Im glad I did when looking for my taco. the first one I looked at had a bone dry t-case with torched gears. the one I bought was in immaculate condition. ya, toyotas never break....but if they are abused and mistreated anything can fall apart.

If all the running gear is good, go for it. Get a rachet and a rag and start checking everything before you purchase it.

Where do you live that curbs are that High?

Just make sure you don't make an emotional purchase. Something like this tells me you are buying someone else's problem. Make sure you look it over real good. If it was me personally, I don't like to buy vehicles and immediately start dumping $$ into them.
