    Well, Hello,

    I finally purchased the truck I've always wanted - the 0'5 Speedway Blue Tacoma(or Taco...as some call it) X-Runner. It was purchased with 157k miles from a dealership in Bama - one owner with all the service records. The drive was very long as a I live in Florida. Some would say, "You're crazy." But, I don't care. I love my Taco. Finding this kind of Taco requires extensive research/rarely does the right one appear.

    At this point, I am performing preventative maintenance. It is much easier buying a high mileage vehicle when you're mechanically inclined. The spark plugs/air filter/cabin filter/oil were recently changed. Plans have been made to change the tranny fluid if applicable - I am unsure if it was ever changed/if it would be a bad idea since I am unaware to it ever being changed.

    All in all, I am very excited with this purchase. I cannot wait to interact with the forum and other members. I've already learned a lot from past posts.

    Thank You For Reading,



    Wean

    Welcome to the family. The service records did not indicate if they changed transmission fluids?
