    I'm not sure how this happens. I barley drive my 2002 Tacoma and it has 131K miles but this is like the second Tacoma Ive seen for sale under 50K miles. They are asking quite a bit for it but would be sweet to have. Not sure how long this one will last. It is Colorado. Mine runs and drives so well sometimes I wish I had 2 of them.

    My 03 DC 4x4 had 40k miles, salvage title. Sold for $15.5k in a bidding war.

    I bought it from an auction reseller, so they couldn't say. Per Toyota inspection, driver side front corner panel was not original, and A-arm had been replaced but frame appeared untouched.

    I think the price is fair considering.

    The sad part is someone will buy it and bolt ugly light bars and moto metal wheels. It will also get slathered in Plasti dip so it looks like one that cost $4500

    Eek.

    I'm sure it will be worth it to someone - I'd look for a private sale with reasonably low miles and save $7k.

    If you're looking for a low mileage 1st gen then I don't think it gets much better than that. Although they don't show any pics of the frame.

    That seems overpriced to me. The loan details have since dropped off my credit report but I paid around 24.5K for a brand new 2004 Access Cab SR5, TRD OR 4x4 back in 2004. You can get a lot more truck for 17K that has actual access to the back. While I loved that truck, I couldn't stand the completly useless "Access" portion of the cab.

    They probably gave to old man that traded it in $6K

    I don't think Toyota ever called it an access cab until the second gen.

    Yeah I believe it's an extra cab - extra space behind the seats. For people :notsure: Grew up riding around in the back of one of those for a while whenever we needed to squeeze everyone in dad's truck. Teenager sized me was lithe enough to fit in back, but my knees hovered pretty close to my chest lol.

    If the frame is in excellent condition, I say it's worth the price.

    I honestly don't think I've ever used the back of mine since buying it nearly two years ago. I could have bought a regular cab and been just fine except that whole two year V6 production in that configuration = hard to find

    If frame is good, priceless, you can't get anything like that for less anywhere now. It's not overprice because is rare to find that configuration with low miles. I did and took me awhile.... this will be gone like today... worth every dime

    I bought my 2001 almost two years ago with 44K miles. The first owner was a sailor who drove it to port twice a year. It had 23K on it in 2013 when my friend bought it and then I bought it two years later at 44K.

    Such low mileage is cool. Almost too low, but still cool. I would have been awesome in 4 door.
