“Tina” Tundra 2000 Toyota Tundra Access Cab Limited 4WD Pickup 4D 6 ½ Ft Bed Project/Farm/Utility/Hobby Truck Selling Price: $3000, Cash preferred Kelly Blue Book Private Party Fair Condition Value: $6,024 Miles: 126,000 Engine: V8, 4.7 Liter, runs well, kept up with routine oil changes (have records), newer (2-year) starter & battery Access Cab: 4 Doors, the rear seats fold to provide more storage 4 Wheel Drive: Works great for the winter Bed: 6.5-foot bed with liner Interior: It's pretty luxurious with tan leather, heated seats, power locks, windows, doors, cruise control, a fog light (one, the other one didn’t want to hang out anymore), etc. Tires: Pretty good, could use a rotation Entertainment: Radio and a CD player which includes a CD titled “Rick’s Wild Mix” that came with the vehicle, think 90’s grunge Mechanical: • Power steering fluid leak: A routine fill does the job, depending on how much you drive; it leaks when you turn right, and your driveway will attest to that. • Radiator fluid leak: A recent leak means she needs a refill of the overflow, but she keeps cool and doesn’t overheat. However, this issue should be fixed with some sealant or by a radiator specialist, as she will likely leak while sitting in the driveway and should be addressed soon. • Check engine lights: The check engine light is on, and the codes are from the O2 Sensor Circuit (P0136 & P0156) that needs to be replaced, but it's rusted, and the Evaporative Emission System (P0440) from the gas gap/fill is not being sealed. • Rust: She’s a 2000 with a rusty frame that her past owners didn’t replace/warranty. Tina has a lot of classic Midwest rust, with repairs to the cross-member holding the transfer case (steel plates & u-bolts) made last year. Tina says she’s stable, but has come to terms with her condition. • Gas: Don’t fill the tank to full, a maximum of 20 gallons from empty (22-gallon tank total); Tina gets upset when you do that. There is an Evaporative Emission System issue related to the sealant on the gas fill nozzle/overflow, resulting in a leak. • Reverse lights: They don’t want to work anymore. Tina doesn’t like to reveal her next move sometimes; she’s mysterious like that. • Rear Fenders: They are holding on for dear life, will probably let go soon • Exhaust: Super rusty and held together with hope and a prayer Sold as is. She’s a good truck with a lot of character, heart, tenacity, and sheer willpower, and she will continue to be a good truck for the Toyota Tundra enthusiast or those looking for a cheap vehicle with a great motor and a heart of gold. She does leak and should have the power steering and radiator serviced so she can live into her elder years. Only serious inquiries would be considered; she’s picky.
