New owner for a few months

I bought my 05 Taco back in March from a friend. paid $17k for it sitting @ 85k miles which was pretty good for my area. I felt I got a good deal for the truck i wanted. Its the double cab 4x4 with the long bed, tinted windows & window visors. Its in relatively good shape as far as the body goes. There are a couple of dings here and there but nothing I cant live with. The bed shows wear as it should- its a truck. Ive been averageing right at 19mpg which isnt too bad but im coming from a car that got 30mpg so its a little hard to swallow. It was well taken care of by the previous owner. I havent done any mods to it, the wife would kill me. Anyway, Im enjoying the heck out of it so far and this forum has been a great help!

 

Awesome price congrats on your truck..is somethng leaking under truck behind F R tire

 

85 k is just getting broken in on that truck. I would search some of the threads on here about changing rear end fluid, and spark plugs etc.

Good Deal on truck, good luck with it.

 

Congrats and welcome to TW!

 

looks like AC Condensation, thats where mine drips at least.

 

Its the A/C dripping-dont scare me like that ha ha..

 

I thought it was a pretty good deal given everything I was seeing that was the same model with more mileage was going fo $23k+ at dealerships. Like I said it has a few minor blemishes but they dont really bother me because then I dont have to worry about when that first scratch happens. The guy offered to sell it to me for 15k originally but I didnt have the funds at the time. A couple of days before I contacted him to see if it was still for sale, he had posted listings for it for 17k and had a dealership involved for an under-the-table cut of the profits. I bit and offered the 17k. Kind of dumb but I had wanted this particular truck for years.

 

Welcome from N.J

 

I bought my 07 last week from a guy in Winder. I think I'm going to really enjoy it. My brother is wanting me to come to Athens for the game this Sat night. Sounds like a good reason for a little seat time! Phil

 

Aloha and congrats!

 

It dont matter how they slice it, truck is still worth it. In the end you got a great truck for a price that fits your budget.

 

WELCOME !!!!!!!!!!!
