    Seems like an alright deal, you could try to negotiate the price down more to make it better. Not a huge fan of the wheels and tires but that’s personal preference. Might be able to get a 3rd gen for just a little more $$$

    Looks like a pretty solid deal to me, it’s obvious the previous owner took good exterior care of it. You may want to double check the tires — hard to tell from the picture, but it doesn’t look like there’s much tread left.

    Ya the wheels definitely stand out haha and the tires do look like they’re nearing the end of life

    I agree, it looks like the owner took great care of the exterior. For the year and mileage, they drove about 15k a year so kind of on the higher side. I did notice the truck needs new tires or will very soon. Who did the radio install and was it done properly? Sounds silly but electrical is something that’s important.

    Nearing the end of life is a polite way to put it. They’re shot.

    A lot of the trucks appeal or lack of is personal preference. I think the price is too high personally

    Looks clapped out to me. I would try and find one that hasn’t been modded.

    based on quick search I think you can find a bit cheaper. These are California Trucks, tends to be more desirable and less likely to have rust.

    2011 toyota tundra for $16500 on OfferUp https://offerup.co/4GvWBUny64

    2008 Toyota Tundra 4x4 for $17000 on OfferUp https://offerup.co/ntpbz4ky64

    I used facebook marketplace and got myself 07 CM 2wd with 40k miles for $13,500 ($15k after tax and registration). Don't rush it and you will find good deals as people show up just wanting to dump their trucks.

    oh nooo, stay away. Also, When I was looking at a wide spectrum of cars my coworker showed me a 'company' that would do carfax for $5. You just paypal them $5 and put the vehicle vin number and your email in the memo and you would get the carfax in matter of few mins. I haven't used it in half a year or longer now but if you want to give it a try by messaging them first, lmk if you want the contact by pm'ing me.
