Looking to Buy

Joined as this seems to be the most used Tacoma forum online. At this point I've spent days worth of hours lurking the site reading about this truck and its many different models. It's been helpful to me in my search for a 2009+ DCSB 4x4 6speed. I live in the nc mountains in an area that averages 80" of snow each winter and I've been thinking about a truck lately as my slummed out snowbucket subaru forester has kind of pissed me off this winter. Job change has me moving kegs around from time to time but also driving a good bit so this truck seemed like a good call. I've looked at 4 trucks in my area (or at least in a 3 hour radius of my area) and think I've found the right one.

Its a 2009 TRD Off Road White with 65k miles. It has service records for all dealership work up to the 60000mile service and has not had any other service other than routine oil changing. Just checked the Car Fax and everything came back clean, as did the test drive, frame rust inspection, checking for syncro/clutch/gearbox issues, and inspection of the rear leaf springs for excessive sag. Everything seemed right about this one except that it needs some new tires. Price seems pretty fair at 21k. Thoughts?

Posting here because the site asked me too, but also letting anyone know who cares enough to still be reading that I have a 30 day pass to Carfax to check out license plate #s (since apparently I only have 5 vin # lookups but unlimited plate lookups. this has changed, who knew) So if you need one or are selling your car and want to see how your report looks let me know I'd be happy to return something to this forum that has already been good to me.
