OTRAMM and SLEE have good pre purchase inspection checklists (via video and website).
Check the VIN if you can, it's uncommon now to find one that hasn't been in since kind of accident. Thorough MX records are $$, hopefully current owner had been keeping up with it and is forthright.

All,
With my 80 series sadly sold, I have a few spare dollars that the wife hasn't earmarked for new appliances. I'd like to spruce up the Tacoma (Pre-runner SR5 V6); Looking for OEM 5 spoke wheels (I have the steelies with plastic hub caps) for a period correct look - picture attached...

The repair cost is dependent how much you want to fix - none I would consider required fixes to drive the truck, but A/C is nice. I'm military and moved from NV. There's no fees to catch up on. Where you register it is up to you.
