I drove the truck a few hours ago and it was close. Now the brake won't release and I have it backed into a parking space.

Is 129000 miles too much for a Toyota Tacoma?

Sep 03, 2009 by Yea, I'm a band geek. | Posted in Toyota

I'm looking to buy a in use accustomed to truck, a Toyota Tacoma in particular. I have seen them ranging in miles from 30000 all the way to 250000. So I'm not sure about 129000. I know that Toyota has a talented reliability rating and they can go several miles. Do you think 129k is too much?
The year of it is 2000

If the payment is right, it runs good and everything looks good... I wouldn't be afraid of it. I've bought cars with 180,000 miles on them and still driving them 2 years later. You may deprivation to do some repairs on them. but still a lot cheaper than new ones.

I had a 1994 Toyota pickup. It was a 4x2 with no name. I bought it at 14 miles on the odometer. It had 250,000 miles on it when the timing punch broke. I forgot to change it. Anyhow, I didn't take very good care of it, once missing oil change for 20,000 miles. I never had a unwed problem with it. So, now I only buy Toyota's. I had one 2001 Hyundai Sonata but had a few issues with it. I drive a Corolla now.

If it was taken care of and the toll is right I would definitely consider it.

I characterize as 129,000 is not too much. That's an average of less than 15K a year which is good. I personally have only ever bought Toyota-made vehicles. That will likley never change. They are not exhausting to maintain and you can do a lot on your own. Just get a Haynes manual and some simple tools. I get most of the things I need at Walmart or Autozone. I get my plant parts from citytoyota.com. They charge less than retail and are cheaper than my local dealer (even after shipping). Exactly be sure to run Carfax report on the truck and get an inspection if possible. It is also good if service records are available. Big choice! The Toyota is a great truck and there are plenty of parts out there to make it look better and perform better. Once you get the truck do the following to clip it up:

New battery
Clean battery cable contact points
New spark plugs
Change the oil

Get diamond back headlights
Tone
Wheels

By the way, my 98 Tacoma has over 280,000 miles on it!

That truck fair-minded broke in. You still have at least another 100000 miles with proper care

My circadian driver is a 1986 Toyota SR5 (pre-Tacoma) 2x4, 4-cylinder 22REC engine, Fuel injected, with a 5-speed transmission I bought new. At around 125,000 miles the accessories like the alternator, power steering expand, shocks... needed replacing. Needed a new clutch every 145,000 miles (on my 3rd now). At 285,000 miles the timing chain snapped. Still has initial transmission and differential.

Had to drop a new engine in at 325,000 miles due to bad mechanic replacing timing trammel work let anti-freeze into the oil pan and it very corrosive and destroyed the bottom end.

I changed the Castrol GTX oil every 5,000 miles and wasn't enthusiastic a /1/2 quart between oil changes up through 325,000 miles. Now it has 362,000 miles on it and it runs like new. I get 25 MPG urban district/ 30+ MPG highway doing 65 MPH.

So, 129,000 miles is low milage if it has been well maitianed.
