[Bludool]

I am looking at above truck. 40k miles. $22k

Thanks

It is priced too high.

There are better deals out there. How far are you willing to drive? What options are important to you? Budget? Miles desired? We need more info to help you. I know in Chicago a dealer had a carfax one owner with 65k for 18k they had been sitting on for a bit. I'd keep looking being willing to drive a ways and looking at Autotrader, cars.com, and craigslist can bring you better deals.

great low miles truck. what is the blue book on it?

[DMZX]

In my area, E. Oregon, a similar truck would high blue book at $19,800. Used 1st Gen Tundras are scarce in the PNW. I did a Auto Trader search within 100 miles and found 1 2005 4X4 SR5 and it was an AC. If you live in the Puget Sound Basin or the Willamette Valley you will have better luck. There are a lot of 2nd Gen's out there.

I picked up the following,

2006 DC
V8
SR5,
4x4, Tow Package, etc...
48k
4 brand new tires
New pads and rotors
Brand new toneau cover

I ended up adding on a $900 Toyota Warranty that covers me till 96k. I paid about $19000 with the warranty and registration fees that popped up. I have put about 700 miles on the truck in the last 3 weeks and I love it. I do not love the $80 in gas every 6 days but hey I got a nice safe and reliable truck to haul my family and my jeep.

Thanks for the feedback. They are giving me high dollar for my trade. I have an '05 GTO that they aree giving me $19k for, i tried selling car on several forums and no one would even get close to that. Factor in the tax advantage on the trade and i am only out about $3,300 in cash. I am sure that
there might be a better price on a Tundra that was similar, however, i am not sure the overall "deal" would be better. I saw the Truck again today as they have been holding it for me while i have been traveling. It really is super clean. I am more concerned with any issues with the make and model.

If the scheduled maintenance has been done by a dealer, you can get the service history at this website: Toyota Owners Official Website: Service Coupons, Owners Manuals, Service Scheduling and More

You have to register, but it is free.

I found that my '05 DC SR5 had been recalled to get the ball joints replaced. You might check that. Timing belt replacement at 90K is a costly, but required, maintenance item (~$800) if the dealer does it.

Generally the '05 -'06 Tundras are considered the best of the Gen 1's. I do not think you will be disappointed with the one you are getting. Mine has >100K on it and still drives and rides like a new truck.

Good luck and welcome to the forum!

I have an 05 Double Cab 4x4 and love it. Better than any other truck I have ever owned or ridden for that matter and much nicer than I had expected. On many vehicles previously owned, the experience gets old over time. The truck has been truly enjoyable.
