what is the easiest way to shop used vehicles

I am day dreaming about a specific vehicle... what is the easiest way to search without going from dealer to dealer website? Really interested in a 2013 DCLB sport 4x4 in super white.

Or would i just be better to buy new for not much more money?

 

Autotrader.com has worked for me.


Didn't see you were looking for a 13. New would be the best deal because of the resale values if your getting a newer tacoma.

 

How's your credit, Toyota might still be offering the low interest rates. If so your monthly payment on a new one might be closer to what you want.

 

Surfing the web is a tough and back breaking job, but it can pay off. Or you could try honing your psychic Tacoma searching abilities , which most dealerships are not currently set up for providing a timely response. Just buy new.

 

wasnt aware of any low rate. credit should be ok - i may check into that. i usually finance through a credit union to avoid that at the dealer, but low rate is low rate.

 

Rates are awesome right now. My bank offers 1.49% up to 36 months or 2.49% up to 60 months. Toyota or other banks may offer even better deals.

 

we bought my wifes corolla at 0.9% through Toyota, and since then I believe they started offering 0%. I'm not sure how low the rates are on the Tacoma's right now.

Toyota Financial also used to offer a I think $1000 incentive for being a college grad, not sure is that still exists, its been a couple of years not.

 

Buy new. Used ones are over priced. You will probably get a better deal on new. Toyota normally does not offer lowest rates on Tacoma's. I checked banks but finance guy at dealer got me a better rate. He was trying to trick me in to buying extended warranty.

 

Have you tried cargurus.com?

 

The best. It takes an instant market value of eacg vehichle by mileage, pkg etc. And lists them by how good a deal it is respectively.

 

Great website when I was shopping for my IS350

 

Most Credit Unions I know of are very competitive or lower than banks, especially if you are already established and have good credit with them already.

A lot of times when the dealers offer those specials, zero percent etc. they usually won't deal as much on the vehicle price to try and make up the difference. I believe they have to give an upfront kickback to the Toyota (or Ford/GM etc) financing company to get the so called zero rate.
