Found a clean 1st Gen-What do I do??

You'd sell your first gen to LEASE a second gen? :O say it isn't so!


OP, I think that's a bit pricey. What are you looking to do with the truck? I bought my '95.5 cause I KNEW I wanted to beat the crap out of it. Some guys can beat the crap out of their pristine trucks. Personally, I couldn't bring myself to do it. On the other hand, if you're looking for a reliable daily driver to last 10 years, then that price becomes more reasonable.

 

I agree! I don't care for the newer style, they look to boxy and big. 1st gens look aerodynamic.

At a motorcycle show a few yrs ago they had all the Toyota trucks there and one hot babe asked my friend what he thought and he told her. I bet she never wished she asked. He wanted the old small ones with great gas mileage instead of these large, lousy mileage rigs, practical reliable trucks is what he's after.

 

The gas mileage aint that great

 

quality is lowered to

 

Even if they did, doesn't mean anyone would listen.

 

smart man haha

 

x2. 14k-15k is a more realistic price.

The price seems high. I bought my 06 Access Cab 4x4 TRD in December of 2010. Truck was four years old almost to the day with 41K on it. I paid 17,500 for it. I know double cabs are more $ and some folks prefer the first gens, but I find it hard to believe there will be a line of buyers for that truck at that price.

I know they are great trucks, but I wouldn't pay a premium for one over a newer rig.

 

I'm 20, so I feel ya bud. Sometimes ya gotta do things solely because you're young. Like me, buying my truck only as an offroad toy.

 

Do it! These 1st gen tacoma are hard to come by.. I paid about 17,000 for my 04 tacoma..

 

Damn. I paid 13,560 for my extracab with 88k on it.

 

Well, your taco is probably rusty as sh(*.. My truck has no rust at all!

 

ummm definitely a false statement. just because you paid more doesnt make your truck any better. i paid 7,500 with 60,000 and mines perfect.

 

you overpaid... sorry

nah it has one of the brand new frames and there are some pretty rusty spots being that I'm in New England, but the only major problems are I just snapped an axle shaft, don't know if it was my fault entirely or not, and the rubber transmission lines are cracked at the end. Other than that, friggen sweet truck.

 

shittttt im dumb!!!! i meant to say FINANCE not LEASE!! i feel stupid

 

^^^ This is why everyone criticized you. Leasing = terrible (renting a vehicle). Financing = what most people have to do anyway....
