Although teal paint is original, the clear coat is patchy in spots.  The Heater & A/C work, but not the A/C.  The Driver seat sits so low, the springs may have broken.  I use a pillow, being short.

I’m selling because i need more space. Disclaimer it has a salvage title but minimum damage was done to it and have video to show  but because ins companies are still not familiar with teslas it’s easier to just take the easy route. Also had Tesla check it from back to front and no issues found. Clean business and serious inquiries only please. 

In 2017 I replaced motor that I purchased from LKQ that had 115,000. My truck at that time had 168,000. Today my truck has about 220,000. Also recently rebuilt the transmission and replaced over half the front end arms.

The engine is very good but the transmission needs to be repaired or replaced.

Tags just paid, clean leather interior, multi cd and cassette player. Mileage per gallon shows 29 but not sure if that is accurate, brand new Lexus transmission put in several years ago, no warning lights, electric moon and sunroof, electric seats, lots of room for passengers and in the trunk area. Seats fold down to increase the storage area, Cruise control, .i have not bought a new car in over 30 years, and I thought I deserved a new one. I got a Toyota hybrid. But this vehicle still has a lot of life left. The engine is strong and it runs very smooth. I have all the service records since I bought the vehicle over 20 years ago. Serviced at Lexus and Machado‘s in Livermore, all tires are less than a year old. Serious buyers only please, transfer and sale will take place at a wells Fargo banks with cash or a Wells Fargo cashiers check that is validated by Wells Fargo. I want you and I to be safe and confident of a clean transfer. Firefighter plates do not stay with the vehicle. I have had the car for 20 years and still love to drive it. We wanted to keep it as a backup but insurance was too high on my new car. There is an old scrape on the driver side rear quarter panel , and a dent in the passenger side rear door,  I got too close to the gate and scraped it a bit, paint not damaged.

Don’t make offer without seeing.
Cash only…

Rebuilt engine has 118,258 miles as of 3/3/2025.

I bought a newer Tacoma and I don't have the space to keep this one.

I bought this 2002 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab PreRunner Limited 4D in December 2001 and have owned it continuously until I sold it to someone in my neighborhood in August 2024. In February 2025, that person could not continue to make the payments and returned the vehicle to me. This reliable truck is in excellent condition with 338,697 miles on the odometer and 118, 258 on the rebuilt engine. It features a V6 3.4 Liter engine, automatic transmission, and 2WD. The exterior is silver, matching the interior. The Interior is exceedingly clean.

Key features include:
TRD Off-Road Package
Air conditioning and cruise control
Power windows and door locks
MP3 radio currently installed. Rebuilt AM-FM/CD/Cassette radio is in a box and ready to go with the new owner.
ABS (4-wheel)
Pickup shell and bed liner and original roof rack
Towing package
Alloy wheels
New tires
New trim for the windows
New pneumatic lift arms for the shell window as of March 2025
New driver's door lock actuator as of March 2025
Alarm
New engine oil pressure switch as of February 2024
New ignition coils and spark plug wires as of January 2024
New timing belt, steering tie rod and suspension control upper arm as of June 2023.

This vehicle has had one accident in approximately 2010 that caused some body/door/fender damage and after the police report was taken for insurance, I drove the truck several hundred miles for a planned road trip. No issues. I had the truck repaired once I got back home.

The paint is faded on the right side of the vehicle and the person who owned it from August 2024 to February 2025 took the shell off and stored it in a location where it scraped the paint on all for corners.

It's a great drive and I'm going to miss it.

How PrivateAuto Works

Center

1. Make an offer

2. Schedule the meetup

3. Seal the deal

Left

We are the world’s first [automotive transactional marketplace](https://privateauto.com/what-is-a-transactional-marketplace). Everything you need to get the deal done, right in the palm of your hand. No giving out personal information. No stress about how to [transfer funds](https://privateauto.com/payments/the-best-way-to-pay-for-a-car). It’s so streamlined and intuitive, you’ll hardly believe it.

