Thinking of buying a TACO 2003, but too much $$?

Hello, im thinking of buying a 03 tacoma Dbl Cab, 4wd, TRD. 50k miles, the price is $19,000.

This is my issue, your opinion is appreciated in advance,..

Im a college senior, i currently have a 2009 silverado ltz crew cab, i bought it new - i dropped 12k down, and if i trade in right now i can get $6k in positive equity towards the tacoma..

my dilemma is wether or not to do it, i would like to initially owe less on a vehicle (03 taco debt, around $12) currently i owe $19k on 09 silverado...

should i just keep my "new" truck and ride it out, or should i go for the 6 year older tacoma...

thanks.

 

that's pretty expensive...i'm guessing it's at a dealer? or privately owned?


there must be other options for tacoma's in your area

 

too much cash

 

yeah thats too expensive.

 

its a dealership. what would be a "good" price for that vehicle.

 

talk them down.i would kill for a mint 1st gen d/c. 1st gens are way better than 2nd gen.

 

yeah, i'd only trade my current truck for a 1st gen... best body style imo

 

best style and quality.i owned both and pre taco toyotas and hands down 1st gen rock.what is kbb price on that truck??? talk the dealer down and do it.

 

wouldn't go over 14k personally

 

I threw down $20k (pre tax) on an '04 double cab with 34k miles and my dumbass financed the whole thing. Why? Because my daily driver was about to drop it's tranny and I didn't have the money to fix it and fuck it, I wanted the Taco.

Stupid? Yeah.

But I'd do it again ('cept have more cash down).

 

that price will never happen. $16k is a fair price

 

Does it have an extended warranty from factory? the 36K is up for the standard, if it has an extended warranty that the original owner had or a Toyota certified Used car warranty from the dealer Id feel more confident on the purchase

 

FWIW, bought my loaded 06 trd off road with same (55k) miles for $17k

i bought my '03 double cab 4wd trd for 13,300 with 119,xxx miles in excellent condition (barely any frame rust!) two months ago and now have the best truck ever created!!

 

every market is different. some markets first gens are rare to come by and therefore worth more. others, there alot of them and they are priced lower.

ps. already tired of the chevy?

 

hey man . i think we might could work somthin out. that is really expensive for a taco of that year. i dont care if it is still in the show room. now i have a truck in your price range that you would like. and you have a truck that i would like. so idk if your still trying to do something trade or wat ever. but lemmie kno if you are. i might be intrested...
