Toyota SR5 1993

Hello Tacoma world!

I need your help, I came across this 1993 tayota SR5 pick up truck. It’s a 4x4 with 130k miles and the truck is in a great condition, the only fixing is the water pump. Everything is stock besides the wheels and the shell. The owner really kept up with the maintenance and the inside is really clean everything from the AC and power windows work, it even has a sun roof. They are asking for 12,650.

 

Holy crap it's clean!

 

It clean but get the f out with that price.
And its rite at the milage to blow a head gasket.
$6500 tops.
That's more them that truck cost new.

 

Definitely way over priced. But if you REALLY want the truck then more power to you

 

I owned a 1995 version of this same truck right before Toyota introduced the Tacoma in 95.5.
I put 250k trouble free miles on mine in 10 years before selling to a friend who put another 100k before they sold it. I did spot it one day at the Airport in 2014 still on the road but rough due to VT Winters.
The SR5 model was THE top of line trim level. You didn't post interior photos but I had the sunroof & 7 way sport bucket seats that very comfortable. Makes my 2013 seat look cheap. I think I paid close to 19k new in 1995.
As far as water pump, do the timing belt at same time. I didn't have any trouble with my head gasket. You can run the VIN at any Toyota dealer to see if that truck was affected. Also there was a Recall campaign that since expired unfortunately but you never know what a dealer may do for you.

I would but that truck in a heartbeat. Vermont road salt killed most old Yotas.
As far as overprice, look at auction sites sold listings at eBay. These trucks are getting harder to find and sell pretty good in 10-13k range. If you think it's overpriced, look for yourself. I definitely would check the VIN.

Nice truck. Is it the 5 speed or 4 speed auto?

 

Also that truck was made in Japan.

 

It's a very nice, clean truck. I like the options, camper shell, Bilstein shocks, tinted windows, chrome mirrors, and OEM aluminum alloy wheels. I'm guessing that it has a Limited version trim package option when the previous owner bought it. I would negotiate a lower sale price to replace the water pump & timing belts and get rid of the OEM running boards for better Nerf bars. I hope that you decide to buy it.

 

@ Simon’s Mom so true

 

These are going way up in value lately. In Florida an early 90s will go as high as 15k.
