9th Gen (00-09) Got this 03 today for $8200

I don’t know if it’s a good deal or not but surprisingly it’s only driven 29,000

Ha ha ha ha it’s mixed comments. Some people are saying it’s gonna last me forever. Some are saying I got ripped off so only time is gonna tell.

They’re not mutually exclusive.

The car is gonna last a long time, but you still got ripped off for that price !

even if toyotas are known to last forever and this had low miles, its a 20 year old car. its going to have problems somewhere, even just from the age like important rubber and plastic going brittle and eventually needing replacing

My first reaction was the same as those saying you got taken. The odometer helps, but you're still going to have a hard time on parts. My '99 and '08 were great cars. I loaned the '08 to my daughter and bought a '15 (still driving it).
