Potential "new" Tacoma owner

Dang that is A LOT. I paid $12.5k for my 2013 in 2017 with 98k. I know the price of tacomas has gone up since the pandemic but damn.

 

Yeah, it's crazy. Though bluebook is about $2K less than he's asking.

 

I love the look of the regular cab. But even though l don't use the rear seat everyday. I'm glad that l have it when l do. Makes life so much easier for me.

Depends on what you want. Not just today, but down the road too.

 

I like the look of this older one. $18k for a 20 year old truck though...

Now that is exactly how a Toyota pickup should look.

 

That thing reeks of a shady used car lot trying to pull a fast one. There are no undercarriage photos, the spray-in bedliner is brand new as if it's hiding something, and the interior is way too thrashed for that odometer reading. Also, in photo 17 look at the surface rust on the air filter housing clamps. That's your first indication this truck's a rust bucket from the northeast. I clicked on the link to the free carfax report and it confirmed that this truck spent many years in the rust belt. $18K is at or approaching the Bring A Trailer price for a low mile collector quality southwestern truck with an immaculate underside.

 

Well, if you're looking for a new regular cab pickup you'll need to pay for it.

If that mileage is accurate, holy shit..deal

 

It's a nice one. Too bad I'm almost as far from there as it's possible to be within the continental US. Add a few $K for a shipping company...

 

Might be worth it TBH and trust me that thing in NE makes it all the more valuable. Could always use Uship or something..or fly here. Only an hour or 2 from my house.

 

Anyone know why he thinks 2004 is the most sought after year?

 

Not sure, last year of the 1st gen is all I can surmise

 

I do prefer that body style. I wonder about all the sitting it must have done. There's a sweet spot between getting over-used and under-used I think.

 

That's what I was thinking. Milage too low imo. Be worried about gaskets and seals.

 

Check out my build in my signature. I’m guessing youre a low maint guy and wear boots welcome aboard to the reg cab club. The 4 banger 4x4 was made from 95.5-2014, 1st gen ended 04 but really theyre all the same lik things here and there (benchseat, bucket, atrac, sunroof, cruise control) but really theyre all the same, no such thing as a trd reg cab. The manuals are more common, automatics are harder to find. 96 first year obd2, 97 first year to sc and 2000 last year manual hubs. They did make a reg cab v6 but only as manual from 95.5-97. Now this truck is the most capable all around offroader because of it wheelbase I have armor all around, onboard air and I added a rear air locker, hi roof topper with 31x10.5x15 km3’s. Its capable but any wind resistance or hills and you really need to work atleast for my setup, I have auto tranny, its easier to rock crawl. Im also gonna add the tube doors so its pretty cool and capable truck. Check the diff gears on the taco youre getting I have stock 4.10 gears which is perfect for me I’m not regeared. These trucks dont get great mpg for autos 16 consistently.

 

yeah that one looks nice, really depends on what you like me personally I wanted a white 97 cus of the locking hubs and the front face and the 1st gens were slightly smaller, ask if it has cruise control and atrac Thats what theyre going for cus really theyll never bring back the reg cab.

 

I wouldnt be worried about it, wouldnt surprise me if it was owned by an older gentlemen that just drove it to the supermarket and to church

 

Can't hurt to suss it out, could be a misprint in the miles such as 119K is actual. If so that's not bad anyway

 

Mine was 3 years old with 6600 when I got it. My mom drives under 5K a year only b/c she has to go to dialysis 3x a week

 

Just saw what looks like a real nice 2011 reg cab 4X4 W/ "MT" with 168K asking $11,999. on Craigslist Knoxville TN. Don't know where OP is located.
