High mileage Toyota Tacoma. Yea or Nay?
I've been thinking about a truck as it would be easier to load and dump things, but I couldn't see myself driving and parking a big 4 door truck. Been thinking about a Hyundai or a Maverick because they are smaller than your typical 4 door truck. As luck has it, a good friend and high school buddy really uses his Toyota trucks, and he is looking for a new one.
Specs are 2020 Tacoma Access cab, 2wd, automatic with 180k. Oil changes are every 3k...but he has a head gasket leak at #5 cylinder. He put some stop leak in it today and it will probably work. I spoke to my mechanic that works on my Audi and he said to pass and it would be about $2k in labor, but he hasn't done one in a while. My Porsche mechanic said I should really consider getting it. Use it and if I don't like it, dump it.
What say you?
