id like to keep this truck as long as possible, get my moneys worth out of it

MacGruber · 10-24-2009, 01:59 PM

I voted forever...seeing as how i bought it used with 100k on it already! I'm hoping it will last me another 100 at least

Janster · 10-24-2009, 02:40 PM

I picked OTHER....

I'd love to say that I'd keep it forever - but I'd be lying.

There's always a newer tacoma around the corner with all the bells & whistles and neat stuff that I gotta have. I'm spoiling myself as I get older.

Maybe I'll wait and see what the next generation tacoma's are like and go from there.

tacomaatw · 10-24-2009, 02:56 PM

I was trying to hold out until 2014 (one year after the possible 2013 redesign of the Tacoma), but I was losing confidence in my 2001 Galant for long distance trips. So I pulled the trigger and took delivery about a week ago on a 2010 Tacoma.

I really wanted a more fuel-efficient model, and even considered the A-BAT concept before Toyota put in on hold when the world economy tanked. Hopefully the A-BAT be reconsidered after sustained economic recovery. One thing, though. The A-BAT was supposed to take Toyota back to its compact truck roots. And I like the mid-size Taco quite a bit.

I'm keeping my Galant for in-city travel so that I can keep my miles off the Taco for a possible trade-in in 2014. The Galant's also a V6, pretty sporty with good tires, and it gives me a different driving experience-- probably something like the previous posters said about wanting to get a WRX. I really wanted a G37, but it wasn't practical. I like to do things around the house myself, and I couldn't fit a water heater or toilet in a sports car.

I love my Tacoma.

hedlesbrmstkbass · 10-24-2009, 11:12 PM

ilovetacos · 10-25-2009, 11:30 AM

I just paid mine off so I will probably be keeping it for a long time. Maybe when the new redesigned Tacoma comes out I will reconsider.

GTVAPSAMTIK · 10-25-2009, 11:47 AM

I am still getting used to me 2010 Tacoma trd and I think I will keep it for long time.

okie · 10-27-2009, 01:10 AM

shockittillyareconizeit · 10-28-2009, 06:00 AM

I'm gonna be giving my PreRunner to my girlfriend and i'm gonna get a 4WD Taco.

kroggy · 10-28-2009, 11:30 AM

I had to say other.

I'm selling the old tacoma to the insurance company tomorrow. Rolled it during some freak early winter here. Then buying a new to me 04 TRD off road friday or monday, whenever the insurance check clears.

Zac808 · 11-04-2009, 01:10 PM

I will keep my Tacoma and if my wife ever lets me get a bigger toyhauler, I'll get rid of her car and buy a full-size diesel truck.
