$23k for rusty 2010?

I am looking to buy a used TRD Tacoma 2010 4 door. The interior looks good, however the underside of the truck looks to be neglected. The seller claims the truck was parked for the winter and occasionally moved. I'm in Ontario Canada and the truck is listed for $23000 so its a lot of money to blow on a rusty truck. Am I being paranoid?
The seller agrees to sell for 22000 CAD (16880 USD) certified

 

yeah i wouldnt touch that with a ten foot pole. not if you plan on keeping it at least.

 

Looks like surface rust

 

Looks pretty rusty to me, 23k is alot of money. Another 10k, brand new.

 

Well not here at least. I'm looking at 45-50k for a new TRD

 

Are you saying its not that bad? I know surface rust can be cleaned up. I doubt this truck has ever been oil sprayed

 

Yes your right ,a new TRD inCanada is alot more, my bad. You could clean up the surface rust and get it rustproofed. How many miles on it?

 

Its got just under 100,000 km on it

 

Interior is basically mint

 

Not to bad, I had an 02 TRD,5spd,acc. loved it. I will say that it had a stiff susp., and very rarely used the locker. That being said how clean is the inside, and body.

 

Super clean thats why I'm boggle at the condition of the frame.

 

I see you said inside is mint, thats a good sign.

 

Looks real nice, auto, 4 door, man if you like it go for it. Sorry man forgot to welcome you to TW.

 

Long bed ,sweeeeett.

 

Give that rig some tlc, it will last a long time.

 

Lol thanks for the welcome. This truck has always been on my list of vehicles to own. My brother has one and I envy him every time I see it.
Can the rust just be sprayed over or does it have to be removed first? I'm wondering what it would cost to get it professionally done.

 

Man this is something I really needed to hear. I got them down to 22 grand. I just know these truck has frame issues in 2005 I think so i was worried.

 

If you really want the truck, I say take a closer look at that frame and cross member especially where the welds are I'd take a hammer and start tapping. Also a screw driver and start poking the rust just to see if it's solid.

 

I live in Michigan, I always get my trucks rustproofed, about $500. US. I bet they could steam pressure wash it then rustproof. If you keep after it you should be fine.
