Regular Cab Dilemma

After digging thru this forum for a couple of weeks I am hoping to seek the advice of others to resolve my dilemma. I am looking to buy a regular cab tacoma to use while we remodel our home and for future projects. I live in Los Angeles and my driveway is very short and narrow and street parking is always a challenge everywhere. I am trying to find a used 2nd generation but the prices are all high along with the mileage (120,000 average) and I am also worried about non-visible wear and tear. Having already found a used one that the car-fax mileage was 70,000 different than the odometer I am even more leery of used. I am also aware that Toyota stopped making regular cabs for 2015. So, my dilemma is should I just bite the bullet and buy a new one? Or, if I can get a reasonable price on a used one will the savings offset anything I would have to repair down the road?

 

How would you rate the stock suspension?

 

Go used. As long as it wasn't owned by an idiot, it should be fine. Plus, you save a lot of money getting a used one
