How much have you spent....

MAINTENCE WISE!! (NOT MOD)

List your details about your tacoma.
Odometer:175000
Year:07
Where it gets driven most: Highway/offroad: Highway
How much $$$ you spent on it maintenance repairs wise: $15
And not service wise like oil changes/washerfluid, just strictly parts wise.

Im curious to see how great toyota really is

I myself have had it since new,, warranty ended at 160000, I just had to replace a pulley bearing at 174000, and under warranty all they have done is 1 pulley bearing, and like 3fan motors.. lol And another one to come soon..

And i baby my truck!!

 

Since toyota charges out the a*s for labor, about $1.5k. My last trip alone was over $400 to put new tires and my coils on.

 

2001 PreRunner with 134,000 miles. Got it in 2010.

Gets driven about 200 HWY miles a week and sees the mud, a field, or a trail almost every weekend

The only maintenance I've done on it is oil changes. I got free balance and rotations on my tires for life from Discount Tire. I got mine at 90,000, so I'm getting the transmission flushed and all new brakes next week, which will be about $240. The Tacoma engine is pretty solid, so all the saved maintenance money goes to MODS! With all the bragging I just did, I'd like to officially knock on wood

 

I think that's mods. This is just maintenance. Unless there's one of those too.

 

Lol k cause i havent seen anything such like it, so i figured id start one of these bad boys up.

Thanks

 

Whoops, I thought this was another mods thread. Guess I should read before I vote from now on.

 

guess I should have read more detail before voting, I thought it was in mods..

 

Please do more searching for threads like this one before starting your own....

 

2002 2.7L 4x4 Reg Cab 90k
Most of my maintenance costs stem from fighting North East rust. New bumpers $100ea, new oil pan $140, need new wheels (steels rust)$200, new exhaust$200, skid plates$50(used), ect all due to rust. Also I've had to replace a detonated A/C compressor and the components$400. Oil changes cost around $30 for just the oil and filter, well over $100 to change all the other drive-train fluids, fresh coolant will cost around $70, grease for drive shafts. Belts ~$30, plugs $30. In total around or over $1500(all work done myself). New tires soon another $500.

A very robust truck, but a truck none the less, and so it's still an expensive vehicle to properly maintain. With the Tacoma however, my feeling is that I'll get out what I put into it. So if it costs some money up-front but I'll get 300k miles out of it, that's just alright.

Save the money you'd otherwise put towards "mods" and put it into thorough maintenance, you'll be rewarded with a longer lasting, more reliable vehicle.(my opinion)

 

$5k worth of damage after the atrocious mud pit at Gorman. In one fell swoop I devoured your poll.

 

$200 in repairs/maintenance

$100 for a transmission pressure control solenoid
$100 for a blown axle seal. Both under "warranty" *cough* *cough*

 

with rebuilt engine and new clutch i beat this poll...

 

'06 TRD Sport V6 Auto with 83K miles. Owned since January. Spent only a few bucks on filters, oil, etc.

 

Post link before posting.

Edit: You (op) should clarify self inflicted damage that needed repairs vs normal repairs (wear and tear).

 

BOUT 12 OIL CHANGES AND A SET OF TIRES SO FAR.

 

About $80,000,
I run only the best in my oil changes, pure golden oil.....

 

Well at least you aren't alone . . .

 

not really a strong truck shall we say? lol

 

Yeah I screwed up on the poll. I thought we were talking about mods and not repairs.

My vote should be thrown into the 0-500 selection.

 

lol oh well.. its no biggy i made it more noticeable so now people should mess up, with reading even the first line
