2007 Tacoma, Advise on prioritizing fixes

Hello All, Im planning of buying a second gen taco today and wanted to get your input in the vehicle.

I will be looking for frame rust. If there are any comments on the vehicle or for things to look out for.

Thanks!



Toyota tacoma 4x4, 2007, original owner, truck has New rebuilt motor with under 2000 miles on it...truck has 240,000 miles. clean body and interior, runs great.power windows, sliding rear window, sport model.fully loaded, 4x4. 6 cyl.automatic.
title and paperwork in hand. clean title

 

12500 with 240k miles seems high.. subbed for better answers tho

 

even tho the engine is almost new the rest of the truck is not. dont forget that the tranny has 240k on it as well as everything else on the truck. i would throw it on the lift and check the front end for any play and check how bad the rust is. the truck looks completely stock which is good. lets just say everything looks good on it, i still wouldnt give him more than 9-10k

 

Took it to a mechanic and had found these issues.

Front/Rear brakes need replacement
Alignment- will do after putting new tires
Oil pan is leaking due to improper installation of gasket
Front Wheel bearings


If there are any write-ups for these issues, Please let me know!

 

dang

 

That's not all that bad. The bearings you can get from a member here on 2nd generation marketplace goes by NJ636. They come ready to bolt on. The front brakes are easy and the back uses drums. May checked the plugs also.

 

I would suggest you do the bearings and front breaks first as they are the ones that will cause the biggest issues first. After that get your alignment (no sense if the bearings have nor been done yet)

Than I'd do the oil pan gasket and rear brakes.

 

Wow that’s a great deal! Wish I could have gotten a deal like that when I bought mine.
