Tacoma Stalking, er...uh, Spotting, with Charlie™ (3rd Gen Edition)!

Not mine; I ain't paying almost forty grand for a used vehicle with almost 50K on the clock! I do like it though!

 

Read above; I just like the way it looks...

 

Man, that was someone's baby. So much customization.

I wonder what the dealership gave them for it.

 

Coulda been a wholesale that didn't qualify for Toyota CPO because of the mods...

 

Good call, i was just being supportive, its my new thing this year. Lol

Looks what I found at a VW dealer of all places!

 

It does make me smile to see the advertised price greater than I paid for my 2016. I initially felt I did not get a super good deal buying a 2016 Tacoma in 2015 with the initial buying frenzy of a new generation.

 

Someone traded it in for a VW. I see all those mods and my first thought is; stay well clear.

 

I've done a few things to my truck, like a mild lift kit and a stereo system, but I pretty much oversaw what I didn't do myself and know it was done right; I'd prefer a stock truck so I can do what I want and know it was done right!

 

Sticker on my 2010 was like $17K; Dad got it for about $14,900...

Over 12 years later with well North of 140K on the clock, it's worth about $12K!

 

And that’s exactly it. I would never want to inherit someone else's butchered idea of what a vehicle should be.
Unless they’re things I would have done and I have documented history of what was done, or I know who put what on the vehicle, I’m hard passing on it.
You’re basically buying a grenade with the pin already pulled out for you.

 

My Tacoma's modifications are very well-documented here on TW, and my mechanic can print any of the receipts I don't have on record!

 

@shakerhood

Did you see this rig?

 

Crazy how much they are asking for it, inflation is really getting out of hand here lately.

 

You could probably get more than double what you paid for your house if you were to sell it!

 

I think that too, especially with the improvements l have been making.

 

Never heard this one before

 

What’s wrong with the TRD sport?

 

TRD Off-Road comes with a rear diff locker and cooler looking factory wheels; Would still buy a TRD Sport if the price was right, which it clearly is not in this case...

 

This is a bad time to buy used. My 2022 wasn’t much more (maybe $2,000 I don’t remember). I think you could buy a 2022 TRD Sport Access Cab with a manual for $36,000 ish new.


Yeah I wasn’t wrong
