Need opinions on Tacoma

[grogie]

I have checked out a few others, one the frame was rusted through the other the interior was shot. Looked like they lived in it

Ugh... Yeah, I drive through Michigan on occasion and am shocked by the rust vehicles have.

Help me out here, what’s wrong with the $8500 asking price?
This one has 265K, $11500:

2006 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Rd Pkg SR5 6ft * 6-Spd, Manual, V6, 4.0L...

2006 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Rd Pkg SR5 6ft Free 30 Day / 1,000 Miles Warranty Extended Warranty...

Another one, private party, lower miles, 2WD, $17500 - agree this is a crack pipe price:

Toyota Tacoma - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle automotive sale

Toyota Tacoma TRD sport 6 cillinders Prerunner, New Spark Plugs, New Alternator, New Battery, New...

Seeing these prices make me, for the first time ever, happy about living in the south. If you're up for a trip, South Carolina and Georgia have quite a few second gens sitting around 150-170k for $8-12k. And did I mention no rust?

That might be a viable option, I'm not looking to spend a bunch I decided to get my BSN so money is an issue for now
