[QUOTE="tennridgerunner, post: 1251561, member: 26941"] Beat you up? Shoot, after growing up in a Toyota family and only owning Toyotas myself, I still want to beat myself up for buying a Ford. :rofl: I think you're being smart about your decision. The only way I would buy a high mileage Raptor ( >100,000 miles), would be if it had a clean Carfax and was only owned by one person. I was thinking hard about a blue '12 down in Georgia with 120k miles for $33k, but like you said, when you get up there in miles, you have to start budgeting for repairs and more maintenance. I bit the bullet and paid $46k for mine ($52k after taxes and a comprehensive warranty), but for me it was worth it to get the color I wanted and something with low miles. A lot of people aren't aware that you can search for used cars on Carfax's website. It's how I found my mom's LX470 and the Raptor in GA I mentioned above. You can set your filters to one-owner, no accidents, and well-maintained. I highly recommend it. That said, I couldn't agree more about how well Toyotas hold up. The only reason I decided to get out of my Tundra is the last two owners were hard on it, and with 186k miles, it's in need of a lot of deferred maintenance. Speaking of the first gens, I would suggest you take a look at the '05/'06 crew cab TRD Tundras. Great trucks that I would own in a heartbeat. Heck, as many issues as my '00 has, when I drove it 90 minutes home the other day after getting used to my Raptor, I still didn't half mind it. Something else you should know that I failed to research: Raptor upgrades cost more than the equivalent Tundra upgrades. Good luck to you, regardless! [/QUOTE]
