When I go to the gas station, I am often approached by someone wanting to buy my ‘97 Tacoma truck. Not sure how much longer I can get it inspected as the frame is rusting. Might trade it in for a new one this fall or next year, if the prices are right and the delivery date isn’t too distant.
I drove a Tacoma 10 years ago. Lived in Pennsylvania and somehow the geniuses at Toyota screwed up and built a truck frame that would rust like crazy in the frigid Northeast.
Ended up, my mechanics remembered Toyota was recalling this particular line of Tacomas. Toyota ended up paying $14,000 to me to take the truck off my hands.
You may want to check if your ‘97 rusting Tacoma qualifies for that program...
