So Toyota Said they'd buy my Tacoma...

For $22,000...

So tempting for sure, 2008 Tacoma 4wd SR5 w/ ~48000 miles.

only issue is that I'm super attached to my truck

but thats not bad for a 5 year old truck.... which means that its lost approximately $8000 over 5 years; wow!

 

collectors item - no more Radiant Red Tacomas...

 

that Scion FRS is looking mighty tempting though

 

The FRS does look wicked but I drove the standard version at work and I hated the clutch on it

 

keep the truck.

 

sold!

 

For a new one! That you can mod all over again!

That's crazy low miles

 

Was it a letter you got in the mail? If so, it's a marketing gimmick to get you to come in and try to sell you another vehicle.

 

22k is a super fair price for a trade in. I would take that deal and get the BRZ version

 

I Like the looks of your truck. Keep it.

 

If you really want to ....get a BRZ! But if you still NEED the functionality of a truck,keep yours! its one of my favorites on here.

 

I don't know. I have a Tacoma; wife has the FRS so I can choose. Or I could in theory; she hates driving my truck and she LOVES the FRS and I don't blame her, that car is a freaking blast. And she drives it like it was made to be driven. Never knew she was such a leadfoot, lol. Not the fastest thing out there but it's more than fast enough, handles like it's on rails, and of course it looks pretty badass in certain colors (the silver is a massive fail IMO, the two utter winners are the black, which she has, and the orange - which is a color I normally can't stand but on that car it looks great).

The FRS is FAR more comfortable than my Tacoma in every way, fits me even though I'm a big guy, and gets serious head-turning attention. If I didn't have to occasionally haul a drumkit or amp rig around to a gig, I'd have seriously considered one.

PS: our FRS is an automatic with paddle shifters for the ultimate win. You would think that car should be stick only but I'm afraid this time the auto wins the day.

 

no I was at the toyota dealer picking it up for the 50k service and the sales manager told me he was looking at the truck back in the shop.

 

btw, I also have another little car... 2000 honda civic si as a second daily and fixer upper

 

For that price mine would be gone tomorrow.

 

are u crazy SOLD!!!!!!!!

 

They'd "buy" it, or give you that in "trade in"? BIG difference.

 

yeah didn't ask... but I'm guessing in trade

 

The civic is lowered on eibachs, DC Headers and Skunk2 exhaust, MSD ignition, AEM intake... just some bolt on really. Car is in rough shape, well not bad for a 13 year old car... working to clean it up and fix some cosmetic issues.

I have some plans for it... new wheels, clean up the interior, and I'm going back and forth between a H22 swap or B20v frankenstein build. New paint, and some rota grid wheels. I wanna go all motor for sure.

Thats all assuming I keep the truck and the civic... that FRS is looking so awesome

My 08 TRD OR SR5 access cab 4x4 V6 with Leer hard shell cover just turned 38k miles.
