Good price on a 2013 4x2 Double Cab TRD Sport Prerunner?

Hey folks. I’m going to be in the market for an upgrade to my current Tacoma. Buddy of mine is selling his truck and said he’d let me have first crack at it, full inspection and all. It’s two wheel drive but is a 2013 double cab Tacoma with the TRD Sport package. It’s got around 120,000 miles on it. He’s asking $19,000. Considering current the market is that an average or pretty good deal? Or would you steer clear? Picture of the truck is uploaded.

 

That sounds like a pretty good deal for a Double Cab in this market.
2013-2015 are the best years in my opinion.

 

Has water pump/timing belt been replaced recently?

for reference rule of thumb 2nd gen DC Prerunners with 50k mile on them have been going for $30k and with 100k miles been going for $25k, give or take…. This is in So Cal tho.

 

1GRFE is timing chain

 

Was wondering that when I typed it
Thanks

 

Based on other posts I've seen here, $19k isn't unheard of for a Prerunner in this market. Just make sure you can live with not having 4WD. Considering you are in Georgia I'd assume 2WD is not much of a problem but depends how you want to use it. Truck looks clean though but goes without saying to check the frame.

 

Thanks for the responses. I can live without 4WD. I've never had a 4WD truck so it was sort of on my wishlist but it is not a dealbreaker.

 

If you don't know why post something like that?

 

Not a bad deal. Just remember value will drop at some point.

 

timing belt, timing chain
It was really the water pump I was thinking of, and if it’s a belt needs to be changed at that time

 

Update - he dropped the price down to $18K so I am going to go for it. Really started to get an itch for a 4Runner but I am finding those to be just as if not more expensive than Tacomas at the moment.

 

Not a bad price at all. Mine is 4WD and the only time I've used it here in KY is to get up my snow covered driveway. I'm glad I have it but don't use it nearly as much as I thought I would.

 

UPDATE

Truck went to Toyota for an inspection and came out pretty clean. Just minor things - idler pulleys, front brakes and rear diff fluid to be changed soon and it will need new tires in a year or less. Pulled the trigger at $18,000.

 

Looks clean. Suspension?

 

Just a leveling kit from the previous owner. Small spacer in front and block in the rear. I’ll change that up in time.

 

Just curious, what's wrong with your current one to warrant buying in this inflated pricing environment?

 

Looks great. If you don't need 4wd, I'm sure a block lift is sufficient. Drive and enjoy!

 

I sold it thanks to that same pricing environment that may have affected my most recent purchase. My previous was an '05 2WD Access Cab with over 120,000 miles. That would never sell for above $10K a few years ago. I sold it for $12K, paid off a student loan and then got back into a double cab.
