Description:

For sale is a very unique, First Generation, 2000 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner 2.7L 4 cylinder truck with auto transmission that has been repainted (was originally Toyota red) in a high quality, custom, VW red paint by Autobahn Autobody in Costa Mesa, CA. I have owned this truck for over 5 years (2 kids learned to drive in this classic) and in that time I have tried to restore it to almost new condition using Toyota OEM parts. I'm an old time car guy and I obsess over the small stuff. This truck has 2017 TDR 17" wheels and tires, Katzkin leather interior (installed by Roberto's Auto Upholstery in Costa Mesa, CA at a cost of almost $2000), re-wrapped leather steering wheel, new front and rear bumpers, headlights and taillights, grille and new tubular chrome running boards. In the last month I have replaced the water pump and radiator. In the last few years I have replaced the fuel injectors, valve cover gasket, ignition coil, coolant overflow bottle, windshield washer bottle, driveshaft center support bearing, brake pads and rotors, dashboard illumination bulbs, and even the oh-so-common $400 evaporative canister that caused a check engine light about two years ago. The air conditioning evaporator and expansion valve were replaced with OEM units in order to fix a minor refrigerant leak that would cause the a/c to need to be recharged every six months. The a/c has been ice cold for over two years since that replacement so I know I fixed the problem the first time. I replaced the factory radio with an Alpine head unit and a slim Sound Ordnance sub was mounted under the passenger seat. Various interior trim items have also been replaced over time in order to keep the truck looking and functioning good. The frame, which is about the only thing on these trucks that proved not indestructible, is virtually rust free from having lived in southern California its whole life. I believe I am the third owner, having purchased it in about 2013 from a neighbor. If you are looking for a clean First Gen Tacoma that is in better shape than most, give me a call. I won't entertain insulting offers so be realistic and we can talk price. It has had body and paint work due to various incidents here and there over 18 years and I will tell you all the details if you just ask. Total transparency here. I will add additional photos soon and can email you pics as well. I will have the vehicle smog certified for the buyer. It just passed about 5 months ago but will need to be done again to transfer title.
