Used 4G sale

Seems as though there are already a lot of used 4G for sale. Not accustomed to this kind of behavior from Tacoma owners. Tacoma crowd has always purchased with the intent of keeping their truck forever. Seems they're more used 4G for sale than any of the other older Gens.

 

My guess is most of them were leased. They had a really good lease deal when they first came out. Probably to get them out on the road and seen. I like mine...

 

Little too early for lease returns. Maybe repossessions because couldn't make payments?

 

Rental rockets

 

Maybe they ran out of funds and lost their job. Lots of people losing jobs these days.

 

Overhyped ads … purchased then realized it wasn’t the truck for them .

 

Many are leases from internal at the dealer.

The manager will drive it 3000miles and "trade it in"

Seeing new vehicles on lots sold as used is nothing new.

 

I believe the answers are simple. Even in its first year of new generation and reduced sales, Tacoma sales clobbered all the mid-sized competitors - there are just far more of them. Auto loan defaults are back at historical highs. Lots of people are fools if not stooges, and with pickups and performance cars buying stuff they can't really afford.

 

That would likely still be sold as new because it is a demo and never titled.

 

Depends, we have different rules up here, we will actually safety new cars and treat them like used. My dealer used to sell demos but they have changed how they treat the short return units. I havent seen a demo since 2019 sold with miles and treated as new.

 

There’s always exceptions, but if it hasn’t been titled then you are the first owner. That was my case, 1700 miles and driven as demo at the dealership. New title in my name with no previous owners.

 

Yes but a driven truck is "used" regardless.

 

I'm always suspicious of a new vehicle that is given up on that quickly.

 

Meh...you can look for any mass produced vehicle and find the dame scenario, not everyone is an enthusiast, and sometimes you just don't get a long with a new vehicle for one reason or another.

Or maybe these are people that didn't want to deal with issues in their trucks? Not everybody has the patience to deal with a rattle or possible component issue etc. They just trade or sell. Some were probably repossessed, some were are probably instagram hero review trucks..etc...

I don't see anything alarming.

 

There were some early 4th Gen buyers that paid dealer markup. If they are now seeing several thousand off MSRP, they may be trying to get out of their loan before it gets too upside down.

 

Demos are always driven hard, not warmed up properly imo.
Short trips, many.

 

Ha! Now that’s funny. Have you ever seen a new vehicle with zero on the odometer? So now all trucks are used, got it.

I think everyone understands that used means someone owned it before. In my case no one had = new.

 

Jeez you come in here to dispute this.

I obviously mean driven lease returns, so more than 100miles.

Find something else to do with your energy.

 

Maybe. But if the Toyota executive that had mine was a dick to this truck I think you’d see it in the condition too and it is indistinguishable from fresh of the transporter. I feel lucky to have found a demo because I negotiated them down and didn’t have to wait six to eight months. You also can go into the settings and see how the truck was driven indicated by historical gas mileage.

 

You ever stop to think I just came in here to dispute you? Just kidding, but say what you mean so you don’t have change what you said.