We streamline the process of buying a used car from a private seller. Here are the steps involved.

### Browse private-party used vehicles for sale.
Take a look at our awesome car listings. Sort and filter by make, model, vehicle type, geography, and other criteria. Whether you’re shopping for a Land Rover, a Honda Civic, or a Ford Mustang, you’ll find great vehicles from private-party sellers.

### Make offers on vehicles you like
When you see a vehicle you like, make an offer. Unlike other platforms, PrivateAuto allows you to offer what you’re willing to pay—instead of accepting the seller’s asking price.

### Schedule the test drive
When a seller accepts your offer, you can schedule a meetup without ever sharing your contact info. Messaging and scheduling happen within the PrivateAuto app.

### Get an inspection and vehicle history report
You can opt for a [vehicle inspection](https://privateauto.com/used-vehicle-inspection-guide) if you want to be sure about the car’s condition. You also may want to get a vehicle history report (included with premium listing on PrivateAuto).

### Finalize paperwork with the seller
When you and the seller meet for the test drive, you can handle the [title transfer](https://privateauto.com/blog/title-transfer), bill of sale, and other necessary [paperwork](https://privateauto.com/paperwork) in minutes. You and the seller will go through the transaction sequence in our mobile app, including signing an [official bill of sale](https://privateauto.com/bill-of-sale) that protects you both.

### Pay for the car
After the seller signs the bill of sale, you will be prompted to release payment via [PrivateAuto Pay, our integrated banking gateway](https://privateauto.com/payments/privateauto-pay). Funds will transfer instantly to the seller, any time of day, any day of the year. No fees for the money transfer. It’s magic. Using PrivateAuto Pay, you can even buy a car remotely—without the need for [escrow services](https://privateauto.com/escrow-service-for-used-car-transactions).

### Finalize with the DMV
After the car is yours, you’ll need to go to your local DMV (or equivalent motor vehicle regulatory agency for your state) to handle registration, transfer the [vehicle title](https://privateauto.com/title) into your name in the state records, and other procedural matters. Depending on your state, you may also need to [get new license plates](https://privateauto.com/blog/how-to-get-new-license-plates) and pay car sales tax.

How to Buy a Used Car From a Private Seller

Historically, buying a used car from a private party had its pros and cons (PrivateAuto removes the cons and leaves you with the pros).

### Pros
1. More bang for your buck. Dealerships need to buy low and sell high to make a profit. The average price of a private-party used car should be lower than you could find at a dealer. Plus, PrivateAuto allows you to make offers; you never know when a motivated seller will accept.
2. More selection. Private seller cars vastly outnumber dealership cars, meaning that you can have far more vehicles from which to choose. [PrivateAuto even helps you to buy a car remotely](https://privateauto.com/blog/buying-a-car-long-distance-from-a-private-seller) if you find your dream vehicle in another state.

### Cons
1. Risk. You don’t know who you’re dealing with and the private-party used car market is awash with fraudsters. That’s why PrivateAuto requires identity verification from all buyers and sellers on our platform. Plus, we protect your personal information by routing all communication and interaction through our app, keeping you safe.
2. Inconvenience. With a private car purchase, you have to arrange payment, and there haven’t been a lot of great [ways to move funds between strangers](https://privateauto.com/payments/the-best-way-to-pay-for-a-car)—until now. PrivateAuto Pay allows you to instantly send unlimited transfers, fee-free, 24/7/365.

PrivateAuto gives you dealer-like convenience in the palm of your hand, yet you get the rewards of buying from a private seller. Whether you’re buying a pickup truck, a Dodge Charger, a Kia Optima, or a Toyota Tacoma, we help you get the deal done safely, securely, and conveniently.

Enjoy a seamless and safe transaction with PrivateAuto. 


Why is a Private Car Purchase Better?

PrivateAuto is [the best place to buy a used car online](https://privateauto.com/blog/where-is-the-best-place-to-buy-a-used-car-online) because we offer full transactional infrastructure that is self-serve. Where [other sites](https://privateauto.com/competitors) serve as “meetingplaces” that merely connect a buyer to a seller, PrivateAuto gives you the tools to get the deal done, from first contact to payment.

