selling my truck..

ok, im selling my baby and getting a 09 but the toyota place will only give me 3500 trade in for my 04 DC with 100,000 miles....wtf?????? but i want to keep my wheels and tires that i have on it, so im looking for cheap set of wheels for this thing...any ideas??? and also im debating on taking the lift off because i still have my 265/70/16 tires but it they loook goofy with a 3" lift. should i take the lift off or leave it on and whats a set of CHEAP wheels. im talkin less than 300?

 

$3500 trade? Wow. As far as mods/upgrades...take them off. Lift, wheels and all. Grab a hold of some stock wheels if I where you.

 

i have a set of the stock sport rims from my 02 that i'll sell ya.


they are in very good condition now but if you don't care what they look like i'll just slap a shipping label on them and send them down... should save on shipping some.

 

I don't have any wheels. Just thought I'd give my .02 and say don't trade in for that price. You could probably sell it for twice that.

 

your right because thats exactly what the dealer wants to do....

 

Wow...I got $14K for my 2004 TRD OR Access with 50K miles. It also had a dented front end from a deer and a dented rear quarter panel from a mailbox (damn ice).

It was a mess inside too because I didn't plan on buying when I stopped at the dealership.

FYI, I got my 09 DC TRD SPORT for a $13.4K upgrade cost ($27,300).

 

pm'd

 

well my deal right now is i plan on sitting it in the yard with a for sale sign on it....but im still unsure of taking the lift off...

 

What kind of lift is it?

 

toytec ultimate

 

i want to keep my wheels and tires because i just bought them not even a month ago....i still have the 265/70s that were on it but i think it will look dumb with the lift

 

I'm not sure it would be worth the effort. You won't be able to use any of the parts on an '09. Though you might be able to sell it, the price someone would pay depends on how many miles you've put on it.

 

Find a highschool kid w/ a daddy who has a thick wallet and tack on the lift kit as the asking price. If not, part the lift.

 

yea i also thought about leaving it as is and seeing if i could pull more out of it.

 

That's probably the better option IMHO

 

if you are going to leave all the goodies on it then you are better off selling it yourself... dealerships give you pennies for aftermarket products on trade ins as you already found out.

throw that up on craigslist... i'm sure you'll get some bites

 

thats what all my buddys say. but idk i live in a college town so i figure itll go pretty quick as is..

 

so how bout dem wheels

 

BTW, Craigslist is FREE

 

Wow $3,500 for a trade...
Mods do make trades less valuable to dealers.. But that is crazy..
