Regular cabs at a premium now?

Saw this truck while picking up mine from service at the dealer today. Couldn't believe the price for a used regular cab base model. There was a decked out Tundra next to it for only a couple grand more. Is it just me or does that seem pretty high? Gotta wonder if they are running up the prices because the reg-cabs are on the way out....

14 was the last model year for single cabs, that's a 4x4 which makes it harder to find. Hell I had to order mine in 13 to get the auto with buckets and center console, and it took almost a month to get it in.

 

Well, is it worth that?...NO. But, I have a 2014 Regular Cab 4x4 with bucket seats and auto tranny and $26k wouldn't buy it. They can't easily be replaced and I love it!

 

Just for comparison:

2011 $30K
2012 $19K
2012 $22K
2013 $22K

So yea, very overpriced.

 

I paid just under $21K for my 2011 Regular Cab, Automatic Transmission, 4x4, with about 12,700 miles on it a few months ago.

 

i paid 28k for my 2012 in early 2013...zero down tho..i'm never getting rid of mine.

 

I miss my old 97 reg cab. Best truck I owned. Had to sell it due to kids.

 

Lots of them around. IN FACT..... check out this rare and elusive reg cab TRD off road model. note the "Vehicle Information" description as Powerful

Most used car salesman are clueless

That little 5 lug is squatting under the weight of the god awful fender flares.

 

Damn those flares are a WTF.

 

I thought about looking at this one. This dealer always have good Toyotas. http://click.messages.autotrader.co...e72ee42c30ea38334442984c0abb7f0289ccbac48832d

 

i just paid 26.5 for my 2015 access cab with a convenience package...4.0 with the 6 speed.

 

Access cab is not a regular cab...

 

Thanks! I did not know that...now i do.

 

So why post about an AC in a regular cab thread?

 

Because he did not know that... and now he does.

 

Less is more?

 

According to them Its a v4.

 

I think I got a pretty good deal on mine when I bought it. Mine is a 2014 RC 4x4 with auto trans and buckets. It had 3k miles on it when I bought it in Nov of 2014. Also came with Weathertech liners, a hard bed cover, and a towing package installed. I paid $21,700. Then I proceeded to dump about $6k in it.

 

According to the dealer that I traded my '13 base RC at.....RC's are very much at a premium. With nearly zero negotiating they hit my truck $2K higher than what "very clean" Edmunds trade-in value was. The used car manager cited the great condition of my truck, but mainly the lack of available used RC's in the market...2 and 4 wheel drive. Even said the 5-speed really doesn't hurt the value.

Toyota killed the RC due to CAFE ratings...not lack of sales. Shorter wheel base trucks are required to get better MPG. Toyota gets around it on the Tundra by producing the RC on the same wheelbase as the other Tundras, but putting very long bed on it.
