Newbie looking for advice

Hey all! New memeber and looking at tacomas w 4x4 for my bro as his is moving to utah. Ive been looking in colorado as i live here but we found one were he lives in Wisco.

Wondering if this tacoma we found is a good value. Seems a little overpriced but im not the expert hah.

Anythings i should look out for?

Thanks!

Welcome to TW! Check the frame.

 

Thanks! Frame is new.
Any major maintenance i should look out for?
I have a 2005 tundra and i know timing belt and lbj’s are major.

 

Welcome to TW
Any service records available ? drain and fill transmission. Dif fluid changes ,transfer case fluid change . Brake fluid flush ,change the radiator fluid .All the basics . Price seems a little high but not awful . Your call ,good luck .

 

Thanks for the input! I will see if i can get that info. For looking pretty basic it seemed high to me too

 

Look underneath it. It can look good on the face but be a rust bucket underneath. Also be wary of "undercoat" slapped on by the dealer. It could be a black coating hiding a bunch of rust.

 

Thanks Rob! Good advice il look for that

 

Strange I didnt see anything in the ad about the frame replacement....and that's a HUGE selling point. Did I just miss seeing it?

 

Good call out. The ad was on fb which lists the frame replacement. Car was originally from canada from the car fax. Dont see any maintenance on the carfax beyond oil change.

Do these need timing belts and such like the toyota v8’s?

 

Welcome!
