Oil pressure

I was looking at a 2001 Tundra the other day, it has only 51,000 milesn
on it, they want 18,000 .00
for it. It started right up after turning the keys, but the oil
pressure gauge read high, dang near the top of the gauge. The used car
manager tried to tell me it's normal for imports due to the tighter
clearences in the engine. I haven't gone back, can't help thinking he
was feeding me a line of, you know what....Please let me know if he's
correct.....thanks ....Wishniwasfishin

My 2001 Tundra 6 cyl does that, and has for 112,000 miles. As the oil heats
up, the pressure reading goes down. Maybe someone put extra heavy oil in
it, too, or an additive. However, I think it is probably normal.

$18,000 for a 5 year old, used Tundra??? ROFL... do they kiss you
afterwards?? I only paid $15,800 for my 2005 NEW.

Kiss?

I'd expect roses and a new diamond for that sort of treament.

That sounds like the car dealer I talked to when I bought my used
Honda, She tried to tell me that Michellen tires will look a little
bald compared to other brands. This came after I told her the tires
needed to be replaced If I were to buy the car. some $tealerships
will say anything
