Thinking of buying a TACO 2003, but too much $$?

i just bought some corner lights off a guy who bought an 03 double cab 4x4 with 80k for 12k cash. so yes, it can happen

 

i bought my 2001 taco extra cab from the dealer in 2006 for 18k. And it was worth every penny spent!

i love my baby

 

i just paid $13K for an 02 xtracab v6 4x4 trd in mint shape with 174k kms (108k miles)

 

I purchased a '04 Tacoma 4x4 xtra cab TRD 3.4L in 2007 for $21K from a dealer. Had only 9,500 miles on it. Worth every penny.

 

That's right, markets are different everywhere so do some researching to see what comparable trucks are going for in your area.

If that particular truck was for sale in my area, I could easily see it being list for that.

Last summer I paid 13k for my All black 2002 extra cab 5-speed 4x4 V6 TRD with 110k miles with one owner and carfax report with full service done.

Perfect condition in and out too.

They wanted 14.5k and i talked them down cause i dropped 4k down.

I would do it all over again, its the truck i have wanted since late 90's. and the 01-04 have the best body lines and best interior in my opinion.

 

It's crazy here, isn't it?
