PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

I have been considering one as well, so far I have only found Subaru offering 0% apr on a single left over 2018 wrx they had on the lot and on a bunch of the new 2019 outbacks they had available on the lot...

They are great cars, but I could do without the automatic braking features, in my eyes those features are just as dangerous as they are adding safety.

A Subaru is just about as safe as a vehicle could possibly be without any of those added electronic features in the first place.

 

I don't like those features cause I feel like the computers are driving the vehicles. Too much technology sucks.

 

Last week, one of my coworkers thought it would be funny to put a dealership sticker on my tailgate...

 

I hate dealership stickers, I prefer an emblem cause they're easier to remove.

 

wow this is really cruel...

 

That’s a big nope.

 

Those features keep your insurance cheaper and you can turn them off

 

I would go as far as to say, I bet charlies paid off taco pays a cheaper insurance premium than that new subaru would with the entire book of safety features thrown at it...

 

Oh yea for sure

 

It's personal preference. I like how my gas pedal feels like I'm controlling the vehicle, as supposed to the new computerized pedals, and steering wheels now a days.

 

The new Toyota pedals, and steering wheels feel like the Tokyo Drift arcade game at Chuck E. Cheese.

 

Almost every vehicle is like that now a days. So you better keep your truck in good working order

 

Yep, I like how my truck feels. I like @Jamesboy2233's truck better.

 

you do realize the 2008 tacoma gas pedal is drive by wire right??

 

He does now

 

I did know, which is why I say that cars are too electronic, and I say that a computer is driving the vehicle. I don't think mid 90's Tacomas were like that, so their gas pedals feel stiffer.

 

My gas pedal is electronic, yet pretty stiff.

 

Yea I miss my old 1979 pick up

 

My truck has 90,707 miles as of this post. It has a couple of dents and dings and has had some body work done, but the frame is good. Aside from a the left parking light being burned out, there is nothing wrong with my truck. My truck had over $3,000 worth of work done to it in 2018 (new front brakes in March, new rear brakes in June, and new evaporator core and expansion valve in August/September) I have a clear title in hand.

A few months ago, my truck was worth over $9,000. A couple of weeks ago, it was about $8,500. Now it's worth just a little over $8,000. I have always rounded up the mileage and typed it in correctly to the best of my ability. I'm thinking that part of this might be because I've got a 2WD and I live in Southeastern Pennsylvania, and the value could be fluctuating based on the season.

It makes absolutely no sense that my truck is worth several hundred dollars less with almost 91K miles on it than it was less than 90K on it. Just for grins, I looked up the value my truck with 100K a month or two ago, and it was worth $8,500. Will my truck be worth closer to $9,000 again when it warms up?!?!

 

It's worth what someone is willing to pay. That's it. Book value is an estimated value.
