New Tacoma owner..what to look for

that I did along with carfax

 

You do , I leave 3 days later for a trip so don’t get a lot of time until then

 

Good call out , I didn’t notice that. I zoomed in the exhaust has the trd etc. I also ran vin and it says pro. Makes me wonder why someone swapped it

 

Could have traded it. It is just a cosmetic piece. Idk if all of that is necessarily standard either, but I could be wrong. There's a lot of people willing to pay or trade for parts such as the hood scooped hood or TRD Pro cosmetics

 

That or it looks like sat at a dealer for a month before 2nd owner bought it. Wonder if someone swapped it out while it sat at dealer

 

Recall is :
Recall #20TB02 SAFETY RECALL 20TA02 (INTERIM

First owner had it for a year and a half. Second had it for 5 months . Wasn’t sold on the 2 owner piece but it looked super clean Compared to the others I found

 

I am not gonna tell you what to base your decision to buy a vehicle on. If you are asking a guy on the Internet what to look for then my advise is to hire someone that knows what to look for.

 

If it's a Pro, you know it hasn't been off roared

 

This sort of post adds nothing?

 

Oh but it does, it say's pay a person that knows what to look for to look at it.

 

The whole point of this site is DIY. Why pay someone to look for something you can find yourself by getting community insights and experiences?

 

Make sure it has wheels and an engine. Those things are important

 

Good Point. If not comfortable a second opinion might not be a bad idea either. I was thinking.

 

Every car has its quirks that unless you have owned one before you don’t know what to look for. Like Jeep and it’s death wobble for one example etc. that is why I said outside of the obvious in the org post

 

I was just saying, maybe don't gotta pay the person, but bring along some help.

 

if you have a friend that can run the vin you can contact the last owner without getting your friend in trouble say I found your name on a receipt in the glove box. Can you tell me why you got rid of the truck.
