    Hey ya’ll,
    I’m new to Tacomaworld but I’ve been obsessed with Toyota trucks for a long time. I’ve had two ‘83 pickups and just got the new to me Tacoma.

    Unfortunately, I got absolutely scammed by a dealership in Texas. The truck won’t pass inspections and I can’t even register it so I’m digging through this site trying to find some solutions so I can finally drive it.

    See ya’ll out there.

    Why wouldn't a new truck pass inspection?

    The list is long but it has a rebuilt title and whoever did the work cut a lot of corners. Check engine light turned on a mile down the road after signing papers, no horn, no cruise control, airbag light.

    That dealer wouldn’t be having a good day if they sold me a truck like that.

    And that’s a sport with off-road wheels. It has an air dam. Take a pick of the interior cause you may be screwed in more ways then one

    It’s most likely a sport cause the mirror turn signals. I bet it was a head on collision that was re-built with what was available

    I doubt the hood is even OEM! Doesn't fit nicely...

    I'm feeling for this guy, I really hope they can get it figured out with the dealer.

    welcome.

    I would think you have some rights on this matter. Hit up the Texas licensing bureau (who gives dealership licenses not the DMV for inspection) and make a formal complaint.

    Thanks all, yeah it’s an off-road with sport parts. I’ve reported them to the Texas Licensing Bureau and I’m sure their license will be rescinded but I’m sill kinda stuck. I’ve threatened a lawsuit and they’ve blocked my calls and when I’ve stopped by they shut the doors on me. Obviously I should have done my homework, that’s on me. At this point I’m just trying to get it fixed up.
