Need help buying Tacoma

Hey Guys,

Im in Denver and ive been looking for a manual 1st gen Tacoma preferably with the TRD off road package. Less than 150k miles. I seem to not be having any luck. Can one of you guys help point me in the right direction? I dont mind driving a long distance to pick up the truck. Also, can one of you guys recommend a good place on the front range for me to get a lift once i buy the truck.

thanks,
Z

 

I was in a similar boat a few months ago (1st gen, manual, TRD, under 150k). Cars and trucks always go up for sale come spring, so being summer you're a bit past that 8 ball.

As far as places to look, I've looked at far as Vegas and Nevada. There were good options in March. Hard to say now in June. Craigslist is a good spot for going direct to an owner, though at this point, you may need to dig in to 2nd hand lots. I know there is a search tool you could use to search all of craigslist across different areas, here is a link: https://www.searchtempest.com/

Good luck - it may be a tough find and if you play the patience game you may be in luck.

 

Welcome to TW. Good luck with your search!

It will take patience to find one under 150K miles. Opening the mileage constraint to 175K miles yields the results in the link.
Took me about 6 months to find mine. Adjust the filters to your liking.
I took mine to Slee in Golden and am very happy with the setup. $$$$.

 

Hey thanks guys! yeah I don't mind waiting out for the right truck. I just need to know where to begin. so thanks a lot.
