Should i buy this Taco? 2011 Manual 2.7l 4 cylinder 180,000k

Hi Everyone
Signed up just to ask you all a question Dealership price is $17,500. Plus doc fee and taxes would be around 20,000. I went to check it out today did my own inspection, but i dont really know what to look for other than what i've read online.

So, the good:

Everything electronically works in the cab, ac, heater , temp gague.most of the lights
Engine seems to be in good shape.
Shocks and suspension seem good
shifting is smooth,
revs are smooth

The bad:

Running lights don’t work and the head lights are cloudy - cheap replace though
Clutch is squeaky when shifting
Missing the oil cap – will be replaced by dealer
Engine vibration on the shifter when on
Tires are around like 60% tread
Some body damage with a dent in the read bumper which will not be repaired by the dealership
Didnet scan the engine for any previous issues


What do you all think? Should I buy this thing?

 

20k for 200k miles essentially? What kind of warranty are they giving you, 3 year 100k mile? if there's no warranty, I'd say pass. Especially with the clutch squeak. Could be just the pedal assembly, or much worse.

 

oh heres a walkaroud vid from the dealer

ama! this thing will probably not last long. SO i'm hoping to make a decison soon

 

i believe its no warrenty since its used.

 

No way. Nope.

 

Did it have the frame replaced? New leaf springs? New inspection sticker? Unless this thing is absolutely perfect and you've got the money to burn, I'd say pass. That's a lot of miles for too much money.

 

Looks like the engine has been under water, salty water too or near the ocean? Just looks weird like it wasn't taken care of at all. Belt is almost done for too.

 

this is in Vancouver canada, closeish to the ocean. most of its time from the previous owner was in squamish i believe,

 

Wait, they let you drive it around with no oil cap??? WTF

 

If this isn't a Toyota dealer it's an auction truck. I'd say skip it.

 

another engine shot. damn shoulda took more pics dident know you guys would be on this so fast

 

its a toyota dealer

 

yeh i dident get to do a test drive. turned the engine on a reved it to 5K to watch the motor mounts. (ignition was good btw, same with the idle)

 

Squamish ,Whistler area uses a ton of salt in the winter. Could also have been a shuttle truck for mountain bikers, Tacomas are popular. I would pass.

 

Just doesn't look right. I'd skip it. Just my opinion.

 

16k canukistan copecs if I'm not mistaken... so like 10k usd

 

If it's Squamish Toyota it's overpriced

 

No way. I just bought a 2012 Regular cab 4wd, 5 sp, 2.7 liter with 78,000 miles (125,000 km) for $13,000 ($16,700 cdn) back in September. Access cab or not, I think that's way too much.

 

Pass, it's shit.

 

thanks, everyone,lol that's probably the most resounding no i've ever gotten on the interwebs. I will get a taco, one day..
