Thinking about buying a 05 Tacoma double cab TRD off road

Thats a tough call. I guess it would depend on how bad the smell really is. I smoke in my truck but everyone that get in thinks otherwise. Then again I have been in cars that people smoke in and I doubt you could ever get the smell out regardless or replacing the carpet/seat fabric.

Are you comfortable with paying 19k for the truck? 19k sounds like a decent deal, not the greatest but not bad.

 

I'm really comfortable paying that much, especially if they do all that stuff and the smell is gone. LOL.

 

Smoke gets in the headliner too...

Got a few days off? Why don't you take a little trip?

I want automatic.

Yeah, they are going to do some ozone treatment to the headliner supposedly.

 

I would do that one if the headliner was replaced too. it's going to be holding the most smoke.

 

well, passing on this one too. Price is too much out of my budget after everything is said and done.

Still looking at the first one in my thread, the AC compressor was bad, so he is having that fixed. It's a nice truck, and I think the mileage is pretty low for an 05. I'm gonna keep looking though.

 

Not sure how much experience you have with dealers but just in case nobody ever told you.

Never discuss payments with a dealer. Talk bottom line price. The Nissan dealer wanted to do that with my wife's car, turns out the price was more than sticker.

 

Im paying cash, so bottom line price is all I am concerned about. Just paid my wrx off and have it sold. Screw having another car payment.

 

Best of luck on the truck search! I just did the same and finally purchased an 07 Double Cab Prerunner 2wd. It has 90k miles on it, but the available car fax reports confirmed that it had been maintained regularly by the dealer. I'm with you on the 4wd part...if not necessary, it'll save you a few thousand dollars in most cases.

Just make sure you read those car fax reports and like our friend above said, never talk monthly payments OR useless warranties with the finance guy!

 

well, decided that I am going to go with this one afterall.

Can't seem to find a trd sport SR5 DCSB anywhere near me that doesn't have a ton of miles, or isn't out of my price range.

 

GL, gets some pics on here when you get it!

 

Fo Sho! Already have tonneau cover, predator step bars, window vent visors, weathertech digital floorliners and radio picked out.

 

haha.... that is just the start. I didn't have anything on my truck when I first found this site. The MOD bug bites and doesn't let go

 

Oh, I'm used to the mod bug. This is what I just sold to buy the tacoma.

 

^ Very nice. I've always wanted to drive one of those but never have had the opportunity.

 

That's the original one you fell in love with! Can't wait to see YOUR pics of it!!

 

im amazed how many taco owners(or soon to be) had subarus before tacos.id love a subaru as a toy

 

x2. there is even a thread.

i remember that thread.

 

Trust me, If I could keep it as my weekend warrior/auto x toy, I would. But it's paid off and needed the money to buy the tacoma.
