My neighbors have a very clean white Toyota pickup in 2 wheel drive they want to sell. Two wheel drives aren't exactly in demand around here and its a basic standard cab but he told me he'd sell it to me for $3500. The good part is it's only got 80,000 original miles. He bought it a about 2 years ago from our other neighbors who moved here from northern California. It doesn't have any rust and they say it drives great.
My wife is already saying no but I know those old 2.4 liter Toyota 4 cylinders go for ever. My oldest will be able to drive in 3 years and wants to mow lawns in the summer so I think.its the perfect truck for that. It's hard to find book values on a truck that old but I think it's a deal at $3500. I'm going to go drive it tomorrow. Does it sound like a deal?

That’s even older than my ‘95 taco. I wouldn’t pay over $2K.

$3500 is fair if it’s decent condition with 80k.

The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

A clean California '92 Toyota pickup, with only 80k miles is fairly priced at $3500, and is a great find. Though you might try to haggle with the seller.

I’d buy it and don’t even need or want it.

Way under valued IMO at least for my area. I have a 94 Toyota pickup (pre Tacoma). It is in good shape, no rust because it has been in GA its whole life, and has 145k miles. I get offered $5000 just about every time I go to Home Depot. I’d need $10,000 for me to let it go because I like it that much. It saves miles and gas on my Tundra. BUY IT!

It’s a unique vehicle due to condition and mileage. It will probably sell for his asking price. $3500 is just not that much money. Buy it if you want to. I would.

Good basic truck...
It will be worth what you pay... forever.
Like a 12 valve or a 7.3... They simply hold their value... forever.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Fuel injected 22R may be the most durable engine ever built.
Have 4 Toys parked out front and I'd buy this one for that price.

I would buy it but might offer less depending on whether I liked them as neighbors or not.

if the truck is in the condition that you say it is, not rusted and banged up, 3500 is a good price. Try to get it for 3K I think you got a good deal. Specially if your son is going to do lawns with it he’ll make that back in one season. Change oil and air on a regular basis you’ll get a lot years out of the truck. Get some pictures if you can, keep us updated.

Dad bought a new '92 2WD 22RE in '92. It had A/C but that was about it. I think he gave $8K for it t the time. I had an '89 std cab 4x4 with the 22RE. New, it was $10K. How times have changed.
That truck is worth every bit of $3,500. Perform regular maintenance and it'll outlast you.

It amazes me how well Toyota pickups retain their resale value.I've been driving a 22yr old Tundra I bought new and another 22yr old I bought about 4yrs ago.Both are still great trucks and I have no desire for a new one.Here are some Tacoma listings I found.Their prices are shocking on some of them.If you have a chance of getting one with 80k miles on it at a good price you might want to jump on it. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-1992-Toyota-Pickup-c3641

Those 4 cylinders will go a long while. I look at it like how many dollars per mile will this cost me to drive vs. something else? You will be driving that truck for a very long time. The downside to a 92 is that some parts will only be available on the used market should he need them. Mechanical parts like the speedometer may quit eventually and not be repairable but otherwise keep on truckin.
Sidenote on Toyota dependability-
I bought my wife a new Camry hybrid in 2013. When the youngest went to college we gave it to him with about 150K miles on it. He's now graduated college as a doctor in physical therapy, and is still driving that car with almost 300,000 miles on it. He spent very little on the car all those years and it's still helping him get his life established. Considering the financial circumstances young people face nowadays, how can they afford to drive anything but a Toyota?
