    I currently have a 2015 TRDOR Prerunner, but been searching for a manual transmission 1st Gen since forever. I finally snagged 2002 4WD TRD Off Road with 116K miles. Single owner, and the truck has been in Texas it's whole life, so little to no frame rust. Paid $9,999 before tax and title.

    Got a couple scratches and some ciggy burns, but overall she looks pretty good. I'm stoked!

    I think you did well. I wouldn't be upset paying that price for a low-mileage 1st gen. We pay a premium out in my part of the country for trucks like that.

    Nice. That black Walmart body molding will come off with patience, a heat gun on low and mineral spirits to remove residual glue

    Nice! It's just like mine. Except it's spy vs. spy. I have a black one! Good score on price to. That's not a low price but it's not ridiculous either. Super clean engine bay is a win win. Previous owner obviously took good care of it.
