Such a low price what’s the catch??

 

it could only be one man...




dude in comments said he got his '04 71k mi for $35k...

 

Just means he has the means .....to replace that $1000 electronic carb when it goes out at 150K....

all because of a $10 pedal sensor.......that you cant buy separate...

 

It was eligible for the frame but was never evaluated. Expired.



At least they did the LBJs under the recall campaign.

 

Minor paint damage and dents in the cab from the bed hitting it from jumping a solid 3 feet in the air. On original shocks and leafs.

 

I had a similar truck on my local Craigslist with 170K for twelve grand. No rust Sarasota Fl. Mine has no rust and I could easily get 6k with 278K

 

Wow, people really are stupid!

 

Ugh, posts like this make me mad, confused, everything... 19 year old truck that isn't a classic cost more than my new truck. It's been in a crash. By my math, my '23 is worth $100k. Take it or leave it. I know what I got. ugh

 

This is preposterous! Low miles just means it’s been sitting for years on end; for all we know it could be about ready to throw a rod.

Besides, even if I was a billionaire, I wouldn’t spend 45 grand on an old Toyota truck.

 

I regret selling my mint 99 short bed single cab 2wd, had 60k miles and was like new
Sold it in 2016 for $5000 when I upgraded to other trucks

smh

 

I regret selling my '00 SR5 extra cab 4x4 for $12k in '07. But I beat that thing down. I made 10k mile oil change intervals a thing before it was a thing. I miss the truck, not the way I treated it. But it never let me down.

 

Like it or not, good condition 1st gens will always be the most valuable of all current Tacomas after appropriate depreciation

 

Twenty sometning years and a trans rebuild three fuel pumps. 285K miles. I have driven this truck every day without trouble forever

 

Wow, is all I can say. I felt kinda guilty paying 15k for my 03 DC Limited Edition with 80k miles back in 2010.

 

Wow who’s buying these things.

I look at BAT every week and it’s amazing what these older Toyotas are going for.

 

This is why we are screwed if out Toyota gets hit or wrecked. No way would I want to take out a loan for 23k for a used Tacoma. Im spoiled with no payments for twenty years

 

And this is my biggest concern. some stupid idiot playing with their phone, stuffing their mouth with food, running stop signs, and just not paying attention to the task at hand, "Driving".

 

Yeh....You would have to come up with six or seven grand to buy your truck if its clean. Being disabled I assume your not that rich unless you got a lawsuit