All messaging, negotiating, and scheduling happen in our app. You never disclose personal information. And we facilitate instantaneous, fee-free payments without exposing your financial information. 

Even though we’re [the best car-buying app](https://privateauto.com/buy/best-car-buying-app), we don’t hate other listing sites. In fact, we love them so much that we created a solution just for them. It’s called DealNow.

What is the best place to buy a car online?

Even though PrivateAuto is amazing, we know that you may find a great car listed for sale elsewhere, such as on Facebook Marketplace or [Craigslist](https://privateauto.com/blog/craigslist-vs-privateauto). We also know that these sites will leave you in the lurch when it comes to getting the transaction completed.

That’s why we created DealNow. DealNow lets you find a car for sale on another site, and then buy it with our awesome transactional workflow. You skip the marketplace aspect of PrivateAuto and go straight into a streamlined transaction.
 
Here’s how it works:

1. [Invite the seller to DealNow](https://privateauto.com/dealnow) via a custom link.
2. Enjoy identity verification, in-app messaging, and our test drive scheduling feature (none of which require you to exchange contact info).
3. Meet the seller, and drive the car.
4. You and the seller go together through a step-by-step transaction process in which you each confirm relevant details right in the PrivateAuto mobile app. From mileage to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the condition of the vehicle, we help you both prevent any errors.
5. You and the seller each electronically sign an official bill of sale. This is stored in your PrivateAuto account as a legal record you can refer to down the road.
6. You will then be prompted to initiate payment.
7. The seller will get a notification of funds received and confirm receipt of payment.
8. The seller signs over the car title and hands over the keys.

DealNow is so smooth, so safe, and so fast that you’ll never want to buy a car without it. No matter where you find your seller—from eBay Motors to [Autotrader](https://privateauto.com/blog/autotrader-vs-privateauto) to the friend of a friend—DealNow will help you get the deal done.

What is DealNow?

Filter our used car listings by geography to find private-party used cars for sale near you. Whether you live in Miami, Sacramento, Denver, or Des Moines, you can enter your city and state to find private seller cars in your area.

How can I find used cars for sale near me?

If you want to sell your used car, you can create a listing on PrivateAuto and set your own price. When buyers contact you, we allow you to interact with them without disclosing your personal information. We help you get the deal done, from easy test drive scheduling to instant payment transfer. [Get started selling your car here](https://privateauto.com/sell).

How can I sell my car?

In most states, you’ll need to get new license plates from your local DMV. California and Minnesota are exceptions because they mandate that sellers leave the license plates on the car when it changes owners. [Read our state-by-state guide to license plates](https://privateauto.com/license-plates) for more details.

Will I need to get new license plates after buying a used car from a private seller?

Each state sets its own license plate fees, and there is a wide variance between states. [Our complete guide to license plate costs](https://privateauto.com/blog/how-much-do-license-plates-cost) gives the facts.


How much do license plates cost?

The three most important factors when considering used cars for sale are the following:

1. Vehicle mileage
2. Vehicle age
3. Vehicle maintenance history

A well-maintained high-mileage older vehicle may well be in better condition than a lower-mileage, newer vehicle that was abused and poorly maintained. Ultimately, you want to find a car that has been taken care of. Obviously, you’ll also want to find the latest-model, lowest-mileage used car for your budget.

What is more important, car age or mileage?

When buying a used car from a private party, the first step is for the seller to sign the title over to you. After that, you need to apply for a title transfer with your state. 

How do I transfer the title after buying a car from a private seller?

If you’re looking for a low-priced used car, an older model might be the way to go. Cars 10 years old or older can often be in fairly good condition if they are well-maintained. Mileage is another factor: a low-mileage car may have only 50,000 miles at 10 years old, while a high-mileage car may have 200,000 or more miles by then. Do your research and get an inspection and vehicle history report.

Is a 10-year-old car too old?
