Long Bedder

Hello all . I just joined Tacoma world. I live at the New Jersey Shore and I have owned 2 Tacomas. I am selling my 2002 right now. I my wife and I just picked up our newest. I was searching the internet for a good buy on a Tacoma Off road double cab with a 6 foot bed. Not many to be found with low mileage. I decided to expand my search and found a super deal in Pocatella Idaho. Only 7,350 miles and about $5k under market value. So.... We flew out to Salt lake City, rented a car, drove to the Toyota dealership in Pocatella signed the papers and drove it back to N.J. We made several stops along the way. Yellowstone/Montanna/Black Hills ,South Dakota/ Needles Highway(COOL) -the Bandlands and across the country over 7 days. It was the most fun I had buying a car in my life. I recommend it highly.

 

Nice kind of the same here I was looking for a TRD 4x4 access cab with a 6 Speed manual none in my state went 800 miles flew there have friends there in AZ got picked up at the airport picked up the truck hung out for the Day drove it home stoped along the way home it was like vacation at the same time

 

That's exactly what it was for us. Love the truck too!

 

That’s the way to do it. Congrats and welcome to TW!

 

Thanks!

 

Did that with my 2009 Tacoma that I sold to get the 2020 flew to Portland Oregon drove it back home & stoped along the way see friends & hung out it’s a Great way to see everyone & pick up your new ride at the same time

 

How many of us are out there? "Fly to buys" ?

 

I flew to Omaha Nebraska to pick up my cavalry blue MT 4x4. Didn’t stop anywhere though. Didn’t have time.

 

Oh, and welcome.

 

Thanks!

 

I flew from San Diego to San Francisco, got on a wine country bus at the airport, got off at a stop an hour later, ubered to the dealership, bought my truck and drove home all in the same day. The dealerships around here were all morons. All of them. Believe me I tried to buy close to home.

 

In 2007, I flew to Pittsburg to buy my 2004 Tacoma and drove it back to Raleigh, NC.

 

A pioneer!

 

I “flew” down the freeway about 8 miles to get mine!

 

Welcome from another new guy. Just picked-up my 2019 Cement DCLB OR six days ago. I'm in PA but only drove like 20 miles to Limerick for mine. We did have a glass of wine when we got home but not that awesome of an adventure as yours! Ha!

Flew to AZ to buy a car a few years back, drove a little over 1000 miles by myself the first day, still had 450 to go the second day, but made it back in time to pick up my son at school in the new to me ride.

 

Nice truck....OR LB is not a possible combo here in Canada. Can get the OR AC with a MT tho.....

 

you can’t get a much better drive than that

 

Me! But my trip was just a bit shorter than yours. 1/2 hour flight and a 3 hour drive home!
