Hi There!!!!

Greeting from New Jersey. Just bought myself a 2007 Tacoma Double Cab TRD Offroad with Tow package yesterday. I traded in a 05 Chevy Trailblazer. It's my first Toyota. I loved the TB, but I was getting tired of the poor build quality biting me in the ass (been to the shop 4 times in the past 2 months). The door panels rattled constantly, the dashboard made a buzzing sound, the weather-stripping was coming off, and the check engine light came on a few days ago. I took a hit on the trade in, but I'm hoping I'll have much better luck with the Tacoma

 

Hahaha, you are a bloody traitor . However, you have done the intelligent thing. When the Big 3 seeks bankruptcy protection, you will know why . Welcome aboard to TW. You’ll learn a few more things from our members. Have fun and Eat Steak.

 

Thanks, I do feel guilty...lol I grew up in a family of GM lovers. But of course I rather buy the best car for the money.

 

Dude, its your hard earned money and you have finally made a decision in your best interest that will serve you well for years and still pay you back on resale value. Cheers

 

Yes, welcome to the forum. I too traded in a Chevy for my Toyota, but under different circumstances. Good luck. Jim

 

Best purchase you'd ever made good job :0) welcome to TW.

 

Thanks for all the welcomes. I belonged to a Traiblazer forum similiar to this. It was a lot more busy, but maybe that's becasue people in general were having a lot more problems with their Chevy's than us with our Toyotas....lol. Anyway I'm happy to be here, looking forward to chatting with you all.

 

American vehicles are not reliable long term that's why every 6 to seven months they have a new vehicle in the lot. japanese vehicles have a high standard so the next time you see a new vehicle of toyota it's about 5 to 7 years. they are designed and built for your benefit save money and to protect their reputation. i know i grew up in the toyota brand.

 

Welcome to TW!!
We also traded in a chevy (Silverado) for our Tacoma.. that makes 3 of us!

 

Welcome to the forums. I traded a GMC Jimmy (POS) for a Tacoma.

 

I agree on the Jimmy. My parents had one and it was the most unreliable rig they ever owned.

 

best money u ever spend. welcome 2 the team.

 

hi stevistyle

where did you get urs at? How much was it? are u financing it? was the toyota dealer good to you? most of them cynical assholes! especially they advertise the price on a paper or tv or in the dealer and you go and ask about it! it was bunch of BS!!! Waste my f-ing times!!

did u test driver the nissan too before the toyota?

I'm going to get the truck sooner or later!

 

linkfeeney,

I bought mine from Lawrenceville Toyota, I think I got a good deal overall. The truck stickered at 30,179, and I paid 28,253. They also took they gave me $15k for my Trailblazer. The staff there seemed pretty good. They had the most Tacoma's on the lot, and were willing to negotiate. Check out Edmunds.com I got the truck around invoice. My truck is Silver with Doublecab, 4x4, TRD Offroad, 6 disc CD player, and Tow package. Not sure where you're at, but if you're in NJ, Toyoata of Lawrenceville is worth checking out. Located near Trenton.
