Should I buy it? (1 Viewer)

So I got an offer from my auto teacher for a 1st gen taco (unsure of the year). It’s got 230000ish with a brand new engine. Body is straight with no rust. Clear coats flaking away like most Toyotas of this age. Got some stupid 6in lift causing parts to wear excessively. He told me 5k. If I were to buy it I would sell my little ranger which I just rebuilt the transmission in and fixed all the leaks.

If it's 4WD, and the frame isn't rusted, $5K would be a great deal.

Tap the frame to make sure it's not rotted from the inside out. Get underneath it and check all of it.

It’s 4wd. And the frame is good but I’ll do a hammer test on it. Came from south Utah so should be good. But never know

Did you buy it (just curious)?

No, found out six inch lifts on a Tacoma cannot be reversed without major surgery. They have to tap and drill out the OEM bolt holes and brackets for the leafs to fit bigger ones
