I can write a long list of why I believe that a used Tundra with around 200k miles would be a fantastic investment; however, I have never owned a used Tundra so my argument is hardly credible. Would you purchase a used Tundra with a hefty amount of miles? Thoughts on value of car this old and value if he has actually done the maint he claims? It is up to 146,650 now. Should I ????
Your 06 has a timing belt. I should add that the price includes a matching topper.Just purchased a 2009 Tundra SR5 4.7 V8 2WD for 11,500 cash (12,500 after tax and doc fee). Drive it hard occasionally, complete vehicle services, and make sure your mods are acceptable! It looked great, Toyota recommended 100k. I got over 330k miles on all of them. I was using a K&N oil filter and super thick full synthetic fluid. But yeah miles not a problem I specifically targeted the 2009 based on the low number of complaints for that year from Carcomplaints.com. I paid $12 K. It had 40K...It has 230K now and it still great truck! "Personally, I prefer to have a low-mileage used vehicle unless I can pay the vehicle off and have no payments. Check and double check leaks and fluids and really listen to the shift and engine. But I know they still have had no major issues yet either. I'm the third owner and according to CARFAX this truck has never had any major issues. It’s no more extra work while your doing the timing belt. Got 166000 miles, all I've done is replaced an alternater & regular maintenance, It runs great ! They’re not as clean, of course, but they’re not busted or worn out.”This man racked up more than 100,000 miles a year by “regularly driving long-haul trips from his home (presumably in Louisiana) to North Dakota, Wyoming, and Virginia” for his job.Hopefully Toyota will make some videos about this well-used Tundra they’re taking delivery of.
I went to a couple of Toyota Dealerships and talked with the folks who worked there (including Mechanics). It should be changed every 100k miles. Toyota is going to dismantle and study this 2007 Tundra pickup truck, which single-owner Victor Sheppard put over a million miles on in less than a decade. im new to the whole rv thing weve been looking at fifth wheelers approx.7000 pounds will my 2008 sr5 tundra with the 5.7 do ok pulling what they call ultra light and 1/2 ton trailers... pleeeeeese help the more i read on web about it the more confused i get I couldn’t tell you how many miles are on them now.
Thank you All Out Tundras and TundraCrew for your input. I would change it on your truck or at least inspect it. It drives new unbelievably but have no info on the history of it. Here are some direct replies I received from online Tundra groups, All Out Tundras and TundraCrew, after asking what one may look at before buying a used Tundra pushing $200k miles. Both have been great trucks and running strong. Great truck that was used as a truck, I will replace a couple of wear & tear items - then drive it till the wheels fall off.Just remembered: A timing belt/ water pmp will add $1200 to price if not done ( each 100k mi ) Just curious, what do you define as true car abuse? There is a fella on YouTube who get 1 million miles out of his. That was what I wanted to hear!2010 DC 5.7 4x4 118,000 miles, alternator seized brought to shop $1000, before taking it home at the shop tranny blew only had forward gears. Super clean. A 200k truck here is in a junkyard, a 200k Arizona truck can be driven for the next 100 years still. As a Toyota Tundra enthusiast, I always find myself on the fence debating if I would buy a used Tundra over a new one- let alone one close to hitting the 200k mark. That should tell you. Apparently the 2016 Tundra he has now is the 16th Tundra he’s owned in his lifetime. We are negotiating. I bought my 1st gen with 140,000 on it. The previous owner got it at 35,000 miles and service records from the Carfax showed that the oil and filter were changed regularly every 5,000 miles or so. Do you have the vehicles owners manual?
Goodluck.I’ve owed 3 Toyota’s with 4.7s in them and one with 5.7 now.
