    Hey folks, the time has come to sell my father's 1999 taco. He bought this truck in August 2004 and has daily driven it ever since. He bought this truck with about 170,XXX miles on the odometer and now it has 316k. All it has ever needed is a starter and an exhaust manifold. I have the receipt for some maintenance it received in 2019 (lower ball joints etc).

    Clean title in hand.

    This truck has absolutely no rust. The body does have some dings and dents, but overall in good shape for year and mileage.

    This vehicle has been very well taken care of, I cannot emphasize this enough. Please ask any and all questions and I will do my best to answer them.

    Pros:
    -Beyond reliable. This truck has been daily driven for over 16 years and has never, ever not started. This truck has been nothing but good to our family.
    -The sr5 trim for this model year includes cruise control, power windows, and power door locks (all of which works)
    -These five lug tacomas have a surprisingly comfortable ride. the suspension is nice and the 2.4 runs like a sewing machine (see attached video).
    -No rust, this truck was bought in Macon Georgia in 1999 and as far as I know has never left (edit: I don't believe it has ever been owned outside of the state of Georgia, truck is currently in Atlanta). The exhaust piping does have surface rust but that is it, undercarriage is completely clean.

    Cons:
    -The transmission slipped a little bit when he bought it in 2004, 146 thousand miles later its still fine. I can't promise it will continue to be that way forever, but we have been thoroughly impressed at its staying power. It does shift into reverse kind of clunkily sometimes but it always works.
    -The driver side door doesn't like to be unlocked from the outside. We think it might be a hanger inside the door but we really couldn't say.
    -My dad noticed that the sunroof started to slow down when he opened and closed it, he stopped using it out of concern it would stop working while it was open. We have the paperwork from the company that installed it (previous owner had it installed).
    -Paint is fading on surfaces in direct contact with sun, I don't know what the deal is there. The truck has gotten its fair share of wax over the years.

    For sale in Atlanta area.
    Asking $3,000.

    I filmed a quick walkaround, hear the truck run and take a look!

    If it was a manual, I'd be on way to Georgia to get it. Nice truck, GLWS.
