    New member, new owner.

    I have always wanted a Tacoma, but never got around to buying one. Recently, my employer told me his gf wanted to sell her late father's (mostly) garaged, 1997 SR5 V6 4x4 supercharged Tacoma, with 127,890 miles.

    I told my employer I was interested before I researched their resale value. Minimum blue book without the supercharger was $6,000. Fortunately, they agreed to sell it to me for $2,000.

    I love this truck but I feel bad for my Altima - it may never be driven again!

    Following are a few pictures ...
