    what sort of maint. records are with the truck - with that mileage it could be due for belts, maybe a new clutch...

    and it looks like the front end is a little crooked (and missing the trim piece under the passenger side headlight) makes me think it may have been hit :notsure:

    Looks like back left tire is bald towards the insides. Might have been on the front and has an alignment issue.

    front end collision could mess with the alignment...and suspension and frame...depending on how severe the crash was.

    OP - if you get to see the truck in person take a really close look at the front end

    :eek: I would never sell my baby!

    When i started looking for a tacoma back in February, this truck was up for 8k. now its down pretty far.

    you could go in and figure out whats wrong specifically, offer them something low and prepare to do some repairs, but then have a perfectly running vehicle :D

    Very true haha . What do you think of your truck? I've heard that the "desirable" years are 01-04, which I like the grill and white spedo/ odo etc.
    But what are the real differences? I have found some killer deals on 1997-1999 Tacomas.

    Yes I do watch that show and yes I did haha. I like when they'll set there top dollar at say 1000 and the seller will try to squeeze and extra little bit out and the old man will drop to 950. Great strategy. :D

    Doesnt look as bad as it could for 190000 miles. The paint job is probably the worst think IMO
