Is this truck worth it? (Possible purchase)

Hey y’all I’m looking to buying this 2015 Tacoma sport 4x4 one owner SoCal truck all maintenance done at the stealership no accidents (one ding in the rear bumper) they’re asking $28k has icon uca and ko2s and some kinda lift (haven’t had chance to look at it in person) 83k miles

what do you guys think? I know I can get cheaper third gens but I really want the 1gr

 

It sounds on par with the current asking prices.
But you never know until you go look.

 

its close, yes a 2nd gen is worth purchasing, low miles really, 28k is a tad high, offer them 25k.

 

I'd say it's a little on the high side, but if it's at a dealership, which it looks like it is, then that's about what I'd expect. That truck is just about the highest demand configuration you can get in this area. Only thing that'd make it more valuable would be Off-Road or Pro package or a better color.

 

As a general rule, I don't recommend buying anything that's modded. Sure, maybe you're a responsible driver off road, but most aren't.

 

Unfortunately with used cars we sometimes don’t have an option, suspension mods are no biggie to me as I can always replace it, cutting and welding is often a no no for me

plus “low” miles one owner with all the records does have me intrigued

 

Looks nice. With the suspension work, perhaps it had different wheels and tires, sold separately, stock wheels and tires to sell. The shell is worth at least a grand or two.

 

An owner with good maintenance records is an owner who took care of the vehicle.

Edit: after viewing pic below……………socal trucks excluded.

 

I have no idea what you mean....


I have all my maintenance records too...I take very good care mechanically of my taco.

 

Just because it's lifted doesn't mean he went offroad

 

At 28k you are getting close to the price of a new Tacoma? Might not be a 4WD but it would be new...compare TMC at 4.99% payments with used car loan rates and limited duration of the loan?

 

True but I’m only interested in 4wd (I go to places where’s it’s required) and the 4.0 is what I want, I can find 3rd gen Tacoma 4x4 for cheaper and nothing wrong with them (I owned before) just specifically want a second gen, gonna check out tmrw knowing my luck it will probably have a rusted frame since the carfax said it lived near the beach

 

The 4.0 has been good to me in my 06 Tacoma. I believe in the V6 so much that I am about to pull the pin and purchase a 2024 4Runner with the 4.0 V6. Last production year with that power plant.

 

You should do it! I love my 4Runner no regrats!

 

That's why it's only a general rule, and not a hard one.

 

Nice! I've been wanting a 4Runner for many many years. Got an out the door quote from a local dealership, just texted them to sweeten the deal by $800.

 

Use the Costco auto program you might be able to get it even lower

 

Nice truck,if itlooks good in person,offer 26k and go from there.

 

Ok update I went to check it out it’s pretty clean, 33s bilstein 5100s with a spacer lift and icon uca was able to talk them down to 27k and they actually gave me almost private party for my trade in, the only down side is there is some dings on the roof my pdr guy said he would have to see it in person another pdr guy said they might be too deep

 

Not even one letter??.....
