    Hi I’m planning on buying a 2007 2.7Li regular cab manual trans Tacoma, 4x4. 100,000 miles, no rust, they are asking 14,000. Everything has been left stock, no accidents, clean interior and engine bay, and one owner, buying private seller. Would you say this is a good deal? It still blows my mind that these things hold, their value like jeeps. Anyway, I wanted a little bit more insight on seeing if it’s a good idea, thanks. Also I’m still somewhat new to this woke forum, so please let me know if I’m in th wrong spot, thanks.

    Maybe repost in 2nd gen forum if you haven’t already.

    Here in the rust belt, you might pay more for one like that but needing frame rust repair.

    Vehicle prices differ depending where in the country you are. I get the impression it’s a pretty basic model. For that age truck with only 100000 miles it sounds like an ok price to me. It’s also good that it’s a one owner vehicle. With multiple owners you never know what all problems it’s had. Ask for maintenance/repair records. Do some research and see what similar Tacos are selling for in your area. Offer $12,000 and negotiate from there.
    Also what exactly do you mean by “this woke forum”?

    For me, the fact that it’s a single cab would be a deal-breaker. I’ve gotta have at least an ext cab.

    I think they’re maybe a couple grand too high, just my opinion.

    It’s really up to you.

    Seems like a okay deal to me in this market, but only if all the service records are there. Would agree with above posters that you probably have some negotiation room, but that could depend on what part of the country you're in.
