Looking to buy a Gen 3 Tacoma in California

Hello All,

I am looking to buy a Gen 3 4x4 Tacoma, years ranging from 2017 to 2020. Not looking for something built out. Will be a daily driver and weekend light offroad/camping fun. Prefer Sr 5 and above trim level.


Willing to go to a nearby state even but not interested in going cross country to pick up the vehicle. Feel free to drop me a link if you have one.

Thanks!

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Thanks for the welcome! A friend of mine steered to this site and the people on here are the most knowledgable and friendly group of Taco owners

 

Ended up with a good deal on a 2021 TRD Off Road

 

Hello there! I'm looking to buy as well. May I ask what you paid so I can gauge my success?

 

Also curious too.

 

My local dealer offered me $37K in San Diego which I thought was low. I paid $42k 3 years ago.

 

Kelly Blue Book says trade-in for excellent vehicle is $45k.

 

You can use cars dot com to do searches on the exact trim that you want and set the distance to as far as you're willing to go. I found my 2021 on there in Temecula. I was searching from Santa Barbara to San Diego.

 

I'm actually looking to sell a 2019 and buy a 2008ish.

 

Yeah to be honest the used market is not in favor of the buyer at the moment, I’d probably buy new unless you can find a good private sale.

 

Thanks for the cars.com advice. What I'm also trying to figure out is if the rumors of sky-high supply chain prices is true.

 

The only prices I am finding are $3-$8 over ORIGINAL sticker price for vehicles 3-5 years old. It's hard to believe that could be proper.

 

I meant to say $3000-$8000.

 

Smart man. I would have steered you away from the Sport. Still not sure what makes it a TRD???????
