    Welcome to the forum. Good deal imo, but I'm from CA and everything is expensive here. Check cam tower for leaks.

    Thanks for the response. Trust me I hear ya... Chicago is not that much cheaper.

    Guy seems to have taken really good care of it. I’ll take a peak at the towers

    Thanks again stormtrooper

    Lost track after #1.
    Get under it and look for fresh fluid leaks and anything more than surface rust.

    I think you'll be happy. I bought mine with more miles, more beat up, smaller motor, for 18k. And I'm very happy I did

    Welcome from WI
    Some suggestions for basic maintenance and mods.
    Coat bottom with fluid film for winter salt protection
    Keep washed in winter underside and touchless car wash
    Keep wheels free of salt paint bubbles easy
    Wire drill brush hitch metal spray with black rust paint if when needed
    Spray in Bedliner if none
    All weather floor mats
    TRD shift knob nice over stock
    LED bulbs for headlight fog improvement
    Grease driveshaft fittings every oil change
    Check for recalls

    Nice truck TLC and should last a long time

    Thanks all

    Truck has remote start, spray in bed liner and a few other bells and whistles.

    This is my second Tundra. Had an 05 quad cab limited bought with 112k and sold it at 265k. Hoping for similar results.

    It also has a K and N cold air kit...has a pretty good throaty sound. It appears that the original owner put some type of push button start accessory on it but current owner knows nothing about it.

    As long as it has been taken care of, that looks like a good deal.

    I am not concerned about mileage more the price. I ended up getting it and absolutely love it.

    Thanks
