Ya bought it!
Welcome to the club! I hope your truck lasts you for many long miles and years! There's another Jeff that owns his own wrecking yard + shop here in Santa Clara. He REALLY knows his stuff when it comes to Toyota trucks and he is really fair on prices...HIGHLY Recommended for parts and service! (Tip: He LOVES Corona beer!)

Northern California does have higher prices than most other places, but we also have one of the highest % use of Craigslist! It can really pay to SEARCH craigslist closely, especially FRI-SUN. (I'm in San Jose)
I found mine exactly 2 years ago now: Original owner, per carfax. It's a 1998 4x4 Limited, Auto, Factory Locker, had every option except a tow hitch. (which is a good thing, I know it wasn't used for towing at all) The only thing not working: the power antenna is stuck up. Immaculate condition, interior and paint, with Michelin's that only had 5K on them. The guy had 100K mile dealer service plan, so I know everything was done on time at the dealer, including new Tranny fluid. The dealer printed out all the service work done during it's life so far.
The topper: 135K miles were on it and I got it for $6,000 cash. 2 people had appts to test drive it before me, but they were LATE and I was 1st. They were both waiting after I was done test driving it, but I didn't let them.
The BEST DEALS GO QUICK!
