Friends looking at buying this tacoma any advice?

I wouldn't even consider that truck. The price is outrageous for the amount of miles and condition. I found my 02 DC 4x4 last summer with 48,000 miles on it listed for $15,500. I talked him down to $14,800 due to the body having a lot of scratches on it and needing a new tailgate.

Moral of the story is this: All these things are is a heap of sheet metal. There will always be another one available. And chances are it will be in much better condition than this one.

 

Hey guys read through all of your posts. I feel the same way and so does my buddy. Thanks for helping me talk him out of it. When I was shopping a year ago for my tacoma I encountered many similar things. Patience is definitely a virtue and sooner or later the perfect truck will pop-up. Thanks again!

 

4runner won't work needs a bed. He looked @ this one: http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/i...tosales&sort_type=make_modelDESC&cardist=7022

and is having it checked by a mechanic tomorrow.

 

That's what a bed should look like if it has been used a lot. Hell, mine would look the same of I hadn't rhino lined it when I got it. That one doesnt look like it has too many dents in the bed. Nothing a few hundred bucks for a spray on liner won't fix.

 

Oh for sure it seems a bit high. I paid 14.5 for mine with 48k miles on it last summer. And mine had some minor scratches and a dent in the tailgate. But it did come with two brand new sets of tires, a camper shell, and all sorts of recovery gear and miscellaneous goodies.

I'd be more concerned about the frame than the body IMO. 10.5 wouldn't be a bad starting offer though
