    I live several hours away. Going to look at it tomorrow, 2X4, manual, extended cab, 4cyl. Negotiated to a price of $13,900 before tax and licencing. Getting the pre-buy jitters.

    Please give me a heads up. Thanks!!

    Quite a bit of rust. Seems to be just on the surface though?

    That is what a lot other people have said from the pictures, Its a northern MI car (salt). I am going to look at it in person tomorrow to either buy it or walk away.

    I’ve seen worse rust on newer Tacoma’s in salt states.

    Take that rust off and hit it with fluid film moving forward and you’ll be in business.

    As for the price.. eh 57k miles on a 2x4 access cab.. you can def get them lower I think. 13.9 isn’t bad but you can get a deal on this probably around 12.5 and steal it from them.

    I edited my post. I’m willing to bet you can get them to 12.5 (you’d be stealing it from them) but it’s up to you.

    If you’re happy paying that, go for it! I’m not in the business to tell people about their finances but that’s my thought.

    I was just starting to post that it’s a 5 lug. You can tell by the spring under rear.

    Welcome to TacomaWorld. Truck looks pretty good even coming from upper MI.
    Believe all 2015 Tacomas qualify for the current Corporate Toyota frame inspection, coating and / or replacement campaign.
    Refer to Tons of information on rust and / or rot prevention on this 2nd Gen Tacoma Forum.
    Best wishes to you and the Tacoma.

    Eh, I'm MN. That's not even rusted here haha, easily could be cleaned up. The low miles are nice, from all the ones I looked at here that seems a little more expensive for a 2wd in a snow state, but all the ones I saw also were breaking 100k on the odo.
