when it comes to trucks keeping their value

would u agree that the tacoma is one of the best? and if not who is? back in may i bought my 05 and i got it for 17995...i saw the extact same thing but grey and with a short bed, that was going for 25000

 

Around here the Tacoma holds it's value like crazy!
the prices for the 09's are insane, someone posted up a pic of the price of an 09 access cab...over $31000

picked up my 06 doublecab for $22995

 

tell me about it...i like it though my aunt has a navigator got it in 03 spent over 60...in 06 it was worth half the price...i dont want that when buying a car

 

According to KBB, the retail value of mine has only dropped $1K below what I paid a year ago. That's not bad.

 

word...some trucks lose more than that driving off of the lot right?

 

Paid $23,000 in May of 05 for mine, ran the numbers on Edmunds & it is worth around $17,500. Not bad for a 3 year old truck with 88,000 miles.

2005 Toyota Tacoma

 

There's a reason I bought new - the used ones are either completely abused, overpriced (one guy with a '07 wanted to sell his for '08 MSRP), or sold before it hits the classifieds. It used to be a rule that if you had the SR5 badge, you'd get 10 serious offers before lunch.

 

^^^ I was on the same situation, i was looking for used, first i only saw a couple selling, and they where about 86% the cost of the new one, adding that interest rate on used cars is higher than the one on new ones i would've ended paying almost the same for a used one..... no thanks....

 

word thats what i mean...ive seen 05-06 going for 23 - 25000...so in 3 years it has dropped 5 - 7 grand...thats good compared to a navigator losing half the price in 3 years

 

I know someone who just took a $25,000 hit on a '07 Nissan Armada for trade in.

 

Word.

 

Yikes!

ANAGRAM for: NISSAN ARMADA becomes... DARN ! I AM AN ASS

NISSAN MURANO becomes... ANUS IN RANSOM

 

You just cant beat the Tacoma's when it comes to resale value. When my 99 was "re-purchased" by Toyota, I couldn't find a decent used one anywhere. Thank God for the Internet. The used ones are going like wildfire, since all us rust guys are buying Tacos again

 

SWEEt!!! NICE TO BE BACK IN A TACO!!

 

FWIW, my 02' with 125k in fair shape is still worth 1/2 what is was new.

 

i remember looking for tacos before i got one and i was seeing 04's for 20 thousand in 2007 i was like damn man haha im SOL the day i got my truck we were up north looking for a new jeep for my mom and i saw the tacoma and we got that haha

 

From what I've seen, the Tacoma's hold their value very well. My last car was an '06 Audi A3. I bought it in '06 for 31k, put 33k miles on it, and sold it in May of '08 for 18k. OUCH!

 

yeah audis suck too no offense..ford...lincoln...mercedez

 

According to KBB or somebody like that the Taco is like #4 for best in holding its value. #1 is the mini cooper and #2 is the Jeep Wrangler.
