Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a used 1997 toyota tacoma on 3/15/07 with a rotted frame. fortunately i had another garage check out the truck within 30 days of purchase while warranty from dealer was still in effect. i want to report this so that this vehicle will not be purchased by anyone. it was not ny state road worthy, per state inspection criteria. the vehicle was green, 4wd, extend cab. purchased in rochester, ny. i was able to return it for a full refund, but want to be sure the crooked dealer was not reselling the vehicle. he also had another black tacoma, 1998 with the same problem, bought both of them at auction. *jb
