New kid on the block with a few questions

I'm on the market for a 4th gen Tacoma. I would like to have some of your opinions on the Tacoma I've been looking at.

Heres a picture



And some information.

1999 TOYOTA TACOMA XTRA CAB SHORT BED 3.4L (V6) SUPERCHARGER 5-SPEED TRANS SR5 TRIM WITH TRD OFF ROAD PKG 4x4, 127,468 Miles, A/C, Fully Loaded, CD, Premium Sound, ABS Brakes, Solar Tint, Sliding Rear Window, Weld Custom Alloy Wheels, A/T Tires, Rhinoliner Bed Liner, Stainless Steel Bed Caps, Westin Nerf Bars, Stainless Steel Rocker Panels, K&N Air Filter Intake System, & Tow Pkg. $11,995

I'm just a little worried about the miles it has with the supercharger. I'm going to test drive it tomorrow if i have time. If anybody could tell me if this a good deal or not and what kind of problems i could run into with this truck. TIA

thats a great price as far as im concerned. i just picked up my 04 for 15, and its got a lot less than that. less miles too though. mine has about 65k miles on it.

i didnt look at the pic, but if its as purty as it sounds... lol

i just got mine with 135k and have not had a problem at all. These things last and last and last. I know of 2 that have 225k and 1 that is almost 350k miles on them. Don't worry about that.

I would ask if the timing belt has been done, that is about the only thing you need to worry about with the miles.

Good price for a TRD locker truck with the supercharger. I don't think that's a 3rd gen. I have a 2nd gen 4Runner - the trucks from that era are the 3rd gen trucks. Technically that would be a 4th gen but I think its more appropriate to call it a 1st gen Tacoma.
