Pic Heavy. Show us what you Traded in or Sold for your current Taco. All Gens!!

Sold these to fund my Jeep, then bought the Taco anyway after building the Jeep. Does that count?

'95 Volvo 940 turbo


'81 Kawasaki GPz1100-B1


The GPz only had ~24k miles on it, dyno'd 130rwhp. Factory fuel injected. Never should've sold it.

 

2012 Jeep Patriot....Everyone always trash talks them, but it was pretty tolerable with the 5 speed. I’d probably still have it if it hadn’t been for needing just a little more towing capacity.

 

I really wanted to love this. So much potential. So much went wrong though.

 

Traded a 2015 WRX limited for a 2015 TRDOR

 

Oh? I’ve actually got that on the list of possible future baby haulers.

 

Stay far away. Dealer warranty trip were literally a weekly occurrence. Horrible vehicle.

 

Were you Acurazine?

 

No

 

Traded in my 2007 Subaru STi for my 2014 Tacoma:



Definitely miss the speed at times.

 

I think that CJ would fit in my long bed

 

This

For this

 

I traded in my old F-150 for my 2015 Access cab 4x4.

 

Traded my old man truck 03 Silverado for my 14 SR5 4x4. No regrets. Only wish the Tacoma came with a larger bed

 

Traded in not only the worst vehicle purchase of my life but my first ever car.....Had it for about a year only, Ford Focus Electric....LMFWAO

 

Traded this:

I miss it, but it sucks compared to my Tacoma.

 

Haha. I had it through my high school years and I can agree with you, I beat the hell out of that thing and it still ran like a champ.

 

Oh man. I used to have a 2013 VW Jetta TDI. I bought it brand new and it had 18 miles on it when I took it for a test drive. I traded in my 2007 JCW Mini Cooper for the jetta (I miss both cars) and got $12k out of the mini. Well 3 years later and almost 50,000mi VW comes out with a huge diesel scandal and offered to buy all their diesels back. I decided to look into it. They offered me $22,306.xx I only paid $24K so I said "Hell yeah!" Thats when I found Trouble The Tacoma. I took my truck for a test drive and noted it's great value, then left the dealership to go test drive more trucks. Immediately I had a pit in my stomach and went back to purchase my truck. I wanted to get plates that said "TDIMNY" but I opted for "TRUBL3" instead. The attached photo of the jetta was after a long camping trip in Dallas right after a big Texas "snow." The mini was a lot of fun. I traded in the mini to get the jetta and the jetta to get the truck. Mini was a blast, surprisingly fast. I used to walk down more impressive cars with 100hp over me, I miss that car every day, It was just too expensive to maintain for a poor college kid when I had it. The jetta was in a league of its own. Peppy with the diesel, but also got 65mpg (which I still miss everyday). I wanted to take the $5k option from VW to keep the jetta and "fix" it, then re-tune it to be a coal rolling monster with 400+ftlb of torque... but I learned with the mini that you can't really have a race car and a daily car be the same car unless it's a Porsche.

Oh well... I love the truck and the stability it gives me. I love I can fit all my friends "comfortably" and go camping with the Mrs and the dog and not worry about getting stuck or it getting scratched or dirty. Plus I had the option to "buy up" and get something that will hold its value over time so I did. One day I'll get another race car... one day.

 

4runner was in the family for a long time but the transmission crapping the bed and recently buying a house and it was time for an upgrade

 

Would you mind sharing a few examples of the problems you had with this Jeep?
