Bad luck?

A used Tacoma scares the shit out of me, after reading all the mods people do. The engine is usually safe, but electrical or suspension look out!!!!!

 

Nah. This one’s been abused. Something is not right.

 

Shouldn't have to do that on a modern vehicle that cost 45k. Esp with such low miles.

 

Agreed.

I saw a thread of some dude cutting his frame and shit on here.

 

So I got the truck back today, they filled the coolant but not the power steering, will monitor for leaks the next day or two.

Called Toyota corporate to open a case, dealer was not happy with that.

 

Buys used truck. Thinks it should be new truck. Complains to daddy that used truck is not new truck.

 

Can always buy a used stock tacoma. Not that it makes much sense anyway, spend a bit more and buy new.

 

This is similar to my line of thinking. Based on this thread, there is something pretty wrong with this one. OP got a lemon.

 

After seeing the progression here, now I’m torn between the truck actually having an issue or the OP being a tad picky maybe. I don’t know.

 

A case about what? Didn’t they fix your oil leak(s)?

 

Yeah I expect wear but am a pretty picky guy I must admit. However a CPO vehicle should be inspected prior to sale(even I'm at fault for not being as thorough as I should).

I guess the part that gets me was after the "fix" it was still leaking and didn't have coolant or PS in the reservoir even after they said they did a post service inspection.

Currently it does appear to be fixed thankfully, I will monitor and update if anything significant happens

 

I think “certified pre owned” is nothing more than a marketing term for “used”. Have you read otherwise?

Kinda yeah, my interpretation is that it varies by place, typically what I see though is that CPO vehicles are a bit on the nicer end(lower mileage, minimal wear and tear) as well as some sort of "warranty" for what that's worth.

Technically carvana cars are CPO with a 150 point inspection but you can read all about those

 

Im interpreting part out here.

 

What did they “fix”?????

 

Exactly. Been fixed twice now and we don't even know what they did or what the problem was??

 

70k mile engine was dirty?

 

I was told the timing cover

 

Typically adds an inspection and a warranty. The latter being the key here.
