    The one with 110k is also leather, is worth 16998. It's a TRD off-road. This one is 26k. Dealer can negotiate to 25k max with TTL. I own a Camry in my life for 6 years, 1999. So far the best car in my life. Please can u recommend what issues I need to look for? My credit is 700, so hopefully to get some good deal.

    Cam tower leak is the only issue I've had. There is threads about issue on the site. I would think with kind mileage you can make the dealer give you a one year warranty.

    If the 20,000 mile one goes 250,000 without any major issues, it will cost you 10 CENTS per mile to own it.

    If the 169,000 mile one does the same, it will cost you 21 CENTS per mile to own it.

    Oops! Correction:

    If the 20,000 mile one goes 250,000 without any major issues, it will cost you 10 CENTS per mile to own it.

    If the 110,000 mile one goes 250,000 without any major issues, it will cost you like 12.1 CENTS per mile to own it.

    I'm figuring this in my head, which is probably a bad idea due to my recent concussion, but I think that's right.:thumbsup:

    Not too much difference, eh?

    2010 trucks will be coming out of the AIP extended warranty, mine already has, just something to consider as it is a very expensive repair, I would also check the bed closely for rust as they rust from the inside out in the front corners and around the wheel wells.

    Just bought the Hewitt bypass kit for $190 to make the AIP go away forever. Not a bad price at all.

    Huh.. so the Carfax says no miles after 2013, just renew registration and miles again this year. Seems it was a ghost car.

    Can you find a used one for sale from an individual with reasonable miles, preferably a middle-aged or older person?

    It's sometimes hard to get a real good deal on a Tundra: might have to check often for 3 months or something.

    If I was getting a used one, that's what I would look for ...

    I might be getting a lease . Not in a rush immediately, but that 2010 is kind of ghost car. Only think on Carfax was registration on Carfax. After 2013.

    Reiterating what i was asking, what major issues I should face if i buy a Tundra 2012 with 140k Miles. I am test driving both Tundra and ford f 150(no hate) and like the torque of Tundra. Research shows that AIP is a major failure for 2007-2014 tundras, and some other things can fail too. Expenses can run up to 4k. So , if i get a Tundra for 12k , and i replace AIP and transmission, it 12k +7 k (roughly).

    For a f 150, i am also getting same amount.
    Any idea?
