What do you guys think of this Tacoma?

I'm planning on purchasing this truck and would appreciate some opinions before I commit further. Thanks.

 

Good price if rust isn't too bad.

 

That makes me feel shitty that I paid so much for mine.

 

Be cautious, NY salts the shit out of their roads. I wouldn't be surprised if this truck is hiding tons of cancer in the places you can't see. (Inside the frame, under the fender flares, etc..) I worked on a truck that was passing through from NY last fall and it was only 2 years old and looked like it had sat on the shores of Salt Lake for it's whole life. What a mess!

 

I am pretty sure there's no 5-speed auto available in 1st gen, but that could be an honest mistake (or mine).

 

Look at the picture of that truck that shows underneath the hood. The air box metal clips are rusty as are a few other piece's of metal under there. That could be the signs of what's to come.

Just be careful! But nice looking truck from the outside

 

Good point about the airbox clips. These are pics he sent of underneath the truck. It was coated by Toyota 3 years ago. They also checked it for perforations but found none prior to coating. How does this look?

 

That actually looks in real good shape from what I can see.

 

It look totally amazing! Well, compared to our truck in Canada it's a new truck. I'll totally go for it if I had 9 000$ haha.

 

You are right. Its a 3-speed auto with overdrive (4th) and torque converter lockup (which can feel like it shifted to 5th).

 

Taking a look at it now
