new cowboy in town

after months of reading ppls Tacos ive desided to join this site
kinda depressing after i did all my homework and searched high and low for for the best price on a 08 trd sport dbl cab indgo blue to come to teh realization that i would have to be pulling in some major coin. here there $36,000 with out tax $40,000 tax in on the road . i live in canada btw
so i thought i get a used one, no problem. trd access cab sport 27000 KM asking $26500 +tax i dont know what there smoking
i need a truck bad and nothing compairs to a taco hands down i test drove everything
i was thinking about getting a older 2002-2004 or even a s10
just what some feed back on what some people have to say or if they got any suggestions
although i would like a new truck its outta the question

 

Hey, Welcome to TW. Where in TO are you?

 

Hey azzurri, check www.leasebusters.com before you buy used. You might get lucky and work out a good deal with someone trying to get out of a lease.

 

ya i been on there lease busters auto trader craigs list you know any othere good one

 

Cant think of any others. You can ask for a cash incentive to take over a lease. Sometimes they run into a few thousand dollars. Dont over look a lease takeover.

 

azzurri, try to buy a 2nd gen Taco. Since you just bought a house and all, you should wait/delay the truck purchase. With high gas prices, people will start dumping their gas guzzlers for compact cars. I will sell my Taco for about 20K in 2010. If you wanna wait, you'll have a dealer maintained truck for a good price.

 

2010 will see maybe then they will have hybird trucks lol and who knows they might have solar power

 

Exactly why I'll have a newer truck by then.

 

alrigfht first dibs on your old rig pending

 

I need a 50% deposit?

 

[now your starting to sound like all those salesman tht i hate, god if i conducted bussness like them i would have no clients there was only one cool guy that i would buy a car from.
i dont think ppl in sales have friends lol

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld!

 

However, they pay their bills on time and manage to feed their families. That's their driving force.

 

but there are different ways you can conduct your self i personaly belive you can be firm in pricing without acting like a prick

 

Welcome!

I know a lot of people cross the border to buy them. Have you looked into that? Only problems I've heard about are getting day time running lights installed before the inspection when they get it back to Canada. You can buy the OEM parts to do it yourself though for around $50-$80 IIRC.
