I need a daily driver, BAD! Im lookin at some deals here and there and was hoping anyone could tell me what spots to hit up for a GOOD DEAL!!

Im in the LA area and the San fernando Valley so anywhere around there would be best. Toyota Tacoma PreRunner or a Dodge 1500 v6 or better. Again, this would be for hauling and as a daily. Gas cost's here I come

Ive found this so far:

Essentially I want a truck below $20k with under 20k miles....

 

my buddy has a 84ish Toyota Pick-Up like this... (without fog lights)


- has the factory height adjustment thingy
- doesn't have a cat (got jacked) but passes smog w/ flying colors
- has under 100K miles
- L-4 carb'd
- manual transmission
- OEM mud flaps
- and that stupid bar in the truck bed

$3000 obo i believe.

but then again, it most likely isn't heavy duty enough to tow stuff like crazy.

i'd buy it for a DD and offroading too tho.

 

^^^Back To The Future FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It looks cool man, thanks. But too old actually. Dont need a fixer upper...my rotaries are for that. I wanna comfortable smooth ride and haul my rx's around with no problem....track day fantasies got me drooling.

 

"1984 Toyota Pickup"

Not bad. I'll pass on teh ford classic. That toyota is a 4cyl...no bueno for hauling. Thanks for the info brotha....keep em comin if you find any. Thx.

Im leaning more towards the truck I posted earlier tho. For $18k it's a pretty good deal and affordable. Come with the hitch I need too.

Ive also been lurking the Tacoma Forums for a lil more insight. Apparently getting a manual has a little more resale value than automatic.

Buy 3 REPUs. Have one tow the other one as it tows the other one

You can have a private army stashed in that.

or you can buy a real tow truck

What about the V8 Tundra?



Dodge Ram:


There's another one, but I forget.

I don't know how the 4 door Tacoma feels, but the 2 door ones are uncomfortable, my dad has one of those. Talk about lack of space.

 

I assume your aiming for used?

 

those v6 tacos arent that good for towing... I'd get an old truck especially with the cost of insurance and everything ed

 

Diesel trucks are pretty cheap now, I'm sure you can find a nice one for under 10k even.

 

Just get this

For real towing you need a real tow truck.

 

10 grands... cheap?

WTF

 

for real how mcuh you lookin to spend my vinigga

 

Well, tonite I skipped on my Carmax appt and headed to a local Toyota dealership. My coworker has a home girl who works there so she's settin it up. Once I get a more sufficient down pymt, Im aiming for a V8 4runner 2004 model. It's certified and really smooth to drive. Quiet and even comes with the tow hitch I need. Who knows...maybe while Im stackin, I might come across an even better deal. God Speed.

 

Cool thanks man. How old are we talkin?

 

stick with the Tacoma 4 door long bed!!.......'05 and later.
Older 4 runners with the tow package had problems with their rear springs so check them really good!

 

i love those 84 toyata pick ups! i really need a dd as well

 

I Love my HEMI

 

^^^^ That one works.

 

Cool man, will do. The it was the 4runner sport edition I test drove and it felt great. Had no clue about the rear springs tho. I"ll double check on that. Thanks for the info.


That HEMI looks dope man, this would be perfect for me as well. This looks like the 2500 model. I think

 

Nah, it's just a 1500. He shoulda went with a Cummins.
