    Buying first truck, would like to get some advice from seasoned owners.
    On marketplace, a tow company is selling a taco that seems to be minorly crashed.
    2000 Tacoma, 4x4, 3.4 V6. On grapps, lifted, 260k miles. Dented on the right door a tiny bit, front bumper pretty messed up, which doesn't matter because I'm gonna do an aftermarket F and R bumper eventually. Dialed interior, and will definitely bring a mechanic friend to check the engine. It's had fluids (a few times), belt, and tires done since new. Cost is 4k.
    For this price, is it safe as long as it doesn't seem sketchy when I see it and meet them? Low price, high miles, and the dents contribute to the price for sure but want some other opinions. Thanks!

    I’d be most worried about the title, but you certainly could have issues down the road if it was repaired back to the state you see it in from a worse condition

    Frame integrity (rust+crash) would be my major concern.

    Correction- Not actually crashed. Dented front bumper is unrelated, hit side while parked but the dent there could be easily fixed. Not concerned with cosmetics
