TRD SPORT PACKAGE! GREAT CONDITION! HOOD SCOOP and BACKUP CAMERA! --- TOW HITCH

Features:
Fog lamps, sliding rear window, color matched bumpers and fenders, Power Outside Mirrors, Remote Keyless Entry System, Cruise Control, Variable-Speed Wipers, Bucket Seats with Driver Lumbar Support, Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel with Audio Controls & Leather-Wrapped Shifter, Dual Sunvisors with Mirrors & Extenders, Tailgate-handle integrated backup camera [1] linked with an auto-dimming mirror with monitor.

 

Check the frame but otherwise that's not a bad price. Mine has 120,000 and I recently had 2 dealers give me trade in quotes of $14,000 for my dcsb non-OR. 09 had a lot of upgrades vs previous years like the backup camera, pre-wired for sat radio, etc.

 

I was offered $17k on a trade in for my 2010 TRD Sport DCSB with 90k miles.
Sounds like a good deal to me if it checks out good.

 

they go for upwards of $20,000 up here

$20,000CDN = $16,000US

just make sure frame is good and rear springs etc. done

 

Only thing I’d worry about is the frame really.

 

Just to further confirm, I traded in a 2009 DCSB Sport 4x4 w/ 140,000 miles and a wreck/theft on its CarFax for $15,000...so I'd say that's a good deal on the surface. As been said, frame is only major concern.

 

Looks good too me,but check it out with a fine tooth comb before handing over any cash.

 

in june, i paid $12,000 for a 2008 4 door 2wd with 150,000 miles, a bad u joint, bad front wheel bearings (thought the noise was tires) and the overwhelming smell of dog. it wasn't a great bargain, but it wasn't horrible.

 

I bought a 12 with 130k on it for 17k

 

That's not a bad price OP - check the frame and ask for any service records.

 

If he's a clean Carfax he should be good, right?

 

Car fax wouldn’t report a rusty frame, just best to actually get under there and look at it.
