    I said F*ck it and contemplated for months/years about getting a toyota truck. Seemed like a taco was jus beyond my price range, then Bingo. A friend of mine who owns a body shop and has a Re-sale licence picked up a damage (front end) salvaged 2005 tacoma access cab for 7k. He called me up and asked if i wanted it, for the price +fix it parts. I said Helllllllllll Yeah..... cough up $10,000 for a wrecked salvaged truck,,( i know im crazy as f*kk) then had to wait 9 weeks for the thing to get fixed up...
    Now BAMMMM!!! New taco 54,000 miles on it, and its REALLY clean..
    Ive had offers to sell it for 12k ,,, but i think im gonnna enjoy my new salvaged truck,,, especially since my cousin just bough a 2012 baja, for nearly $30.000

    It pays to be a frugal shopper....!!! too bad the wheels 18" and tires cost so damm much!!
    But,,,,,,,, Im in Da Game.!!!!!!@

    Nothing wrong with a salvage title vehicle as long as you know it was fixed correctly the first time PLUS you save a ton of money getting what you want for half the price. welcome to the taco club :thumbsup:
