    Hey guys,
    I'm looking at a manual 2007 SR5 4WD Double cab Tacoma and thought I'd ask your opinions.
    It has 155,000 miles and from the pictures I've seen is in pretty good shape, at least cosmetically. I'm looking at it tomorrow afternoon so I'll be able to post more pictures then but just wanted to see what I should be looking for? I know rust on the frame is a big one for older tacoma's but other than that I'm not sure.

    And its listed at $11,000 which seems like a good deal from my research but would be nice to hear a second opinion on that as well.

    Thanks!

    Are you familiar with the frame rust issues and have you familiarized yourself with that?

    1) DO NOT buy any tacoma without asking a dealership of the frame history. A Toyota dealer is the only person who will have the exact answer to these questions:
    a) Has the frame ever been inspected?
    b) Has the frame been replaced recently?
    c) Has the frame been undercoated?

    Depending on the answers to those questions - will depend on how you move forward.
    If the truck has never been inspected - DO NOT buy it unless its inspected first by toyota.
    Pending the results, you can decide if its worth the purchase and/or bargain for a better price.

    Good Luck!
