I have a quick question, I'm super interested in buying my dads Tacoma from him but struggling on what he could realistically get for it if he went to sell it along with how much I should tell him I would give him. Here are the specs on the truck. He did get it while I was big into my Land Cruisers and had 40s and 80s as well as a 100 at the time so he bought with my advice in mind.
2005 TRD Crew Cab with 141,000 miles
Rear Locker
Tow Package
ARB Front bumper
He's been good about servicing it the only thing I think he's done wrong there is Royal Purple in the rear end. Otherwise it's been maintained mechanically.
Issues are, body has some little dings, clear coat on flares is flaking off, paint is scratched and has never been waxed. He's rough on interiors so it's stained with coffee, hasn't been cleaned in 5 or so years and there's a fair sized hole in the drivers seat. It had a ding in the front and was repaired but not great so you can see a little orange peal and the aftermarket headlight isn't holding up well. The horn doesn't work but the cruise does, AC has a leak that needs addressing eventually. I think that's about all that I can think of.
I want him to come out alright but I know these hold their value well so they may not be the best purchase for me. What do you think he would realistically get for it listing it on Craigslist? How about if he spent $500 on it and got it all detailed and addressed the issues at hand?
Thanks for the help and input
