Topic starter

Double Cab and Rear wheel drive. The owner appears to have taken good care of it.

Quote: "This is an Excellent condition 2004 Tacoma PreRunner double cab with the TRD off road and the SR5 packages. It features Power windows, locks and mirrors. Rear window slider. Tinted windows. Sprayed-in bed. Much more to list.

The recent repairs and maintenance included Timing Belt (with new water pump), new Radiator, new front brakes, filters and new spark plugs. The all terrain tires were replaced a couple of months ago.

The strong V6 3.4Liter engine runs excellent. Everything else working as it should."

It costs 12,900 dollars. Owner has clean title on hand ready. Odometer 164,000. Has automatic transmission.

Is it a worthwhile buy?

I agree with Mod that inspection is mandatory. You don’t want to overpay AND get someone else’s problems.

When I say “overpay”, that price is not out of line with what Tacoma’s are going for right now.  But used car prices in general are inflated right now.  For example, with my own car (2018 WRX), average list prices have gone up $2000 just since February. 

If you don’t absolutely have to buy it now, I would wait a few months for the market to correct.


Ok. Thanks.

It is too much for me but depending on your area Tacomas pull a premium. 

I would have a mechanic check it out and if it passes inspection and you like it, go for it.


Ok Thanks.
