Selling Used Taco as New?

This is wholly inaccurate. I'll tell you how I know. I've been through the San Antonio plant and despite your claim, the vast majority of Tacomas that come off that line are automatics. Not much of a surprise when the ratio of auto to manuals is very high...

 

Both my auto double cabs came from texas

 

my 2016 dclb v6 was builtin mexico

 

What dealer in Ohio?

 

Too much going on to be accused of being slander at this point. After investigations are complete and if guilt is found, I will divulge for sure, and in many many ways.

 

I would be very interested to find out which dealer in Central Ohio as well. I live just east of Columbus and have been very picky about what dealers I have chosen to deal with the last few years. Would you share in a PM? I obviously have skin in the game so I can make good recommendations and for piece of mind.

 

Every vehicle has an MCO. My 18 Pro built in San Antonio, TX that I bought in Utah had and MCO, and I couldn't register it in New Mexico until the state of Utah sent it to my DMV. Its the trucks "birth certificate" as they called it.

 

no new vehicle should have more than single digit miles on it otherwise they are pulling some fuckery on you for sure

 

WOW We Opened a MF Hornets nest here So before Posting Further Comment go back and READ everything including the Part where I said I did not look at other Models outside the 2018 Double Cab and ALL the F Vin numbers that I did Run except 1 came back made in Mexico (Baja plant) and that was over the time frame of 5 month and not that I give a flying F about where it was made that is Just what showed Up over and over! So OK what the .... do you want me to say? my bad I posted an observation and some butt faces even PMed me with buckets load of insults Great nice to know that some are so sensitive and get butt hurt so easy rather than being constructive and saying "hey know what mine was made in USA and this it what it is"

 

Agree however sometimes a dealer might "pull" make trade with another dealer for one that is in inventory and it might just get driven to that Dealer.

 

I surely hope people dont spend that much time running vins to find out where they are built, hopefully that was just something seen when looking for other things... Starts with a 5 Texas, 3 Mexico.

 

@btaco623

Read the below for a little more info. Sounds more like a paperwork snafu, with the 300 miles coming from test drives maybe or a dealership swap where they drove it between?

Most likely, a mix up with VINs by a salesperson. Yours was titled, but not delivered. Title was retracted and correct VIN applied. It happens.

 

As a Central Ohio Resident who goes to a local dealer, I wouldn't mind a hypothetical dealer to avoid. Hypothetically speaking of course. Or you can PM it to me.

 

Ever heard of test drives?

 

Mine had 100 miles on it they gave me $3000 off, hope they didn’t pull some dukes of hazard shit at the dealer

 

Idk how dealerships operate over there but over here they have designated vehicles in each trim to be used for test drives. When you decide on a new vehicle and put your order in - new vehicle comes from the storage location with only on-the-lot mileage. Vehicles used for test drives that rack up anywhere from 100 to 500 miles typically get sold as such and they offer discounts for it.

Again, its probably up to the dealership but selling a testdrive vehicle as "new" seems fucked.

 

No chance I’m not test driving the ACTUAL truck I’m buying before I hand over 30k+.

 

That's different than picking up your truck with plenty of miles ALREADY on the vehicle.

 

What? I didn’t say anything about that. All I know is I’m test driving the actual truck I’m looking to buy. Not some dealer assigned test mule which I’ve never heard of.
