What to buy

Hello Im looking to buy a 5th gen 2016 about 85k miles minor accident door dent fixed for about $22k roughly. Looking for recommendations for buying a 5th gen and what to stay away from/look out for. Thanks in advance!

 

Frame Rust, regular oil change record , over all rust.
In that order!
Everything else is repairable, replaceable or ignorable.

Ah sorry I’m in florida so rust really isnt to bad unless next to the ocean. Thanks for the welcoming!

 

If rust and regular service checks out, then just pay for a pre purchase inspection to rule out repairs or potential faults.

 

Getting from a dealership most likely. If i buy from a non Toyota dealership would the qualifications and inspections be the same?

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Thank you!

Depending on your budget, the Toyota website for certified used will show any geographic area you set up in your search.
I was specifically looking for pre-2020 to avoid all the Federal mandated gizmos. I found a very clean 2019 SR5 50,000 miles thru the site, which I bought for my daughter.
My mechanic and I examined lube samples of diffs, tranny, TC and zerks (for propeller shafts). All untouched since new. So all were changed. Its history showed engine oil changes only. A CA vehicle that appeared to be a "mall cruiser".
My 2017 SR5 is the best vehicle I have owned. My daughter says same for hers!

 

Awesome thanks for the feedback. Look forward to getting one here soon.
