Going to buy a truck today

Well after many months of reading threw here and other things online im going in a few hours to looks at a couple trucks and wanted your guys input on the two trucks, as far as price goes and anything else you think I should know or look at. I think both trucks are about 1500 to 2000 over priced so will see what the dealership is willing to do. im leaning towards the white one cause I think I want a long bed but im going to test drive both. and see how the trd offroad sport compares to the trd offroad

they're going to drive almost identically, unless there's a mechanical issue somewhere... good luck

 

I love thier ad write-ups.....


"As a matter of fact; Jack has a little bad streak. And speaking of streaks; looks like he just left a couple more leaving the last stoplight."

Both nice trucks, you won't be disappointed.

 

On the second truck, the price on the windshield is $22,988 vs the intreenet price of $23,841. Ask them for the windshield price! Lol

Good luck.

 

For hauling, that extra ft makes a huge difference for me. If you are going to off road, go with the off road with the rear locker. The Sport is better looking with the colormatched scheme and will ride better on road due to differences in the softer suspension coils/shocks. I guess it wouldn't matter much if you are going to upgrade/replace those parts anyways like most of us do. Both are great trucks, just choose what suit your needs. I wouldn't consider the Offroad one due to mileage. (90K miles too high for asking price), although both are overpriced.

 

The grey shortbed looks lifted to me. Not much but enough to be noticed.

Take a look for mods if they are done correctly or spacer lift.

 

I would consider this one from a TW member in the classifieds section, much better deal:



2010 Tacoma 4x4 Sport MGM DCSB 75k in Florida
Truck is for sale but will not be available for pickup until after Tuesday 1/21/2014. I have to go pick up a boat in South Carolina on Monday the 20th.

Only reason I'm selling is to get something cheaper because I really don't drive much due to a company vehicle.

Details:
- 2010 Tacoma Sport 4x4 Double Cab Short Bed, 74K miles, Automatic, runs absolutely perfect. Averages 17 MPG.
- Exterior is in great condition, couple of scratches here and there but nothing out of the ordinary. Truck has never been offroad.
- Interior is in great condition, no tares, rips or stains in the carpet anywhere. Typical use for almost 4 year old truck.
- Bilstein 5100's all the way around, Toytec AAL in the rear, 5k miles on components, rides wonderfully.
- 285/70/17 BF Goodrich All terrains, 7k miles on stock sport wheels.
- Alpine MP3 Pandora Bluetooth USB CD Player, Polk Component speakers up front sound excellent.
- 2 month old factory roof rack.
- All scheduled maintenance performed at all appropriate times.

This truck is very nice and I have babied it. Really hate to sell but I need something cheaper.

$24,500 OBO, Title in hand, Located in Panama City Florida.

PM me here or text if interested. 7o654o5o58.

These are currently the only pics that I have of it. Will take better ones when I get a chance. The tool box is not included in the sale.

 

The grey one looks like it may have a cheap lift on it. Can't really tell though. The Toyota dealers around my town love to put cheap spacer lifts on and then charge you $3,000 more! The white one looks better to me and has a little less mileage. But if you plan to off-road and change out suspension, wheels, tires, etc, get the grey one....IF they come down on price. Like previously stated, the windshield sticker is different than the price in the ad.

 

Thanks guys for the input so far. Hey whatapunk I'm in California. So that truck is way to far. I did see the sticker on the window on the grey truck. And I'll look and see if it's lifted anything else guys

 

I do not plan to mod the trucks suspension

 

I'd prob. go with the white one then. Just my opinion.

 

If I can get the price where I want it maybe 23k. Out the door price then yeah

 

Good luck. Either truck would be nice. Welcome to TW

 

20000 cash out the door for the MGM .. It's got a small lift and coming up on 100k...
If the dealer says no, start walking towards the door and see if they meet you half way around 21k

 

Thank you for the input I really don't want something that somebody has lifted do ill have to crawl under there and see what has been done in the one pic it looks like you can still see the yellow bilstein shock in the back

 

I'd go with the white. Can't wait to see what you decide

 

I'd go with the white due to mileage and probably a better ride. The MGM lift probably done by the PO before trade in. More than likely ran larger tire setup and possibly even offroaded. That may explain the missing front/back mudflaps. OP, check undercarriage thoroughly or even post pics of of the front/rear springs here and we can tell you what type of lift it has.

 

Great thanks guys were headed down in a few

 

white. grey ones been lifted.

 

Well just got back and I did not buy either one the sales man I had talked to that seemed like a good guy called into cause of family emergency. So they brought out there ace in the hole missing teeth very over weight sloppy clothing and smelled of cigarette smoke and cheap cologne. He knew nothing about nothing he did not talk and never asked me anything about what I thought of the truck. They grey truck was lifted and pretty trashed never a good sign when they threw away the floor mats. The white one was nice it needed tires and front end alignment and a wether strip peace on top of the cab was missing but over all pretty clean. When we got back I said to the salesman your asking a top dollar for a truck that needs things fix he said ok. I told him my offer was to low and he did not want to hear it again he said ok I was so tired of this dumb ass by then that me and my wife just walked
