Too good to be true price?  Rusty frame?

no link to add and that's not a tacoma..

 

I had an 86 that had the frame rot out on me.. while driving, dropping a spring hanger.  It was great..They rot bad by the gas tank on the pass side.

Looks like 4wd.  Cheap Toyota trucks are either a scam or the frame is bad.

Sorry about the link, couldn't find it again.  Bad frame = bad times ahead.

If it were not a scam, it's no picnic relocating the good bits to another vehicle.

The ad said Tacoma.

There is someone or several someones posting ads like this on CL, they originally tried to use cars in the scam and then moved to trucks.  I fell for an additional for an Explorer that sounded ideal for me, 2wd with a manual transmission for....SURPRISE $1,400.  The seller responded to my inquiries...then disappeared.

Another scam ad is for a lifted, 4wd Chevy C1500 that has low miles and a price that is NOT consistent with the excellent condition or miles. 

99% of vehicle ads with prices under $2K on Craigslist are scam ads.
