We are selling our 1996 Tacoma. Here is it's story. We purchased this truck at auction about two years ago. It was owned by a public entity (can't remember which one) in Roanoke, VA. Thus, a southern truck and no rust. It was advertised as needing a clutch. We put in the clutch and put it on the road. The tach works but the speedometer reads 3-4 times faster than you are actually driving. I took the dash apart and checked the connections, and reassembled it. The speedo now reads as it should, but I did crack the dash plastic piece in the process, just FYI. Overall the truck is in pretty good shape. Like I said earlier, it's 18 years old. There are dings and dents and scratches you can see in the picts. It will make a great runner with a little fixing. No serious rust, just a bit of surface rust on the underneath and a few spots. Not many frills on it. Manual doors and windows. Split rear window. Bed liner. Standard bumpers which are both a little bent. Tires are fair. They don't need to be replaced now, but they are not new. There was no interior carpet, and the seat was trashed, so we went to the local salvage yard and bought the seat and carpet out of a 94. It looks pretty good. There are a few stains but no tears on the cloth (not plastic) seat. It looks pretty good. The carpet from the 94 is a bit off in the fit, but certainly usable as is. A couple of other issues. We don't have a key to lock the doors. The key we were given works on the ignition, but not on the doors. Beware locking yourself out! . . . A guy bumped me last January at the polling place. We fixed the cracked valence and corner light with new ones. All in all it is a good truck. I wouldn't mind keeping it, but circumstances find me with 3 trucks and a car right now, and I need to move a few on to new owners. I did some research and the other '96 Tacomas I found went for over $4000. At this point, I have more than that in it, but I got some use out of it, so . . . Starting the auction at $2800. No Reserve. Bid like you mean it. Email with questions. Thanks for looking. NOTE: If you have less than 25 positive feedback, contact me first before bidding. I had a couple of low FB bidders who would not pay or communicate on the last auction that are causing me to have to relist it a second time. Glad to sell it to anyone serious, but let me know you are by messaging me and letting me know you are real and mean it.On Aug-13-14 at 10:54:57 PDT, seller added the following information: Several people have asked about air conditioning. It does not have AC. This era of Toyota trucks, AC was a dealer added option. They all came pre-wired for it. All the dealer had to do was bolt on the parts, and plug in the AC button. With a little effort, you could probably get the parts off of another one at a salvage yard, and put them on, for reasonable cost. Since we were in PA, we didn't have much need for AC except for about a month in the summer, and I just wore shorts . . . :-) But you guys looking at it from the south, I understand the need.
