There is a Terra cotta 83 for sale on eBay right now that claims 23k original miles with bidding up to 12k.....problem is this same truck, same Vin sold back a few months ago on eBay with actual mileage of 125 k..and sold for $5k.....this is odometer fraud and I have contacted the seller for an explanation...'I will be reporting this to eBay directly.......hopefully no one here is bidding on this truck.

 

The ads been pulled, seller emailed me and first denied the discrepancy, later sent another message stating they were taking down the listing after further research...yeah right........buyer beware when low mileage is claimed...

 

I tried searching for the ad as soon as this thread came up, so he must've been quick about removing it.

 

Its back up now, its advertised correctly as a DLX not a SR5 as first posted, they are also now claiming a possible mileage discrepancy of 100,000 miles from what the odometer reads, they are now stating the odo. has been worked on at some point....they obviously knew this when the first ad posted "23,000 actual miles"...claiming the low mileage was due to the fact it was hardly driven by its elderly owners....yeah right...
Despite the fact its a nice looking truck I still say buyer beware on this one...

 

Thanks for the heads up toyo, scammers should be shot and survivors should be shot again.

Only saw your post after i started the other thread. Looks like the new post has the mileage discrepancy.

 

Potential buyers beware!!!!!!!!!

Merged DieselSurf's thread into this one for clarity.
