Poor tacoma resell value?

Exactly sure that money could have been better spent but I’m not being totally irresponsible and I work hard and do with how I choose. The financial pitchfork expert crowd here sometimes, just knew it was coming. I’ve seen people blow $10k easy on mods here (some even saying on the credit card) they will use maybe once to go camping, don’t see me saying anything about how that could have been better spent / they’re so irresponsible, etc.

 

I say fuck it. We all could die tomorrow

 

amen brother

 

I have never seen so much financial “advice” on a car enthusiast forum as TW.

 

As long as it doesn’t stray into politics we’re good Greta

 

Lol, right why the fuck do you come on a truck enthusiast form and tell people to not spend their money on truck stuff. Isn't there a form for that?

Dense people

 

Wow!!!

 

I shopped my Tacoma to multiple dealers. It was "what would you give me for my vehicle, if you would buy my vehicle, if I just walk off of your lot after selling it and don't buy another vehicle." Here were my offers:

Toyota dealership 1: $28,000
Toyota dealership 2: $30,000
Subaru dealership: $31,000
BMW dealership: $31,750
Audi dealership: $32,000
MB dealership: $33,000

If I only went to my local Toyota dealerships, then I'd be wondering the same thing.

 

that 33 is pretty good

toyota will low ball you because they know youre looking to trade it

 

30k miles on my 18 dcsb off-road 4x4.

Carmax offered $30,500.

 

Well I got $10k off the Camaro MSRP (new Dusk Edition) and $8500 off the Tacoma ($34k out the door). I'm well ahead of the resale value already and I work from home so it will be a very low mileage truck.

 

Can someone tell me why everyone on TacomaWorld is Dave Ramsey?

I for one, and I assume others do not care about your possessions and/or retirement accounts.

 

Most of us aren’t but there’s a few that always show up to tell everyone how to spend their money and why they’re smarter. I’m willing to bet those that remain quiet are far better off than the ones who feel the need to prove their financial prowless.

 

Well said.

Either that or their job sucks, wife is cheating on them, and the only sense of validation they get is by puking their bank account balance(s) all over the Internet.

scammers know a days are no joke. I wouldn’t be flashing that shit to anyone, let alone a public forum.

 

Yet another way to engage in the old dick measuring contest

 

I’m not saying your didn’t but $8500 off is probably the best deal I’ve ever seen that’s way over the 10-12% of MSRP. Nice score.

 

Buy gold

 

You could have got $20k off that Camaro and still be behind the 8 ball. Kiddos on the Tacoma though

 

It’s not buying it’s investing

 

Took me a month of negotiating with 6 different dealers. The old "beat this deal". I was going to buy used but it was $24,500 for a 2012 with 100k miles. He told me, if I were you I'd buy new.
