    Hi there guys, I am looking to buy a used 1st gen Tacoma and notice this one. Would any of you be so kind as to check it out for me? I live in Saint Louis, so it'd be great if I could get someone to see if it's a total piece of crap before driving up to purchase. Please let me know. Link below:

    Here's a link to the Carfax:

    It seems good for the most part. The only things that bother me are the failed safety and emissions inspections. Also the "suspension service" on 10/23/2009.

    I've got a sick 2 year old and a 35 week pregnant wife, or I would go check it out for you but that truck looks really clean, about as good as you could ask for, for a 1st gen. As long as the frame looks as good as the rest of the truck, and it runs decent. I don't think you could go wrong.

    Yeah, everything looks good but I'm kind of worried about the frame. I looked up the VIN on Toyota's site and there is no mention of the previous owner getting it checked for rust or getting the undercoat.

    NC was great, just a ton of driving, my brother is stationed at Fort Bragg, so we scooped him up and went to Myrtle Beach for a couple of days. I have a bachelor party this Saturday, but I don't think I have anything going on next weekend as of now if you get everything.
