First Tacoma: Did I pay fair price for my '03 Tacoma $11,900?

New member here. Last week I bought my first Tacoma at a Toyota dealership and left wondering if I paid too much for my ten year old truck. The catch is the Carfax had an "Accident Reported" but no structural damage or airbag deployed. According to the salesman it was just a "fender bender" back in '08 and the "front bumper and grille was just replaced". By my research and inspection there appeared to be no indication of a crash and the truck is clean. Just wanted some other opinions. Here are the stats:

2003 Tacoma Xtracab TRD Limited 3.4L V6, 4WD, 5-speed, 5VZ-FE
96,700 miles
push button 4WD
power windows, mirrors
cruise control
SNUGTop cap, liner, interior light
new brake pads and resurfaced rotors
stock Bilsteins front and rear
new Yokohama Highlander H/T-S tires
Timing belt and water pump changed at 67,800 miles
little to no rust
$11,900

Other than the fact it's not black it's my dream truck. Left the dealership wondering if I paid fair market value or it was an impulse buy, and am looking for some other opinions. Drives like new compared to my old '01 Ford Ranger XLT. Thanks in advance.

 

Very good price! I paid $12,100 for mine with 118,000 miles.

 

sounds about right. Paid 10K even for mine in 2009 with 110k miles. Traded 1998 Tacoma for it for 6K and wrote a check for the rest.

 

It sounds fair to me considering I saw one on craigslist for 20k

 

$12k for a truck that'll be around in 20 years. Hell yeah it's a good deal.

 

IRA of danvers? And hell yeah thats an awesome deal!!! And awesome find.

 

Sounds good to me. I paid $11K for mine with 130K miles on it in CA. And I needed to replace the shocks. I'm pretty sure I paid too much for mine....impulse buy.

 

I think the 4wheel drive is that shifter next to the other shifter, the push button on the dash is the rear diff locker and it only works in 4 low.

 

He's referring to the button on the shifter. Some of us have it, some don't.

Btw, OP, great deal! Mine was 14k (after fees) with 120k on it last year.

 

if it makes you smile, can you put a price on it?

nice looking truck

 

Solid deal, have no regrets.

 

I think you got a great deal! Tacomas around my area selling for about the same with way more miles than yours. I would have defiantly picked that up if it was in my area. Now its time to start modding!

 

Very fair purchase price.... kinda surprised on the water pump/timing belt were changed out at the near 70K range.... that is not normal.
Other than that, looks like a great truck to start modifying.

 

Local Toyota dealership has been asking me to do the water pump/timing belt on my truck for 2 years. They claim it's oozing and needs to be done. I've got under 50k on my 2004. I suspect, because of the age, I'll get around to doing it soon.

 

Nice truck...I've always liked the limited add ons. How's the frame? Hopefully it's already been inspected and/or replaced.
