Im looking at getting a T100 4wd... 3.4 v6, manual trans... tons of miles on it... had all regular maintenance done since it was new... So, anyone know anyone with a T100? My Tacoma is being bought back by toyota due to frame perforation from rust...a problem only found on the USA made Tacomas... The T100s were all built in Japan, and do not have the frame rust isses...

 

Do it!

 

word...that is SICK!!! j/k

 

Didn't you buy a tacoma like...yesterday?

 

What the F ?

 

yeh the t-100 is good. some stronger components than the tacoma..a little worse on gas but not by much.

how much did toyota give you for your taco?

 

I just ignore him.

 

To keep the thread on track, yes, I know 2 people who had T100's. Both of them are no longer running. But, those people didn't take care of them and didn't do regular maintenance, either.

Edit: And from what I know, neither one of them had frame rust issues.

 

thats what I have read...

Ill know this week sometime.. the buyback was approved... I just wait for the offer...ill get about 6k for it.

 

Wow, i didn't realize how much of a douche spinz was until now.

I would say give the T100 a shot if the miles dont scare you.

 

Took you this long to realize it!?!

 

I never bothered to read his old posts. lol

 

do it, I have a friend thats got one and the only thing thats ever gone wrong with it is the radiator leaked when he bought it but thats was no biggie. Fixed the rad and the things a tank lol

googled pic not his truck but this is what we were doing last weekend lol

 

6k for a 97 tacoma???? wtf!!

 

I got it! 1996 T100 SR5 extended cab, manual, shift on the fly 4wd, 3.4L...every single option available in 1996...ABS...air bags...power windows, locks, tinted windows, sliding rear glass, bedliner, running boards... cruise...you get the picture. Its got 186k miles on it and it runs like a top..oil is clean as hell...and barely any rust..the frame doesnt have hardly a peep of surface rust at all. Im stoked!!!






$6580 for a 1996 with 170,000 miles...non working air conditioning, warped rotors, runs shitty sort of... yup..toyota stands behind their **** hardcore...they are giving me 150% of kbb RETAIL value in EXCELLENT condition... no matter the actual condition..

Its no wonder toyota has so many loyal followers.

 

You should have told me to buy five of them!

 

you can only do it once... and its not too late... go find a 95-2000 tacoma and if thetre is a hole on the frame from rust...you can get the same deal. I didnt do it on purpose though...I noticed the hole and then found out about the buyback program.

 

There are 0 toyota trucks here that have no rust. They all have TONS of rust, like doors falling off rust.

 

buy one 1995-2000 model years only. as long as it runs and u can drive it to the dealership, it can be bought back for 150% kbb retail.

 

For sure? Does it have to have a broken frame or just one hole?
Might actually do this as i can get enough money to buy one without selling my other truck first

 

googled sick f350 to get a ricer one but i found this..

 

any hole from rust bigger than a dime. or, rusted enough to punch through the frame rail with a hammer.

 

yeah this is a common problem on certain year toyota trucks. mine specifically has 0 frame rust. the only rust on the entire thing is a little spot on the tailgate.

 

whats with the sig zig? you don't even have it yet...do you?

 

its sittin oustide right now... I brought it home tonight around 7.

 

Pics?

 

I don't know how to read...


what color? like flynn said..hook up the pics.

 

all I can do is run out there right now in the dark...which equals shitto pics...but what the hell...

 

shitty night pics with a cheapo camera...

next to the condemned Taco...

 

Definitely better than the red one, but how many miles & how much did you pay for it?
