Have no experience with builds, but plenty of interest and time. So, I'm thinking of getting this 2001 Tundra SR5 from a local dealer, asking $10,900. Hard to come by older Tundras in good nick around Iowa. Plus for me this has a shell, really good condition bodywork, interior is nice, clean, and it meets my needs (i.e., 3-4 week trips with my 8 year old son, sleep in the back, do dirt roads, Wyoming, Utah, etc, good times). But the vehicle has 150,000 miles on it: so here's my question: is that a bit too high? Can I expect a string of problems/maintenance in the next 50K miles? Are the things that I will need to change out the kind of things that need changing anyway as I gradually make the Tundra more expedition-worthy (i.e., better shocks, bigger tires)? Oh, and any stuff in particular I should have checked out on the vehicle before buying? Appreciate input, thanks!
Don't know how to insert pics so here's the link to the Tundra as advertised. And no, I'm not intending to advertise it - don't want anyone buying it from under me, tho I guess that could happen.
