I'm ready to move on from my 2000 Toyota Tacoma. I last drove it in September 15th 2024, when it started to make a clicking noise (https://recorder.google.com/da51eb54-7ff4-4ee4-a345-4650e5e24201), then lost power before black smoke started coming out of the tailpipe and it shut down (all in the course of one short trip without any prior issues). Could be something major or something more minor, but I didn't take it to a shop, so I'm selling as-is for someone to work on as a project. The engine does start/turnover, but the engine eventually shuts down after struggling for a bit.

The car was running fine until this point, no issues with the brakes, electronics or transmission etc, and its fluids have been changed and maintained (I flushed and replaced the coolant with Toyota OEM summer 2024). There is a small cosmetic dent in the rear side panel as well, next to an area where it was tagged and painted over (see pictures). I got this from a friend, who got it from his dad (dad was original owner in inland Los Angeles, friend in Oakland, and now I am the legal owner with my name on the title), and replaced the door and tailgate handles which had broken, as well as the battery and some hoses (in early 2021).

Note: It will need to be towed from my driveway since it is currently not running. The registration is PNO (planned non operation) I have all records from ownership including a clean title and smog cert, as well as two keys and a key to the camper shell. The tires have air, but I also have a compressor if its not being towed on a flatbed or trailer.

Engine: 2.4L MFI DOHC 4cyl (2RZ-FE Engine)
Transmission: manual

I'm looking for best offer since I'm not sure of the value here, but would much prefer someone who is respectable and reliable in communication to maximizing price. Thanks for reading and I hope this truck can find some new life with someone who will get good use out of it.
