Newbie questions

I am looking at buying a 2000 sr5. It appears to have some limited options like leather, heated mirrors and sunroof.

My question is, how can I find out all the options that came on the vehicle, like the sticker that is on it when it was new. I have the VIN.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I suppose the dealer might be your best reference resource to tell what came as standard for that year model, also I'd ask for a complete list of options available at that time. It would also be handy to get a code breakdown to tell you what each number and letter stand for in the Vin. I'd be running a Car Fax also to verify any major collision, flood damage, clean title history etc. Welcome to the Forum and happy wheeling!

Thanks Guys

I've checked Carfax, it checks out ok. It just lists it as an SR5, no details on the options though.

One thing I did find odd was that even though the truck was manufactured in 10/99 as a 2000 model, carfax doesn't have the first registration listed until 2002....any ideas here?

Anyway it has low km...only 65000 (here in Canada eh) and underneath doesn't look kike it has seen a winter.

I'm very excited and from reading all te posts here, I will not regret the purchace.

Thanks again,

Marty
