I think I have narrowed down my search to 2 options:
If you know or see either please let me know.
225K miles or less - the lower the better (really want under 200K)
No or minimal rust.
Clean title
Option 1:
2000-2006 Tundra Access cab 4wd
No Red or Gold
Prefer bench front seat, but I can fix that.
$4-5K
Option 2:
1995-1998 T100 ext cab 4wd v6
No Red or Gold
$3-4K
I've seen a few of each in my price range or even cheaper, but they go quick or they are toasted. The few that were not are too far away and I couldn't get there in time.
I think I am going to try and get in touch with a friend of a friend who goes to the auctions and see what he might have seen??
I txt'd with the guy in Greer who has a Tundra with a blown engine and a dent in the rear 1/4, but I'll end up with $2500 + cost of the truck to get it going right and thats if nothing else is wrong. He's asking $3K, but just dont think thats a good option.
Another guy over in Nashville has a Tundra with 270K, needs a rear bumper and tune up possibly more, throwing a few CEL codes. I got him down to $3500 over the phone, but not sure I want that many miles and he doesnt know the history on it. (Bought it from a title loan place.)
Talked with a guy today who had a Tundra that sounded like just what I wanted for $4K but he sold it @ 11pm tonight.
Patience is a vertue.
Then there are the guys with T100s with 440K miles asking $4900.
Or the same year and style Tundras with 150K and asking $11.5K
