Up for auction is my 1997 Toyota Tacoma extended cab pick up. I have owned it for a little over 5 years, had it shipped from Florida to Ohio. It has had the Toyota frame check performed, rust free. Has been treated each fall with a petroluem based rust inhibitoir. No rust. Original Paint, you get what you see. Has only been brush touched. Never wrecked. I am only selling it because of the need of a double cab truck. It was smoked in prior to my owning it. The interior is overall clean, with the exception of the worn drivers seat cover. (see photo) and a few cigarrette burns from the previous owner. This truck starts, runs and drives exactly as it should, with no weird sounds or noises. It has the "bullet proof" 2.7 liter 4 cylinder matched to the 5 speed manual transmission with four wheel drive that all operate as they should. Flaws: Back up lights do not work. Clock does not work. The rear bumper is rusty and dented. A/C does not blow cold. The cassette player does not appear to work. (the CD player works fine, as well as the am/fm radio.) The windshield washer bottle leaks fluid, it had water in it when it arrived from Florida, never replaced, and froze in Ohio winter. The pump works, easy fix, JB Weld will fix it. Other than the above mentioned flaws, all factory installed options operate as they should. The bright side: Oil and filter have been changed every 3,000 to3,500 miles since my purchase. Uses no oil between changes. 143k, 3 belts, plugs and wires. (previous to my owning it) 149,500 Transmission rebuilt. Rebuild kit, bearing, input shaft,cluster gear installed. New clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing (Luk Made in Wooster Ohio USA ) fly wheel re surfaced. 150,126 Tires installed. 151,000 clutch slave cylinder installed. 151,200 clutch master cylinder installed. 157,857 Front rotors and pads replaced. 161,000 Parking brake cable replaced. 09/26/2010 Duralast battery installed. 170,566, New radiator,upper and lower hoses, up stream o2sensor replaced. 176,440, Brake master cylinder. 178,500, Valve cover gasket replaced. 179,386, alternator replaced. 09/2013 windshield replaced. 09/2013 Down stream o2 sensor replaced Both head lamps replaced Sept. 2013. Receipts for the above maintainance will go with the truck. All original paperwork goes with the truck,owners manual, window sticker ($25,291), alarm brochure, 2 keys and 1 remote.
