Guy in ABQ wants to trade Tacomas...???

He has this:
2005 Toyota TRD Tacoma Prerunner with 29,500 Miles Like Brand New. I am the 2nd owner and Purchased the Truck with 4800 Miles.
4.0 VVT V6 ENGINE, 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, TRD PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDES REAR LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL, POWER OUTLET IN BED FOR TOOLS,
TRAILOR TOWING PACKAGE WITH CLASS 3 HITCH AND ELECTRICAL PLUG, OVERSIZED WHEELS AND TIRES, WHEELS ARE 17,S AND ARE TOYOTA FACTORY HIGH POLISHED ALUMINIUM ALLOYS, TIRES ARE BFG,S ALL TERRAINS WITH 90% TREAD LIFE LEFT.
POWER WINDOWS, POWER LOCKS, POWER MIRRORS, CRUISE CONTROL, COMPASS AND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GAGE IN OVERHEAD CONSOLE
AM/FM CD PLAYER, TINTED WINDOWS, BEDLINER, AND TRD FLOOR MATS!
THIS TRUCK IS LIKE BRAND NEW AND THE MOTOR HAS NOT EVEN BEEN BROKEN IN YET!
CLEAN CAR FAX AND TITLE



He wants to trade straight up for my 2006 DC SR5 Prerunner Auto Desert Sand Mica. It has 49.7k, tow, all power options. Not TRD. I really like the DC and auto, but love the miles, longer bed and TRD off road locking rear...I am torn as to which to decide on. I am looking for the truck to keep for a long, long time. BTW, I have no kids, just two small dogs. The DC is really nice, but at least the AC has rear doors...help me decide!!

 

If I didnt have Kiddos to worry about i would have gone with an access cab. I dont like the short bed...Thus I ended up with a DC LB. I was able to get the trd package by getting a used truck, and saved @ 8g's. (depreciation) besides 2007 is plenty new (to me.... my other Toy is a '91 beater!!)
So that other truck sounds like a deal except.... no 4wd just doesnt make sense to me..especially in NM... (but i Dont live in 'Burque) Like the manual tranny, TRD OR, White,low mileage,tires tint, floormats...
but you got to wonder about someone trying to ditch their truck... Poco shady...He must really want a DC.!?

 

I looked up both values on Kelly Blue Book and your truck is worth twice as much?!? Those DC really hold their value. Good luck.

I looked up your links...you put in 295,000 miles for the 05, not 29,500. That's why the difference...plus, mine is not a 4wd, it's a Prerunner also.

 

I mean why not....if it fits your needs then get it....make sure you get a mechanic to check it out before though

 

yea bring it to toyota for a FULL inspection, if all is well, giver shit!

 

edit: this is so confusing. i quit

 

uhmmm....NO. You have auto he has manual. What if he needs a new clutch ? what if the tranny is slipping ?

 

So that's your truck? It sounds nice. curious why you want to trade? cab space is a strong argument... I definitely was in that boat... er ...truck..

 

I didn't really want to trade initially...this just came up out of the blue when the other guy wanted a DC and had his for sale...

I've pretty much decided that the DC and auto are definitely worth keeping. The TRD and low miles on the 05 are nice, but I got the auto and DC because I wanted them specifically, and don't really want to give them up. I don't really off-road my Tacoma, so it's limited slip differential is plenty for what I use it for. Thanks for all the responses.

NewMexiTaco, you are absolutely dead on...cab space at this point in life is definitely a strong argument.

If I want to off-road, that's what my Jeep Rubicon is for.

Why would he trade you for his? This just has scam written all over it!
