    My friend is looking to buy a 2008 tacoma from the Toyota dealership but she’s worried about the rust, It’s got 167,000Km, V6 and I tried looking up the vin for the frame recall but nothing came up
    VIN: 5TELU42N68Z472782
    It’s listed for $17,995 Cad
    These are the pictures she sent over, what do you all think?

    I’d assume so, it’s being sold by the dealership.

    Thanks! I’ll let her know

    I appreciate all the feedback!

    It's all fine until you have to unbolt something! All the rusty bolt heads are going to round off!
