    I find photos, or even if you're inspecting in person;the visual or the esthetic condition, are a very difficult way to see the value in a first gen Tacoma. The real value in these is the mechanical side of them. And that cannot be inspected through a picture. If the mechanicals are in great shape and the price is reasonable because the outside condition is crap, then that could be a fair price. Truly depends on the mechanical side of it

    For 210k it also depends on the engine if it’s a 4 cyl that’s a good deal but the 6 cylinders aren’t as bulletproof it seems good to me but you gotta check the frame as well

    If it runs well and the 4x4 engages then $2700 is a steal.

    Seems like a good deal to me. My truck also has a hole in the seat from smoking/someone putting out their cigarette on it. Let me know how that Marco paint job goes may get one later on for my truck

    It's a prerunner. More likely a 3rz
