This truck a good deal!? i want to be a Taco owner!

Hello i Garret and i am new to the forum. seems like a great community here and i want to be a part of it.

Well first off im 17 and going to be buying my first car/truck here preferably before summer and am really interested in a tacoma. i work PT so i dont have to much money to spend but i was looking at this Tacoma and it seems pretty good to me what are your guys opinions on it? And do you think it would be a good first car/truck? I contacted them to see if a can check out VIN and the motor size. so i will get back to you guys when i get contacted.

sounds pretty good. i bet you could talk him down quite a bit especially right now

 

Yeah looks soild. It would definatly be worth checking out in person and trying to bargain the price down a little

 

I just sold my 99 prerunner for $4800.00. If you have cash I would check auto trader and hagle.... Just my .02...

 

Thanks for the responses guys! If i was to check it out what are some things i should look for/Check?

 

just for reference, I got my 01 4x4 v6 with 146,000 miles in mint condition in september '08 for $8,000. If that truck is as clean as they say, I think its a good deal.

 

not interested in a manual trans? they are pretty fun!

 

Also if i were to get it now i would have to finance it and was wondering since this will be my first loan can you make it so the loan includes tax and license? or would i need to pay the cash and licence cash? I need a truck for my job in the summer.

 

I can't get to the link but usually, if you buy from a dealer, you can get the license fees and taxes included in the loan. From an individual it all depends on the bank, usually not.

 

Alright that's cool hopefully i can get it included if i prchase it! and here is another link maybe this one will work for you on here it says 7600 but on craigslist they have it listed for 6900

looks good, I'd buy it
like they said, check the frame for rust....easy to do

 

Hell yea. Good deal. I would offer 6,200.

 

x2

Its a great looking truck and the price isn't bad at all

 

Thanks guys really much! i think im going to check it out today im hoping its a V6 but i think its the 4 cylinder. What are your guys opinions on the 4 cyl?

 

Personally, I wouldn't mind the 4 cyl if it was a manual. Since this is an auto, I think it would be an absolute DOG. Just test drive it though and see what you think.

 

My old 01 trd ex cab 4x4 just sold at the lot I traded it in at for $13,500. It had 61,000 miles on it. It was very clean though. Around here 4 wheel drive adds about $1000 over a 2 wd. It doesn't sound like the truck you are looking at is priced too bad.

 

Well i took a look at it today and the thing was beat to hell the rear fender has a big as ding in it, scratches everywhere tires in back were BALD and there were missing chunks of the upholstery seemed like cigarette burns. Kinda a let down but but ill find a Taco that fits my needs!

 

I thought maybe i would check out this one next what do you guys think? i can tell the exhaust has been modded but whats your guys opinion on this taco?
