05 Tacoma in my area for sale

a super clean 05 Tacoma TRD Offroad access cab
167k miles
Brand new Toyota frame on it
Asking 9900 if anyone is looking for a little something

 

"110% clean body..four doors with the half doors in back" ..so not a 4 door
$ no price..? Hmmm maybe blue book?
Truck looks clean though. ..
Buyers should always have vehicles checked by trusted independent mechanic.
Sellers say all sorts of things...
But once this baby is checked out...it seems like at a good price it'd be a great truck.

 

Check for head gasket issue,which most start having problems right at that millage.So so deal if you ask me for a 14 year old access cab sr5 truck with 170k and so so wheels.

 

The guy selling it is a trusted mechanic, he’s done plenty of my work when I needed it. Yeah he may have worded the doors wrong but big deal.

 

Why dont you buy it ?

 

Cuz I already own a 14 and don’t need it? Just putting it on here figuring someone could be interested.

 

Nice truck! Someone would be lucky to pick up if they get the st Patty’s day luck and don’t have any engine issues

 

Huh decided to read into that, didn’t know there was so many head gasket problems around that time

 

$9,900-$3,000 for inevitable head gasket replacement...

 

Oof that’s rough

 

Sounds like describing an ACCESS CAB, which most certainly has FOUR DOORS. Might be that some of the <=2004 models had 3 door options, but EVERY 2005+ will either be 2-door (regular cab) or 4-door (access or double cab).

 

There aren't. Head gasket problems are rare. The 5 people who had head gasket problems flipped out and blamed defective design when they found out that some aspect of the mating surface or gasket had been revised in a newer year. There is NO special problem with 2005 with respect to head gaskets failing at an unusually high rate.

 

2005 from PA is either going to have a brand new frame, which alone is worth more than $9900, or it will be absolutely worthless, since the extended frame warranty is expired and its close to breaking in two.

 

nah only some have issues.....

 

And the rest have the original head gasket design Toyota replaced mid 2006 MY run.

 

My 2005 Access Cab just blew its head gasket in December at 150k miles. Out the door at $3250 for head gasket, water pump, timing belt. Wasn't fun....

 

yeah im hoping I got lucky. probably not though since build date was nov 05, only at 103k miles though

 

I hope you do get lucky! I can't really complain too much about it though. Owned it for 8 years, put 85k miles on it and it only needed regular maintenance plus 1 radio antenna. Can't say that for any other vehicle I've owned. New Tacos are too expensive and too fancy! I'm sticking with it til at least the next $3000 fix.

 

did they have to machine your heads? cause I feel like that would make or break it on deciding to fix it or do a complete swap for me

 

Yup, they had to resurface the cylinder heads.
