    Quick Links: OBD2 problem I have no idea if this is OEM or if I’m using the term right Air bag light on, Keyless entry not working, and click noise when starting.. Can trapped air bubbles after a coolant flush, cause loss of power? [Solved but Unrelated] Bad A/C Clutch, fix options? 2002 Toyota Tacoma 2wd Manual Transmission 2.4L

does this seem like a scam??

    I did. It was a fantastic ordeal. That is all over now though. Got my money back via paypal and I try not to think about it. Shit deal was that my paypal was tied to my parents cc when I was at that age. I had the money, but they got more of the shit end of the deal than I did.

    You want some factual information on how I KNOW this is a scam???? When I was looking at buying a Tacoma this last spring... I found this EXACT same post from the EXACT same guy. I emailed the guy back and forth about 6 times on it. I even had an appointment set up to go see it in Denver, CO. Don't know where you are, but I'm telling you right now it's bullshit. I guarantee. Exact same truck and EXACT same description I read in March. I know it. 100% scam.
