Looking to purchase 1st Tacoma

Looking for a 2006-200? Indigo Ink Pearl TRD sport with longbed and tow package. (will substitute TRD off road shortbed if available).

I know these are rare but I figured just maybe someone has decided to move on to something else and has one of these they wouldn't mind selling. Worth a shot as I'm sick of dealing with scumbag dealers in the Houston area.

Roughly looking for less than 60k miles.

Tks-

 

Did ya try autotrader.com? Or yahoo autos?

 

Salesmen suck.

 

I found my 95 with 83,000 miles, it's not impossible you just hav to search

 

Yea buddy, I've been scouring AT, Cars.com, Craigslist, etc. for quite a while now. The search continues.......

 

Lol, that's great! I'm sure there are some good guys out there but so far I haven't met any. I got a small list of folks who I dislike doing business with.......car salesmen, tow truck drivers, strippers, and crew scheduling at work.

 

You mustn't have dealt with many lawyers or realtors, or that list would be longer. The older I get, the longer my "list"gets.

Free bump, good luck in your search. I prefer buying used vehicles privately, but you have to cover all the bases yourself. A good vehicle history report, lein search, and mechanical inspection are all must haves, and while it's a bit more effort, you can save a lot of dough.

 

OP is looking for a 2nd gen if he said '06+

Oh, I get it, the title threw you.

 

If I didn't love mine, it would be yours in a heart beat. Indigo ink is a hard color to find. But, there have been a few up here on the market lately.

 

Ha, now that's funny. I quickly revised my list to include those too. At least the lawyer one, as my realtor on my first purchase gave me a gps for my vehicle as a welcome home present. lol.

Yea I'm scouring every place I can but being very particular with the details as you commented on. ie. the history, mechanical check outs, etc. In Texas we get the tax break between trade-in and purchase price of a used so I've tried that route but just not much available. Private party ends up with me paying a tax on the sale price or the states' presumptive value of that vehicle. It can work up to about a $900 difference in my case. Tks for the info!

 

Yea it is! No worries, I'm going to go check out a black one and a silver one today locally. There is an Indigo one but it doesn't have tow though. ;(

 

Ha, yea I shouldn't have used 1st in my word choice. Dang newbie's

 

If you are ok with driving to Kansas,

Or OK city

I guess all the Indigo's are sold that I used to see. Some SWB's out this way for sale though, but all of them are prerunner for the most part.

 

I just decided to sell mine. Black 2007 Double Cab TRD Sport 37K miles. It comes with Wet Okole seat covers. Very nice truck and well taken care of $22500

 

Nice. Thinking of putting it up on autotrader or another site with pics by chance?

 

Nice options, tks. Yea I can get to other places quickly and easily. Just need to find the right truck. That first one is perfect except for the color.

Nice truck. Still kinda looking for a blue one though. I'll keep it bookmarked for now. Good luck!

 

Well I finally found my truck! Thanks to all for the funny posts and helpful info. After 3 years of saving and researching I finally found a 2009 DC, LB, TRD Sport w/Tow package and the upgraded JBL sound/bluetooth! Got it for a great price ($5k less than the original list price) from a Lexus dealership. Don't think they new what they had on the lot! Hate to sound like a little kid but I'm so pumped to finally be a Taco owner and can't wait to customize it to my lifestyle and family's needs. Looking forward to many fun years with this truck!
