and floozy side steps aren't OE. But they are all easy to remove.

    I'd do some more checking. If you open the doors/tailgate underhood you'll know if it was a color change or not.

    Also be very sure it's not a salvage title. In some ways it almost screams 'my bed was whacked, and they fixed me with a used one'. Which is all well and good, but some insurers won't cover salvage titles, and they are worth about 1/2 of a non salvage.
