Hi,
I found a 2007 Sequoia with approx 185K miles for $6150 plus tax and tags (that's as low as dealer will go). A couple of owners, no accidents per car fax. The pre purchase mechanic said it looked good but needs a rear main seal and he would flush the brakes. And needs an alignment. The front struts are two different brands for some reason. He didn't see any evidence of wrecks or flooding. I'd say it's in fair condition on the inside. The outside is good. No rust underneath. I'd paint the hood and roof probably. The rear hatch interior panel is missing and the bezel around the side view mirror selector mechanism and around the driver side seat adjustments is missing. I would be putting less than 8K miles/ year for sure. What do you guys think at $6150? Should I take the plunge?
Thanks in advance!
Deinetly Not. That is a fair price for an 07 sequoia. They have a 4.7L V8 engine that lasted a million miles reportedly twice on two 2007 tundras with the same engine. The downsides to the sequoias are that the V8's require a lot of maintnence and get horrible mpg, but that's it. They are humongous, reliable, extremely high build quality trucks. You have nothing to lose if you buy the rig. It looks like yours is in tip top shape and these trucks can easily last 300k miles.
Thanks @endrit15 for the encouragement. I like the look of the 2007 (even better than the later year Sequoias) and it's nice sitting higher up (I currently drive an Accord). Definitely looking to keep long term ...my area tends to get a lot of heavy rain and this has good ground clearance.
