Give me your opinion on this truck

98' Tacoma 4X4 Xtra cab v6 power windows and all for 9 grand, milage is around 110,000. If has clean title and good shape would you say its a good deal, I believe its got plenty more miles left in it.

I am not sure what the blue book says, but toyota are tough as nails. I own a 2001 Tacoma v6 TRD, it has 72K on it and have had 0 problems. Ask the seller when they last changed the timing belt, normally done on the v6 at 90K, most people change the water pump while they are at it, no extra labor to change the pump while you are doing the belt. I expect to get a least 250K out of mine. The 3.4l v6 in the toyota has been out since 95, and they are known to be reliable and last. If you feel the price is right, the mileage wouldnt concern me.

That is relatively lwo miles for the truck.

Compare it against [url]Traderonline.com[/url] that is the best way I have found to get an answer for "reasonable or not"

Seems a little high to me for a 7 year old truck, but I have been out of the car business for 2 years. I always go to autotrader or getauto.com and compare prices.

Seems a little high. I have a 99 Taco V6 4wd and love it, but 9 grand seems a little steep. Check edmunds.com or kelly blue book (kbb.com).

I dont know about the price, but I do know that 110 grand on a yota aint chit. Them things will run forever.

Oh yea, my dad has a 1979 Toyota Hi Lux with 240,000 mi on it and it still runs great. You can't beat Toyotas. A Chevrolet with 110,000 on it for 9 grand is high but toyotas areworth alot more than a chevy ford or dodge

Sounds to high priced. Almost 8 years old now. Your going to start having problems such as new hoses that need to be replaced. I would say about 7,000 would be the right price.

HIGH...REAL HIGH. $7,000 max.
