My New To Me Ride.

[Treasure_Hunter]

Been working on this deal for 1 year, picked it up this week once court gave approval of the deal.

A good friend's (95 yr old gym buddy) daughter was executor of estate of their friend who passed away 1 year ago, It was tied up in probate till this week..

2005 Toyota Tacoma Access cab V6 with 6 ft bed. It has 161,800 miles on it.
We settled on $2,000 cash, and I pay for the repairs which total $750. Replace both front wheels bearings, tuneup, flush and fill radiator, and replace all filters, oil change already done by estate and she threw in a battery guaranteed for life..

Clean car fax, no body damage and no tears on inside

With price, tag, taxes, and title transfer and the repairs I'm in it for a grand total of $3000.00.

If it was for sale up here the price would be $10K or $7100 US.
So you did really well.
Great trucks.

Her father is a good friend I met at the gym, he is 95 now and goes to gym every day when possible.

We met little over 2 years ago and I told his daughter that since I live 1.5 miles from him and she is 25 miles away to call me any time she is concerned about him. He lives by himself in home he built, his wife passed 10 years ago.

She gave me the best deal she could that the estate lawyer would allow. She took truck to Toyota dealer to have it checked over and they came back with $3000 estimate.

I told he to tell dealer she had to get estate approval and leave, I knew they were trying to rip her off. I had a private mechanic look it over and he confirmed they were ripping her off. They told her it needed new water pump and change timing chain since they were changing water pump and $1500 other repairs.

Mechanic couldn't find anything wrong with pump, not a drop was leaking, even weep hole was dry, we let it run for hour on drive way and not a drop of water/radiator fluid after hour, no oil leak either. None of the other issues they listed were real except replacing the filters and flushing radiator. Add to that they even missed the wheel bearings going bad I heard it and mechanic heard it on our test drive. Toyota wated $1000 to change front wheel bearings when I called to inquire, my mechanic says $180 plus parts.

I changed wiper blades, added freon to AC and added blind spot mirrors.

You did 'GOOD" Keep your fluids changed and it will go many more miles!

I bought truck because it was real hard to get 3 detectors and scoop in my Miata and not worry about someone cutting the top and steal them, use to be free to park on beach at Daytona and New Smyrna beaches, now it's $30 a day.

I also enjoy saltwater fishing and it's hard to get three 7 ft surf rods in Miata and roll windows up when it's rains on thevway home. 🤣

I could not do without my truck!

I could not do without my truck!

I have owned 4 sports cars, MG Midget, Austin Healy Sprite, 2 Miatas, 4 vans, 3 were full size Chevy customized, 55 and 57 chevy Belair, 70 Roadrunner, 3 Volkswagens, several miscellaneous cars, this is first pickup I have personally owned, although I drove company pickups for 20 years.

I will add a custom stereo to the pickup.

Once I'm comfortabke truck is dependable I will sell my 2006 custom Miata.

What a buy. You guys get amazing car prices there. That'd cost $15,000 Aussie easy here before fixing issues.
