Reasons To Not Buy A Low Mileage 2015

Hello,
I found a low mileage (25,000 miles) Tundra for sale. It pretty much checks all the boxes and is reasonably priced. The only thing I’m struggling with is its about 8 years old.

Is this a valid concern or should I not be concerned?

Edit: I currently have a 4Runner and have been looking to get back into a Tacoma/Tundra.

 

Nope.

 

Just check underneath. That many winters in the wrong part of the country could cause more rust than you’d think, even with that low of miles.

 

Only issue with the ‘15’s is the small gas tank.

 

Mines a 2017, bought her new… but with the prices of new trucks the way they are, this might be my last truck. I’m keeping her til I can’t drive anymore. I say if it’s a clean truck and the price is right, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it.

 

This^

 

I can vouch for this

 

I'd run with it and never look back. Those low miles for that year is crazy. You can always put a bigger gas tank in it. With gas prices what they are, I'd leave it the hell alone lol

 

This!

Only down side i can think of

 

My 2015 has less miles than that and still has new car smell. Always garaged

 

Jesus. Get out and drive that thing. Enjoy it for Pete's sake!

 

Hmmm. Might help explain the low odo reading.

 

The guy that designed the 15 gas tank was from Ireland.

 

Or Hawaii!
I replaced it with a 46g transfer flow tank

 

Not sure why Hawaii would design a small ass tank. Most of our driving here is city and in traffic. We need a bigger tank than you think.

 

My comment was based on the idea that in Hawaii you could drive back and forth across the island several times before needing gas.
They don’t need a bigger tank, “than I think”. That’s why I added the 46g tank. That’s what I think.

 

Small, what 7 gallons?

 

Like 26ish gallons.

 

But you can only put 21 gallons in it...

@big_jarv buy it.
I love my 2014.
Check engine light has only come on 2 times in 7 years.
1. I didn't tighten the gas cap after a fillup.
2. Someone stole my fu(king cats...

Do it

 

Sheesh. 8 years old. PuLeeeeeeeze.

Says the guy who is still driving his 1997 T100 w/270,000 miles cuz it's still so much fun to drive!!!

And for the record still on the stock water pump and alternator (have replaced the brushes twice).

 

And when you’re offroading you only get 7mpg. So you’re basically looking for a gas station every 30 mins.

 

I agree. Do it. I haven't had too much reason to complain about tank size with the 14.

 

Gonna work out the logistics and see if I can make it happen!

It’s about 2k miles away from me haha.

 

Real offroaders know the benefit of carrying full jerry cans in the bed, just saying...

 

Before my tank upgrade, I would fill up with gas and I could probably pass by one gas station before I was looking for another one!

 

That's like 409 miles and like other man said, if you offroad, then just bring some cans with you.

 

Had over 350k miles on my 93 Pickup and 06 Tundra when we sold them. No issues. Over 450k miles on the 99 4Runner we sold. No issues. Not impressive but over 200k on a first Gen and couple second Gen Tacomas over the years. Just bought a 2016 Tundra with 152k miles on it, plan to keep it well into the hundreds of thousands after… I wouldn’t sweat it.

 

I bought a 2015 with 86k to build on and I don't regret it.

 

I did the tank upgrade now I just cry at fill ups
