2008 4x4 Taco 4cyl, 5Spd.

2008 Access Cab, 4 cyl 5 speed, 4x4, 123000 kilometers or 76,875 American miles, $17,750.00 Canadian
Looks in real good shape. I'd post pics but can't upload from my cell for some stupid reason, not enough memory or some crap. The ad said it was a rare combo.

Is this a rare combo and a good buy?

Thanks for any replies.

 

Not particularly rare around here, IMO. Don't know about prices in that part of the world, but I bought my '09 base model access cab, 4x4, 5 speed, with approx 28k miles, about 3 years ago for about that price in US dollars. Does the Kelley Blue Book cover your area?

 

That's a good price but keep in mind say 3k for maintenance stuff (to cover your ass) If you could get it for 15k would be better for you, imo. Offer them 13k or you're gonna walk. Play the game.

 

That's about the same miles as mine. See if there are any maintenance records - did they ever change the oil ? Check the frame - very important - they are rusting out like crazy in the salt belt.

 

Thanks everyone for the replys. I might be going to see this today, its outside the city about 15 mins in a small town car lot. 13,500 is what I was thinking of offering. Seems up here everyone wants the V6 DCSB.

 

I paid 16,000.00 for a 2009 Acces Cab TRD Off-Road V6 4x4 with 130000 km back in april 2014 but I don't know what is the cost of life in Manitoba (I live in QC). The truck is top shape (frame included).

17,750 seems a bit high for a 2008 4 cyl 4x4. They are not that hard to find in my area.

 

I just picked up a 2008 SR5 4x4 4cyl 5spd Access Cab with a canopy, tow hitch, all electrical.. 114,000 miles, already had its 100k maintenance great shape through and through.. I payed 14,000 U.S in Oregon...

 

That 2008 4x4 4 cyl 5 spd Access Cab Taco is still for sale, thats been a while now. Never did go see it but I still see it for sale on line. However there is a white 2009 Access Cab 4 cyl manual, 4x2 with traction control that caught my eye. Anyone have experience with these in the snow? I only have three payments left on an 06 Saturn Vue so might wind up pulling the trigger on this if its any good in snow. Then again I'm gonna know soon as the snow is going to be here before long in Canada lol.
Thanks for reading

 

Living where you do -Manitoba, Canada - I wouldn't consider anything but 4X4. We don't get as much snow in NJ as you do but I go to work B 4 they plow since I'm the guy that cleans up the parking lots and sidewalks at work - I've never had a problem with my 2.7 4X4. Check the frame B 4 U buy. Mine is in good shape because I take care of it but it the guy selling it didn't it might be a rust bucket. Hope that helps you decision.

 

You're probably right George i just keep thinking n hoping that a 2009 4x2 5 lug with traction control would be just as good as a 2008 5 lug 4x4 without the Trac. Would anyone know which would be better to tow a small pop up camper?

 

Maybe some one with traction control will respond - in the mean time you could read some of these topics.
