Found this Tacoma on Craigslist and called about it.  The gentleman said the dealership said it needed a computer and he is done messing with it so off to Craigslist it goes.

 

Toyota Tacoma

 

What the thoughts from you guys? Is it as simple as a buying a new computer?  Is this gonna turn into a mess?

 

Thoughts and inputs appreciated

Get it for $500, try a used/junkyard computer.  If it’s a bigger problem, you could probably part it out for profit anyway.

I bet a turbo and megasquirt would fix it.

That is dirt cheap.  I see it has a new frame, but check the body for rust.

If it's not obviously trash and you like the truck then i would buy it first and figure out how to fix it later. For that money it's unlikely to turn out badly.
