The Lair

I love my truck for the simplicity of it. All the electronic nannies and do dads are just expensive things that eventually stop working anyway.

The luxury (Creature comforts) it was missing from the factory are readily available and affordable on the aftermarket.

 

yes I spoke with him several times and never had a problem as long as you overlooked his spelling and grammar and didn't harrass him

 

I mean look at what a fully equipped Taco costs now...

I paid sub $30k for my fully "loaded" Offroad...now the same truck in a 3rd Gen with all those do dads are pushing $40K...NO THANKS!!!

 

ALL trucks are over priced

 

You aren't kidding!

I don't know how I am going to be able to afford to replace either of my vehicles when the time comes.

 

Yeah, the shop is definitely taking care of the work so that's good. It's just an inconvenience at this point as I really don't need the truck today. But my fishing trip is coming up and gotta start packing tomorrow.

It's amazing how sometimes little things like an o ring can ruin the day.

 

newer used and still pay out the ass. I paid 24k for my '13 ac 4wd at 2.7l with 38,000 miles Dec.'15 which is probably about what it cost new it was bone stock sr5

 

@inesshell have any experience with Canon PowerShot SX610 ?

 

i paid 22,800 for my 2010 OR v6 with 35k miles . I think I got an awesome deal.

 

just from reading about it, i wouldnt waste my money. your iphone will produce better photos.

 

Buy gently used vehicles has been our motto for the past 15 years. It's worked out just fine for us.

 

I bought my truck brand new...but, we bought our Camry slightly used. It was the dealerships manager's wife's demo car. Had 25k miles on it and was about a year and a half old. It has been a great car!

 

Topic @ hand?

 

Cars new vs used?

 

The ruggedness of our simple trucks and the poor rating the 3rd gen got. Expense of new vehicles, and savings of buying slightly used.

EDIT: OH and cameras!

 

I stumbled into my 2nd Gen sight unseen without ever owning a Toyota before. She was very very very rough but the price for the miles, years and a DCLB was a huge convincing factor. My wife says its "plastic-y" but I love the damn thing.

 

I mean I paid 26k for a 2014 sr5 prerunner with 50k miles on it back in September of last year. No trade in or anything down. The price stays so damn high because people want them and will pay for them.

 

now have her go sit in a Colorado.. the Taco feels much more durable (at least to me)

 

That is what I had before. I was driving a 2007 Chevy Colorado z71 DCSB It was my daily driver before I got into the Taco
