To pull the trigger?

Hell Yea They Are

 

Does he think old tacomas are cool? Or is that you? I'd think an older guy would enjoy a vehicle with a smoother ride, creature comforts, and maybe 4 doors for family. Not trying to put your idea down, just giving you something to think about.

 

Sounds to me like he is a perfect candidate for an old civic or some kind of Honda car which will outlast the Tacoma by a million years

 

I have 298,000 miles on my 2.7L Tacoma and it runs extremely well. If the frame is in good shape, and you don't mind replacing old sensors and parts, I would go for it. Also, as others said, make sure to check the entire driveline...and it sounds like one of your family members can do that.

We're both Tacoma fans. He's the one that bought me my '97 and taught me to drive stick in it!
