Just bought a Tacoma!!!

So over the last few weeks, I've been looking a trucks and after a few test drives, decided the Tacoma was what I preferred.

I posted a few threads regarding the transmission and bed length options with a double cab (a must for me) because in Canada, our DC choices in 2015 are DCSB Manual or DCLB Auto. I wasn't sure I wanted a manual, and I wasn't sure I wanted a LB. After trying a few used 6 speeds with questionable clutches, I was going to settle with a LB Auto, even though in my heart I wanted a SB for the looks and knowing that it should fit my hauling needs just fine.

I had been told on the phone that there were no brand new 6 speeds in town. Well on Saturday, I ended up across town and looked in a dealer lot only to see a brand new 2015 DCSB manual. Since it was new, I thought that maybe it would drive better than the only used examples I could get my hands on to try.

So I made an appointment to test drive the new 6 speed DCSB this morning, and I brought my wife with me as she needs to be comfortable with the clutch even though it will be our second vehicle. We took it out for a drive, and to my surprise, it was a very good shifting truck (not as smooth as a car, but still quite nice) and the clutch was not too stiff at all. My wife even thought it was fine and she drove it very well even though a manual transmission makes her nervous if she's never driven that particular vehicle.

So this afternoon I secured a deal on a black, 2015 TRD Sport DCSB 6 speed!!! I went to the dealer ready with online printouts of what the dealer invoice is and what my car should be worth as a trade. I was able to get the truck for about $700 above invoice, and I was able to get what I want for a trade. I paid extra for the 4 inch side steps, which will be installed before I take delivery. Because I wanted black, the dealer will be trading the one I drove (white) for a black one that another dealer has in stock.

I should be taking delivery early next week. Thank you to everyone on this forum that have answered my questions in older threads! I will post pics when its sitting in my driveway!

I've had mine for a few weeks and enjoying it very much....
All the best with your new ride

 

Thanks all! I'm crazy excited about it!

 

Nice dude! Welcome!

 

You gonna love it!

 

This would be a good time to get a 2015 Tacoma. I was fooling around looking at used Nissan Titans thinking it would be a better tow vehicle than the '05 Tundra. Waste of time that, but I saw a DCSB TRD OR auto 2015 Tacoma for $31,267 on the dealer lot. Probably get it for $30k if I wanted to. Pretty good deal.

 

Congrats and many happy miles in your new truck.

 

Right on! Always a plus if your wife is on board with it.

 

Congrats!!!

Ive had mine now almost 2 months and Im still in the honeymoon phase.

Get soo many compliments, and its just a fun ass vehicle to drive.
