    Seems expensive, you could buy a new one for close to that price. Sounds like a nice truck though.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but with all those additional options, I didn't know if it made sense to purchase for that price.

    what's a new 4x4 selling for in San Diego? Sounds like a nice truck. How many miles? 32k seems high....worth offering 27k and see what they say...good luck

    For comparison, in 2010 I bought my '09 Tacoma Acess cab TRD Off Road 4x4 with a couple small mods for 27k OTD, it had 6k miles and was immaculate. Granted this was 4 years ago. They were asking 29,995 if I remember correctly.

    Dude there is so much fluff in that add. For 32k go and buy you a brand new taco.

    It's worth it for the nitrogen filled tires alone.

    This turned sour fast...

    OP, the only thing to look at with regard to the selling price is the model as equipped from the factory. The add ons don't affect the selling price unless they are the exact mods you plan to do, and don't want to spend the time or $$ to do them yourself; only you would know that. Be that as it may, 32k is high. As stated, you would do better to spend that on a new truck, IMO.

    $2000 worth of insignificant mods like headlight bulbs, housings, LEDs and all the other crap has nothing to do with the truck, wouldn't spend a dime more than reasonable blue book. $32k buys a brand new truck, which is a better investment than a used truck with a dozen $50 mods done to it and a muffler.

    IMO.
