    Hi,

    I just bought a simple 2020 Tacoma SR access cab 4CYL model (I work full time, but it is all I can afford. I wish I could afford the 6 CYL, and 4x4 2020's). I think I did well on the price. About $25K not including tax, license, and registration, etc. Just wanted to say hello to the group here. I owned a 1982 Toyota truck 4X4 with a 22R motor back in the day. Just looking for positivity and reassurance this 2020 one is a good investment. I appreciate all positive feedback!

    The model you purchased is actually the better choice as far as reliable and problem free. The v6 has had some growing pains.

    Thanks Dana! I appreciate your positivity and reply. My "Taco" (I'm learning the lingo) will arrive on Wed or Thurs on a car carrier with 8 miles on the odometer. I'm really stoked, but nervous. I've saved up for many, many years to get a new car. I always enjoyed my Toyota 82' one: Had almost 100,000 miles when I got it, and it was wonderful.

    Many thanks to Kevin Hunter's YouTube videos. He is an incredibly experienced car salesman that has posted lots of videos about purchasing a vehicle from a dealer, regardless of make and model. I would've been totally naïve without his informative videos. I saved $$$ dollars based on his tips during the purchase. Looking forward to picking up my Taco tomorrow.
