    Hey, what's up?

    Decided to make my debut post here in the Southwest forum, living in AZ and all.

    Just registered today, I've been looking at 2nd gen Tacoma (Tacomas?) for a while now and it looks like its about time for me to get a used one with my Maxima dying. I lurked a lot on http://maxima.org/forums/ and learned a couple of things, mostly how good a resource other owners are.

    You guys have any tips? Dealers/contacts to hit or to avoid? Are some years better than others?
