Need an opinion or 2.

Front end damage reported on Carfax might be part of it maybe?

 

I asked and they said no frame damage and it's been fixed. Waiting on undercarriage photos

 

Sounds good.

 

It was also registered as a commercial vehicle...... hmmmmm

 

30% more miles IS a significant difference.

 

Some lame states make owners register their pickups as commercial. I know PA is like that.

 

That sounds like some taxing bs lol

 

5 yrs. newer with, I think, (20% not 30%) more mi. Surely nobody would take an "07" w/ 135K over a 2012 w/170K, well, I guess maybe some would give up 5 yrs. for 35K.

 

The 2012 only has 140k on it. I've been thinking about it more and more. It does look better in the rust category.

 

Yea passed on that 07.... SUPER Sleezy tactics. They busted and pained all the corrosion on the frame in the wheel wells only. It was way worse than advertised. Also I'm super upset about the manuals performance. I dont like the sluggishness of it..... also the throwout bearing was done for and a few other things needed to be done like rotors carrier bearing and probably wheel bearings. Told him to fix it all before I paid that price. Toyota ended the frame recall for it in July. He said it's well worth 16 and I told him it's not even worth 2k because for the 14k $ frame job it needs. O well.

Thanks for everyone's input though. I'm most likely going to go with an automatic.
