    Hello everyone. I came to the forum for sound advice from tundra lovers. I purchased this 13 year old, one owner vehicle today and it is in far better condition than i had anticipated. Now I am reluctant to drive it. Should this vehicle be somewhere as a cream puff? It has 96k miles and is "perfect" in every way. there is a very small ding on the passenger door that can be fixed. The interior is flawless. Drive it or no?

    Welcome!

    Drive it. I have a 2005 double cab with 99,000 miles and it's mint inside and out other than one tiny flaw in the headliner. As much as I want a newer truck, I can't justify it with how nice mine is. The 1st gens are great trucks. :)

    Great find!!! The only reason to me to not drive would be if you could make a good profit from it, depending on what you paid for it, then maybe get a Gen 2. Even then you may not get another as clean or low milage.
