Could I get a second opinion on this truck for sale?

also has tow package

 

Looks great to me man. I own a 2013 access cab sport, magnetic gray, and it has 35K miles on it in like 1.5 years. It's stock and I'd ask damn near this much. It has quite a few mods already and is looking really nice. I love having the automatic now after trading in a 5 speed 4 banger access cab for my new truck. If you like manual, have at it, I'm sure it's way better than the 4 cylinder.

 

Looks good to me.

 

Well that looks like a sweet ride. A few reasons why I always shy away from used cars with low mileage, and others will put this post in the gutter for sure.

1) why is the owner selling it so soon?
2) Has in been in a wreck and fixed?
3) Does it have some vibration at certain speeds?
4) The list can go on.

These are the questions that I would ask myself. And then weight that against buying something new. I hate dealing with other peoples problems.

It's your hard earned money. Just think it through.

By the way, I like your user name, I also have a 98, and buying a new 2015, never a problem in 18 yrs. besides a new starter. Good luck.

 

thanks for the responses everyone. I definitely plan on test driving it thoroughly here in a couple days. Apparently the owner just wants to get into something cheaper, and it hasn't been in any accidents. It seemed like a fair price to me to find a 2 year old taco with less than 20K miles and all the upgrades. Its a little more than I originally intended on spending but I know I could get 20 years out of this truck.

 

Not sure what tacomas are going for at the top of the world, but for about 30k you can get a brand new one around here. That may not be the same for you great northerners though.

 

Paid 33 for mine brand new in2010

 

Just picked up my 2013 double cab off road 4x4 with 12500 miles for 27000

 

That's a pretty sweet deal. From what I can tell tacos are going to run 10-15% above lower 48 market value. Its a highly sought after truck up here and the supply is more limited. That goes for new rides as well, gotta cover their shipping costs
