2000 Toyota 4x4, Good Deal?

I guy I have worked with is selling his 2000 Tacoma 4x4. He takes great care of his stuff, lives in Palmdale and commutes to Santa Monica/ Westside, Culver City, etc. daily working for the studios.

The truck looks great, but would 327k hiway miles scare you?

2000 TOYOTA TACOMA SR5 4x4 Xtra CAB CLEAN ONLY HWY MILES

Nice truck that probably still has some life left, but around here $5k will buy a similar truck with half the miles.

Still needs new rear springs, it has the typical Toyota butt sag.

I was contemplating as a beater truck (I have an '07 4x4) but the mileage seems like a deal breaker. It does have a K&N air filter though

Clean truck! He really does take care of his stuff, nice to see. That's a lot of miles...sure they go forever but I'd want one with less. On the positive side, it's equipped the way I like those trucks. 4-cyl., manual trans and X-tra cab+4x4.

A lot mileage used motor is 1000-1500 bucks and tranny is...

Too much money if you ask me for that mileage. YOu think it will go 400k plus? Maybe, then what?

Great truck for $2.5k.

Toyotas are ridiculously priced. The lift and wheels are a deal breaker too IMHO.
