    Hi everyone! I’m new and about to make a big purchase.
    It’s a 2011 Toyota tundra limited TRD off-road. IMG_1626.jpg IMG_1621.jpg
    134k miles
    It’s POWER seats, power windows, heated seats , BROWN leather.
    2 owners
    He wanted 16.5k and I offered 15k.
    Is this a good deal for 4x4?
    He bought it from Maine and drove to Texas. has RUST, and heat shield plates make noise.
    should I buy or no?

    Only if the price is right. I would expect lots of rust free options in TX, so this would need to be a deal to interest me. I don’t see anything too crazy, but cleaner is always better.

    Check under the bed liner, but this seems really good. I'd plan to treat it with a rust converter so it doesn't progress further.

    still, no rust is better, so you're right to get a discount.

    It's an ok deal, IMO, but it also has more rust than I'd consider. It'd be a "no" for me.

    It’s an 1hr and 30min away. I’ll ask him to take pictures of the Berliner. It’s COVERED THOUGH. so idk how to look at a rust on a bed liner.

    If it has a plastic bedliner. Those trap water and rub thru the paint and create rust
