SOLD: '01 Tacoma SR5 lifted

$10,000

2001 Toyota Tacoma SR5 XtraCab

3.4 v6 5VZ-FE
5-speed manual
4-wheel drive

205,118 miles


I purchased this truck a little over 2 years ago with the intentions of building my dream truck & keeping it forever. However, with the recent birth of my daughter it is no longer practical to keep the truck.

From 2001-2017 this truck lived in San Diego, CA & was dealer maintained, completely stock & garage kept by the original owner. The truck was never even rained on for it's first 15 years, much less exposed to inclement winter weather! I purchased the truck in Sept 2017 & had it shipped to North Carolina.

I have a clean Carfax report as well as a binder with pages containing all of the dealer maintenance performed from 2001-2017. I also have receipts for all upgrades & maintenance I have performed in the past 2 years. Truck runs like new & has zero leaks, only built up grease splatters at each joint from 5k mile routine greasings. Truck averages 15 mpg city & 20 mpg highway.

This is legitimately the cleanest truck you will ever find on the east coast! The undercarriage & frame are mint & in better shape than 2-3 year old trucks. The interior is absolutely mint. The paint looks great from a distance, however it's showing it's age up close. Normal scratches/dings & faded clear coat on the roof.


I performed all the following upgrades/maintenance in my garage within the last 6-12 months & have receipts (likely forgetting items)......

Damn! That is a beautiful truck. I’m extremely impressed with your level of attention paid to this machine. I absolutely love those bronze FN wheels too. This is a tremendous deal you are presenting. Glws!

 

that interior is uber clean

 

This is pretty damn close to the perfect build. Sucks that you have to sell it. GLWS!

 

$24,000 invested ... Im in same boat ... that’s how much money I got into it... I putted for sale $16,000 and all suckers thinks “ is too expensive “ .... oh well ... it has 84 or 86 K miles on it and I will keep it..... ( still paying loan for it ) .... my point is .... regardless of the money struggle... don’t give up your hard worked money... keep it... only you appreciate it and know it’s value. Congrats on the new family member ...

 

Where in NC are you located?

 

Jacksonville

 

@Gunrunner269, Dude Awesome Truck, and if at all possible, KEEP IT. You can give it to your Daughter as her first vehicle. Purchase a nice family sedan and be done with it.

 

Somebody is going to get one hell of a good deal.

 

Man this looks awesome. Don't sell it, I sold my access cab when my first was born, and I've regretted it ever since. I'm looking at getting another now the kids are big enough to sit in an access cab with just a small booster seat.

 

pm'ed you

 

i just might have you beat on that 'invested' amount

 

I didn't get anything..

 

OP, i was taking a closer look at your frame pics, it may not be as 'mint' as you think it is from personal discovery

 

Bump

 

Bump... New price... $10,900

 

Have you considered eBay? This might do quite well...



Even though I think you should keep it

 

Or the Bring-A-Trailer website.

 

That too ^. I was going to suggest BaT in addition to eBay. I just do not know of the stipulations (if any) for listing on that site. The last time I visited the site it seemed to be curating to high dollar, collector ready metal.

 

I just got it posted to the local Craigslist & Facebook ads. I've never really used eBay & I'm not sure anyone on bring a trailer would be interested. Most people seem more interested in the number on the odometer than the actual condition of the vehicle. It's ashame, because this truck is in amazing condition.
