DeMello Tacoma possibly selling

We are considering selling our current 2016 Tacoma so that we can get ready for the next refresh of the front end in a couple years and most likely move to the 6 speed manual. Testing the waters to see realistically what someone would pay for a well built vehicle. Sorry no part out it will be as complete as shown in the pictures. We are just trying to gauge interest in it now and see if anyone would be interested in a ready to go well built rig.

Model: Tacoma double trd v6 fully loaded with TRD off road package, sunroof, upgraded JBL sound system.

Mileage: is low and most of it is being flat towed to events.

Aftermarket:

Icon Stage 7 with s 2 system
Icon 17in wheels with 35in tall tires (currently has milestar but may sell with more well known brand)
Demello front bumper
custom bed rack and cage with pro eagle jack fire extinguisher, tred treds, shovel, CVT tent
Smitty built winch
Baja designs 4 XL80 pro lights on bumper
baja designs 2 amber pro's in bumper
baja designs 40in light bar on roof
baja designs 2 in back up lights
DeMello dominator sliders
budbuilt full skids
4:88 gear swap front and rear.
Spod wired up for all the lights to digital display
Yellow top battery.
Custom katskin leather seats with logo's in backs.
DB custom grill with baja designs light in it.
Custom mounted gas cans to bed.
CB cobra with wilson 1000
10lb co2 tank with gauge.

before we sell it, the wrap would be removed, as with all the vehicles we sell, we do a complete inspection, replace any parts that are warn, rebuild any thing that needs it and a good cleaning. We don't like anything that had our name on it to come back complaining. We are just testing the waters to see if we should sell it now or hand onto it for a little longer.

it's white and this was a wrap on the truck. the wheels are now Icon's as well.

Looks sweet! How much is a ball park?

 

dont ads need a price?

 

I need that roof rack!

 

1.00 OBO It's not an add. I posted in the 3rd gen section so I wouldn't get dinged for that

 

I don't have a price in mind, more the better but anything over 40k I would consider.

I'll give you a bag of hot cheetos (big one of course) for it, and a little cash from your end. My loss your gain.

 

Tempting...
Are they they big puffs or the little puffs?

 

Like how you don’t expect 75k like other people who try and sell their trucks you have a realistic number in mind and as well built as the truck is you should see it. GLWS

 

We often sell our built rigs and sometimes people think we are high sometimes people think we are low. It really takes the right person to appreciate the work done. Everyone that has ever bought one of our vehicles has come to us with the understanding they are getting a complete package for much cheaper than they could ever build it and understand that value. Most people like to build their own because they can space out their purchases. I can honestly say if I was to buy a vehicle with the intentions of using it I would buy one done properly and then add my own touches it just makes more economical sense.

 

But hey if you wanna give me 75k I'll take it

 

I have a friend who always says why spend all the money and time building it yourself when you can buy some else's dream for a lot less. Or in your case a properly built truck for a lot less.

 

Playing devils advocate you can get burned that way as well. We have a lot of people bring us their "craigslist finds" for us to check out for them. I always tell people be careful of dealership "show cars" those are the ones bought at auction by the dealer because they look cool. You have to ask your self how did they end up at auction, most likely it was a trade in? Why would someone ever trade in a perfectly built rig, the dealer will only give you what blue book is. Usually it's because it has some hidden trama.
I can't tell you how many times people have brought us trucks on 4-6in drop bracket kit lifts that they bought from a dealer super excited about it till they take it off road or drive it for a week. Off road they say it's super top heavy and on road they can't get it to align. Before I even see it I tell them most likely your front end is bent. 9 times out of 10 it is! Those kits arent made for off road really and can easily bend.

BUT we have a lot of people contact us with their builds and a lot of people we follow so those are the trucks i refer to friends of the shop because I know the history of the vehicle.

 

This is a hell of a deal. It will not last long. Can't wait to see what you bring to the next Lonestar Jamboree

GLWS!

 

That is great deal.

 

i would have bought that in a heartbeat if it was for sale when i bought my pro sweet truck let me know if it doesn't sell maybe we can work out a deal id pay 40 k plus

 

Does this mean you're building another Tundra, @JDEMELLO!?
