humanoid Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Well, time has come to put my 1999 Toyota Tacoma SR5 PreRunner 3.4L V6 automatic up for sale. Wife says I've got too many toys and my little rug rat is getting older now and we need a larger vehicle for trips. Mileage is 70-80% freeway. Routine maintenance has been performed by myself, oil changed every 3-5K miles. I've installed a new set of spark plugs and wires at 120K miles. Tires still have good tread on them. Power steering fluid, brake fluid and coolant have all been flushed less than 10K miles ago and was performed at the dealership. I'm asking $6700USD (firm), which is a pretty good price according to KBB.com, NADA.com and edmunds.com. Truck is rust free and has been in California its whole life. The truck is located in the San Gabriel Valley in SoCal, zip 91803. A list of goodies is listed below. 138,xxx miles (70-80% freeway) Husky floor liners Toyota OEM rear all-weather floor mats 1.5" Cornfed front coil spacers WAAG grille guard Toyota OEM bug/hood deflector 2001 Toyota OEM star pattern aluminum alloy wheels PIAA 520 fog lights with Toyota OEM toggle switch Smittybilt nerf bars deckplate and elbow mod TrueFlow modular intake tube Toyota drop in bed liner tint on driver and passenger side windows sliding rear window JVC stereo cassette player with 12 disc CD changer Well, that's all I can think of at the moment, I'll amend this thread as needed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me. Thanks for taking a look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I'm sorry to hear you're selling it...! It will make a great truck for someone though...those Tacomas run forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanoid Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Thanks, Leigh! I'm really hesitant about selling because I'm still so attatched to it and it still runs like a champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leighcm Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Anyone interested yet? Make sure you list it on Craig's List, maybe AutoTrader and/or eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanoid Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Leigh, had a couple lookers that might be interested. I'm leary of posting on those sites after hearing about all those scams, I really don't feel like dealing with any jokers like that. I think I'll try placing an ad on autotrader.com though.

Just don't let anyone come to your house...meet at a grocery store, gas station, etc., and only take cashier's checks drawn on a local bank that you go to with your buyer to cash before they take possession of the truck. And don't give anyone cash back from a cashier's check written for more than the needed amount. And if anything seems suspicious, find a new buyer.

Leighcm Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Congrats! I hope this doesn't mean you'll leave our forum.... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanoid Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Congrats! I hope this doesn't mean you'll leave our forum.... :( Nah, I'll stick around. I already miss my truck and I'm starting to get withdraws. We picked up a 1998 GS300 that the previous owner kept in pretty pristine condition. He lowered it about 2", put an l-tuned grille, side skirts, rear spoiler, GS400 rims and 2001-2005 taillights. It's pretty sweet and I love the power of the inline 6, feels like a V8 at times.

humanoid Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 One more thing, Leigh, if you ever think about selling your current GS, be sure to gimme a holler first! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 One more thing, Leigh, if you ever think about selling your current GS, be sure to gimme a holler first! ;) I'm thinking about it now...boredom has struck. I might have someone already though.... It's a 2008 GS350 AWD, Smoky Granite w/black interior, 9500 miles, Navigation, Mark Levinson, 18" Tourmaline Wheels, adjustable suspension, XM...almost everything available except park assist. I ordered it without that...no one parallel parks in Vegas, it's all valet!! Stickered originally for about $56k with all those upgrades, plus I put clear bra on it & tinted the windows. It's perfect too...not even a stone chip. Why am I thinking about selling it? I must be nuts... My only dilemma at this point is what am I going to get now? I'm toying with getting an SC430 because I've been wanting a convertible, then I thought about trying to find another Supra, then I found this beautiful old Jaguar XK8 convertible (but that's gotta be a maintenance nightmare). Maybe an SC300 if I can find a really nice low-mileage one, and I can add a turbo or two....hmmm.... Or maybe an IS-F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanoid Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 I hear those IS-F's are nice, but I've only seen a couple of those here in SoCal which surprises me somewhat. You should head on over to clublexus.com and get your fix over there. They've got a bunch of great group buys on the forum so be prepared for a lighter wallet... or purse in your case.

Leighcm Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 It's because they're $60k, and they came out just as the economy slowed...bad timing. Awesome car though. It would be a very fun toy! Maybe I will spend a little time on ClubLexus.com. I signed up a long time ago, but I'm not active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
