good buy?

http://www.lostpinestoyota.com/used...strop-tx-a1ca532d0a0a00654a066b24621e00f4.htm I was looking at buying this but three things come to mind that I need opinions on. Is the 125K miles on this truck setting me up for costly maintenance? Is this a good deal? Is there enough room in the back to carry four people around occasionally for short trips?

 

I have an 06 I bought new and I'm at 112K miles with no issues up to this point. Ive been really good with maintenance and all around up keep. Parts to wear down of course so to answer your first question I think it depends on how the owner took care of it. Things I'm preparing to replace are the front wheel bearings, starter and alternator. I havent had issues yet but I'll have those parts on hand ready to replace.
Is it a deal? That's hard for me to answer because some will say you can do better. I think if you like it then try to haggle the price to what you want to pay for it and if it doesn't work out then walk away.
For four adults it would be a tight squeeze back there.
Good luck and I hope it works out for you.

 

Pretty tight for adults. I had a dakota with the the extra bench and my kids complained every minutes they were back there. Two teenage boys. Mine did not however have the half doors like on the access cab. You had to squeeze between the door frame and the front seat back. One of my kids buddies got stuck everytime so we never let him sit up front. It was too funny watching him struggle to get in and out.

Buying anything you need to be able to walk away if you have doubt.

Good luck.

 

Op your not going to fit much of anything in the back. Good for storage, that's about it. Seems to be a lot of money for a prerunner with that kind of mileage. Tech section says rear wheel drive not 4 wheel drive.

 

I bought a 2007 DCSB with 48K for $16991 in Arlington back in January. I would be very concerned about maintenance history on a vehicle with 125k.

 

If you want it offer $12,000

If no bite walk away (if they let you)
