Selling my Tacoma and my last Toyota

Lol. Ok I'm tired of the used market. Too many ppl low-balling. They wish to buy in the teens. I think Access Cabs and pre-runners more fit those price ranges. KBB not realistic with market.

I rather trade into dealer. I'll take whatever the dealer is offering. Thanks all.

 

Ouch. Dealer beat all private offers at $21k. Now they listed it on their website and autotrader for $27k. The private buyers that test drove it, liked it, but tried to low-ball me way too much. I was firm at $23k (even though private sale KBB puts it at $25.5k for it's low miles, great condition, and packages). I also explained that a dealer is going to list it at $25k+ and charge dealer fees. So they would save thousands buying directly from me and not the middle man

Hope someone with money can enjoy it as much as I have

Check out the VIN, carfax & listing. I took care of it. One owner. If you want it you'll have to pay more though.

Also I moved to Georgia. So check out the dealer listing on autotrader from Atlanta.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes to sell. Dealers can usually get more because of the warranty they give. Peace of mind adds value.

 

You will be back JJ! Stay a member haha

 

What kind of car did you end up with. How do you like it so far?

 

FWIW - I live in Stafford and was looking for a used Tacoma for several months. I found a 2010 MGM DCSB at Rosner with 51k, their internet price was over $25k. I think you should sell it for market and not look back. Since you bought your Tacoma, all vehicles have gone up markedly in price; use this sale to offset that increase.

ETA - Should have read the entire thread before posting.

 

2013 Accord. It's good. But I miss my Tacoma .

I will adjust though. I know it takes time. The dealer doesn't have the Tacoma listed anymore though...I think they sold it a week ago.

I know I got a lousy price for it ($21k) and the dealer profited greatly but I was tired of dealing with the low-balling market and 21k was the best offer I got. I guess people would rather pay a middle-man dealer $27k for it than pay me $23k outright!

 

I think they're two different crowds. There are a lot of people who are afraid to buy privately for fear of getting a bad car/wreck repair/water damage/you name it. They really would rather pay the dealer premium for peace of mind (not that I agree with that...).

I looked very hard for my Tacoma. Like you I was flabbergasted at the used prices. In many of the low mileage cases, an additional $2K would buy me a new truck! I finally found a plain-jane 2012 for a less insane price, even got Toyota used car cert. (It has the factory tow package, which was really my only must-have item.) But I still paid $10K more than I had planned on paying when I first started looking - before I saw what the market was like.

 

I think the biggest problem is 95% of the people don't want to part with so much money to a private individual. Dealers finance , makes people feel more secure. Stinkin thinkin in my book. But it's the way of the world. At least op got a honda. They tend to hold value better than american vehicles. I have an 04 with v-tec 6 cyl. The car is very fast and easy driver. Great commuter car at 28-30 mpg. Bet you will have another taco at some point. I still have a 96 reg cab!!

 

ill pay 17k for your truck any day. bought by 09 TRD Sport pre runner DC in 2013 September with 60k miles on it for 20+TTL from a dealer. But great that you got what you wanted. I sold 2 tacomas previously for something different and now back to my third Tacoma in the past 4 years. This one is not going anywhere.

 

You are a taco fan like me. For cars I love my 04 accord, still worth 8-9 grand with only around 125,000. Had a camry previous to honda and will keep the honda for many more years, and my tacoma will be with me for even longer. Only reason I would part with my reg cab is for a dc cab. Can't ride both dogs in my taco with buckets.lol
