Been Lurking... Have not Bought yet.

Hi Guys I am from southern oregon and have moderated numerous sites before. I hae enjoyed searching the posts and have been looking for the right vehicle for me.

I think i have found a 05 TDR Sport 4x4 access 6sp. Silver

I will let you know if i buy it.

Selling my Custom 67 Chevy Truck because i found out my wife is pregnant and we need a baby seat anchor In My vehicle. I have to get rid of my daily driver Chevy.... ut i am rather excited to get a tacoma.

anything to watch out for????

 

Welcome!!

Compare prices of the used ones versus the new ones.

Sometimes you can bargain to get a new truck for not much more than the used ones are going for.

 

Thanks

I am getting an 05 with 43K miles TRD Sport Sr5 v6 4x4 .. 6sp delivered to my house from 6 hours away with custom wheels and 33" Tires with 3" lift. for 19K

Which in my area is a great deal.... People seem to be getting retail or more for these here.

 

does the acess cab have enough room for a baby seat

 

You might want to reconsider, a couple of my friends found themselves in the same predicament, bought access cabs and two years later wished they had bought the four doors. Pony up, take the extra hit and never look back.

 

Yeah, that's what I was about to say. The access cab with a baby seat will be good for 4 years at the most. Consider how long you want to hold on to this. I got a double cab to be able to cart the kids around.

I had also looked around at used tacomas and it seemed a two year old with average mileage was only about 2-3K less than new. I went in and got a deal on an 07 that had been sitting on the lot too long. Johnson's deal is much better than any used I could find. I'm really impressed at how well tacos hold their value.

 

If you have Kids or more than two friends you will definitely want to go with the Crew Cab.

 

I have never owned a vehicle longer than 3 years in my life.. 26years old now and i have owned
13 vehicles and 2 streetbikes thus far...
someone has to keep the auto industry alive... (maybe one day prices will go down will all the $$ i am giving them)

 

Well, in that case, you should probably go for the access cab. Different strokes for different folks. I'm 37 and have had 6 vehicles. This Taco is the first one I bought new.

 

i'll post pics when I get it... If everything works out I will be receiving it Monday or Tuesday night.

 

got the truck have not had time to take pictures..
waiting on the weather to stop raining....

hey i have at least 2 friends but my accesscab is great, i dont have to drive anybody around lol...one at a time, unless you wanna hop in the bed and try to hang on and not freeze. plus i just got a new sticker that will replace my loch ness monster one on my back window, here it is lol (dont mind the top half being an advertisement, i did buy this off of ebay!)

 

not to brag but i may be on track to pass you by. i started driving when i was almost 18, i'm 21 now, so almost exactly 4 years has gone by. so far i'm at ..i have to list them hang on...(watch the way the quality of the cars progress as i get better jobs lol).. 89 escort, 91 escort gt, 94 talon, 98 cavalier, 2003 WRX, 96 cobra (still miss it), 95 dakota (got it for 2k, cobra burnt up so i needed something quick), and then my 07 tacoma now. so 8 vehicles so far, and only one street bike but i did have an 06 quad too that i sold earlier this year...by the time i hit 26 i shouldve owned about 20 vehicles at this rate longest i've ever had a car was exactly one year, down to the day and hour

 

I held on to my last truck for 14 years, I've only been married once; 15 damn good years, and I have a pair of hiking boots that are 25 yrs old.
