How far would you drive...

To pick up method nvs and wild peaks for a good deal?
It's a little under 5 hours and I'm feeling kind of crazy... But am I?...

What's the furthest you've driven to buy something off another Taco owner?

 

How much are you saving?

 

Only 10 mins for me. Sorry I dont have a bigger number.
That being said, I would do a 5 hour drive for something hard to find and a great deal.

 

I drove to Indiana from Maryland once to buy a racing kart for a good deal, and also flew to Florida, rented a truck, and drove another kart home once for another good deal. As long as the drive time and fuel costs pencils out to still be a good deal, why not?

 

You'll spend about 100 bucks in gas for the trip, then food and of course.... how much is your time worth?

 

If you’re saving 4-500, then yeah I would. But if you’d spend nearly all the “savings” on gas and what not then no

 

1 year old set for 900$. OK maybe I won't lol. That being said this guy is in Fayetteville nc for those who might be interested

 

Offer him 800 and then go get them.
200 for tires used
600 is fair for the used wheels.

 

If you’re thinking about a weekend trip, sightseeing. Maybe.

 

I rarely buy used shit anymore. I know it sounds elite, but too many people claim stuff is mint when it's really fucked. I once bought a set of rare BBS RS 16x7" wheels in 4x100 that were described as mint, but were also sorts of fucked. Complete, but fucked. The outer lips were lightly bent, looked nice and it showed up on balancer. I got lucky because I only paid $400 for them. I punted them down the road for $1200 with defects disclosed.

 

I agree man after thinking about it, it's probably not a good idea

 

that sounds like you made out pretty ok lol up $800 in the end I’d be happy

 

I'd drive a few hours if the deal were good but Tacometer19 definitely has a good point. If it were someone on here that you could trust, that would probably be different.

 

I've bought more than my fair share of bent aftermarket wheels. Some I knew they were bent, but didn't know bad until I sent them out for repair

 

Nah dude Falkens are cheap, get a new set. You're talking 5 hours one way???

Shit man that's a whole day. My time is more valuable than that.

 

I used the money towards new Alpina 16" for my then BMW E30.

 

I drove from Indiana to DC to save $1400 on a truck shell. Took my son, ate BBQ, visited the National Mall, and had a college visit at U of Maryland. It was a fun 36 hours.

 

I’ve driven a little over 5 hours for a set of twins I hadn’t seen in person over 15 years. Granted I stayed three nights... f-ing worth it.

truck stuff, if you make a day or weekend of it. Really not a problem. Just let the good times roll brother

 

Can't replace memories like that. Truck stuff you'll always be able to find

 

I have never bought something from another Tacoma owner, but tomorrow I am driving a little over 200 miles each way to pick up a gun I bought last December. Silencerco Maxim 9.
