Looking at a 2014 SR5 that has spent most of its life in Idaho. I used to own a 3rd gen and 4th gen and those were both pretty clean...wondering if you guys would steer clear of this one based on the attached pictures.

Thanks for your help on this. I did a few things to fix the problem: -Replaced the ETCS fuse (found from reading other forum posts). -Reset the battery for 10 minutes -Replaced the tail lights -Did the "re-training" like you said So far so good. The engine lights are off (without having to do...

No, please....be "that guy". I'm very new when it comes to DIY on cars so I need all the help I can get (even with pointing out the obvious). :) Is it normal for both brake lights to go out simultaneously? It wouldn't be the switch, right? Since the middle one works?

Hi all, I installed a new battery last week and right away started experiencing strange electrical issues. List of issues: -Auto up/down on drivers side power window doesn't work. -VSC, traction, ABS lights are constantly on -right and left brake lights are out (the top/middle one works)...

Not at all. $5,500.

11k? wow that seems like a great deal. I bought my 2005 V8 with 155k for $12.5k so I think you should feel great about what you got!

Best state in the union! Awesome rig

As a test you could go buy an xterra or a Jeep with the same amount of miles and report on the maintenance cost difference

I just bought a 2005 V8 Sport Edition. So glad I went with the V8. It shifts so smoothly and I love having the extra torque

How can I tell if my XREAS is bad without checking for leaks? Do you think that a 2005 V8 at 155k needs a new suspension? I have no idea how long XREAS is supposed to last and I don't want to do any damage to the axles, etc. I'm thinking of getting Bilstein 5100's or an EMU setup. Last...

Sold!

50k?! I would do that in a heartbeat

It's definitely a grind to find the right one. I'm glad you found one! I finally finished my search last night...found a 05 V8 with 155k miles and picked it up for $12k. It is a beauty, hardly any rust and well taken care of. I bought it 6 hours after it was traded in and there were guys...

Selling my beloved 1999 Limited. I recently got into a 4th Gen (love the body style and wanted a V8) so I have to sell my awesome 3rd Gen. The previous owner was my father-in-law and he took really great care of it and I have babied it. It is pretty much all stock. Info: -208,654 miles (current...

Wow that's a great price. I think I would have a hard tiem buying on Ebay, so kudos to you for being brave enough to pull the trigger on something you've never driven. Sounds like it worked out for you!
