I crashed my Corolla on Saturday and the body shop is pretty sure it's totaled. Claim udjuster said i's be getting around $9k for it and I'm looking to get a Tacoma. What should I look at to make sure I get a good truck? I've seen Tacomas have a big problem with frame rust. What else should I be looking for as warning signs in an abused Tacoma? Any advice? Thanks in advance.
