I just Bought a 2002 Tacoma! :) Did i pay too much?

Not a bad deal at all brother!

 

the only problem is i could have paid ($11,368.50) instead of $12,018 because i got the stupid GAP insurance.
since i am paying $9,000 on my first first payment that means i only need to pay finance $2,368 to pay off rest of the amount i owe on the truck (AKA the GAP)
they said for 650$ dollars MORE i can add GAP insurance meaning that if i go into a car accident or the car gets stolen i wouldn't have to pay the remaining $2,368.0 that i owe on the truck.
i realized i can completely pay off $2,368 in 3 months and it was highly unlikely that id crash or get my car stolen in 3 months so i don't even need gap insurance!
tomorrow im calling to see if he can take off the $650 gap insurance so i can just pay the $11,368.50 like i originally planned instead of $12,018!

 

Hell yea that is a dog in a stroller. hes my best friend.

 

I have a 2003 double cab turbo diesel automatic 4x4. mile from dealership ZERO so unknown in good shape i know it was rear ended not to bad. i paid 15,000 befor the lift kit tires winch and other stuff, i got a great deal since i found others that were 5 manual single cab and not loaded like my truck. price who cares as long as you are happy, i have the rear disc brake conversion, front brake tundra upgrade bear rear disc brakes front, rear drilled and slotted rotors, led lights, thinking about the spod se and a bunch of other stuff including katskin leather that im looking at now. its something ill keep for a long time. i have boxes and boxes waiting for me to get back to do a lot of work to my truck, 1.5 inch billet spacers ect. ill do a wright up of the build. 5 months to wait clock is ticking.

 

Yeah I always thought there were mileage or year restrictions

Appreciate the info

 

That's a little steep and I would never pay that much money for any truck with that many miles, you can get a used newer gen for that price

You got ripped son

 

please i challenge you to try to find a double Cab 4x4 V6 TRD with less then 170,000 miles for under $12,000 and send a link. you wont find one anywhere. i was looking all around America near the pacific northwest for a double cab Tacoma with 4x4 all i can find were pre runners and extended cabs.

 

I looked for over a year, looked on EBay Motors, AutoTrader, Craigslist for a black Tacoma ext cab (2001-2004) v6, 5 speed, 4WD, under 100,000 miles. This was the only one I found and it was 10 minutes from my house so I bit the bullet. Also, it depends on location. WNC is on the high priced end.

 

Hey brother you got a very fair deal!!!!! Hell, you got a good deal!!!! These 1st Gens are getting very hard to find! Sleep well knowing you have a Bad ass truck!!!
Mine on the right, Champion Gold, 2wd 03

 

I'm gonna have to rib ya, because he didn't get shorted a transfer case and a front diff

 

2nd on that same thought ...DYI the internal frame coating and surface frame coating, I rescued mine from PA and definitely need to tuckle that rust before winter.

 

Nice work! I paid about $12,000 for my '04 with about 175k miles. Looks like we have about all the same options. However, I was able to find one with a replaced frame.

Yes, it is over book. But, you won't be able to find what you have below what you paid (unless it's a divorce special).

 

They shold return the GAP is not mandatory specially for only 3K loan, let us know the outcome

 

Wow lucky new frame.. 4x4?

 

If the truck is clean, drives good and well maintained mileage does not mater on a Tacoma. The 1st gen Tacoma's are bullet proof. Their is a low mileage 2003, 2WD Tacoma Prerunner for sale here in south Florida for $16,900.00 plus tax, tag and title!! The truck is beautiful and if I did'nt just buy my 90K, 2003 Taco I would be all over that truck!! Buy the way I paid $14,300.00 for my truck (pictured above) out the door and it's worth every penny to me!

 

Own it like a man, that's all I ask for in this life. Cheers.

Unless it's a satchel or purse or something then you gotta go.

 

so far im just getting floor matts seat covers dash cover and a cb radio in the future some beefy tires and new headlights for now

 

no need for dash cover. tires and weather tech mats and youll be good

 

Get the truck mods and roll on if it's a beauty it's a 1st gen the best gen

 

Fuck yes brother
