Im in market to buy a truck. Basically it will just be used for me to get back and forth to work. Good new is I only work 5.2 miles from my driveway to parking lot at work. Then whenever we (family) go anywhere on weekends, night, etc we use my wifes SUV. So my vehicle rarely ever gets used. I drive about 6-8k miles a year in my vehicles... But I do want a truck because occasionally I need it for Lowes, Home Depot trips, etc...
Id really like to get a Tacoma/Tundra because everyone I know seems to swear by them. but my problem is I am a little strapped for cash right now. I dont want to finance another payment because wife and I are trying to clean up credit to buy a new house in next year or so... So... Im stuck finding a truck for cash. I have found all kinds of Chevy, Fords, etc in my price range but VERY FEW Toyotas. I did find one though...
For Sale 2000 Toyota Tundra SR5 AccessCab- V8, Automatic, am/fm/tape/cd player, Green Exterior, Tan Interior, Bedliner, New Timing Belt @ 175K, New Tires, New Battery, New o2 sensors, All Service Done at San Marcos Toyota. Have a folder showing all repairs done to truck. Awesome Truck! Ready to Drive! FYI...Does have a Crack in the Windshield.
I talked to him and he says truck is pretty strong and runs good. No problems. But it has 217k miles and that scares me. Like I said, whatever I buy isnt expected to last me forever, but would like it to be dependable. I cannot afford to go out and buy a new transmission or engine anytime soon. Im looking to stay in the $7,000 price range and again, there arent many Toyotas...
if you were in my situation, would you go for a Tundra with 200k miles or would I be better looking at a Chevy/Ford in the 100-130k range??
