    Lol it’s extremely old. I could get s decent chunk of money out of this but you guys are saying save money and use it for a while. I know I could get another 100k at least out of it but that’s the thing idk if I want to when I could make 8k

    WOW! Your father gave you a safe, reliable vehicle and all you can see is the dollars you can get for it?

    All further opinions on what kind of person you are, have been deleted.

    I challenge you to make a video. Tell your father you want to sell the Tacoma and buy a lowered Honda Civic with ground effects, 18" wheels, big gay wing, racing seats, flat black rattle can paint, and a fart can. I wanna see his reaction.

    The best financial move would be to keep it. Learn how to repair vehicles using it. Insurance is cheap. If it's been taken care of you'll get many more miles with few dollars spent.
