Guidance on buying first Tacoma...

Love this story!
This truck was bought by him brand new. But has a family and just needed more space. So he bought an F-350 haha. Like most sellers say, he’s super sad letting it go. But it’s time to move on.

I’ll settle for $18k if he won’t budge. But going to see if I can go a bit lower. I’d be super happy at $17k.

I scheduled an appointment at the dealership for Monday morning. The guy said he’ll hold the truck for us until that happens! I’m so stoked right now and hope it all goes through. Can’t wait to be an actual part of the TW community.

 

Dude whoever bought that overpaid, period, not a good deal by any means, rather than throwing away money you're being smart and buying a vehicle based on its actual worth not some CA percieved version. Patience and shopping around will pay off.

 

I love Tacoma's but they're pretty overpriced in the used market in California.

Same reliability, towing, and payload for almost half the price, just doesn't have the Tacoma name.

Think I saw a story on a frontier reaching 1 million miles somewhere.

 

I saw a decent looking frontier last night. I wouldn't buy one new until they overhaul it, but compared to a second gen, they arent bad at all. To clarify, you get a lot less creature comforts buying a new frontier vs a 3rd gen tacoma.

 

Truck checked out at the dealership and I go down tomorrow to pick it up! Settled on $17,500 with the softopper included. So stoked for my first Tacoma!

Thanks again, guys!

 

Got seller down from 22k to 17.5?!

 

Yeah! He actually said when I first asked him on price that it was too high. Tried to get him to $17000 but wouldn't throw in the topper, so we settled on $17.5

 

Thats awesome! Hope the truck lasts a lifetime.

 

That is awesome! Enjoy it!

 

Congrats! These are awesome trucks you're gonna love it!

 

That's a super nice truck O.P.!
