Need advice. Should I trade in or sell private party?

If you saved your OEM parts and plan on buying newer Tacoma, put the old OEM parts back on the Taco you plan on selling. I would sell Taco yourself. Dealership will never give you what your asking for. Dealership is in the business of making money.

 

Manual or auto?

 

In Texas you get tax benefit from trading in so I would check your state

 

Don't know what state you are in, but most trade-ins are subtracted from selling price before sales tax is applied. With a $30K trade, that can amount to a lot of $$. I find that trading in is far better than selling outright due to the tax implications.

 

or wrapped

 

In Arkansas, you will only pay sales tax on the difference. Whether traded in or sold outright to an individual, you'll still pay the same sales tax.....
