I have a Theory about new Tacoma Pricing…..

I will repost this theory again when I can provide more detailed information….

 

Local dealer has a 2024 TRD OR 4X4 DCSB for 60K! There is a guy selling a clean TRD PRO right now for 46K. You can buy that and still have 14K left over to pick up a used daily driver.

 

In other news, water is wet

 

You spelled bilstein 8112/8100 and a supercharger very oddly.

 

The easiest way to explain it is - The price is high, because it's for sale.

 

I also have a theory about Tacoma pricing.

Post up here if you do too.

 

Makes sense

 

I have a theory...

oops...there it went.

 

In the meantime, grab yourselves a sammich

 

Greed and coz they can

 

Nothing new showed up with pricing in my several months of lurking and shopping. It was all as economics text books were decades ago.

The total of new features and market dynamics allowed Toyota to set pricing. Sub-models with more supply and some market areas had discounts. Sub-models and/or some configurations had scarcity that allowed higher prices to stick. Shopping for a scarce one - long bed TRD OR - found huge differences where they are allocated and stocked. Shopping in an up to 500 mi circle and where I considered a cheap one-way plant ticket found biggest cities were more prone to discounts. Some dealers within 60 miles of bigger metro areas seemed to specialize in beating others prices.

The new Tacoma line plus some sub-models can hold higher prices for safety ratings and features the competition doesn't have. Consider long bed and manual transmissions as examples beyond IIHS top safety pick.

 

I'll post my theory right now.

I paid $36,000 for my 3rd gen Taco in 2016. In today's dollars, that's $47,800.

You can't whine about the price increases without recognizing post-Covid inflation.

 

I just got rid of my 17 Trd offroad 4x4 dcsb for a 24 trd pro t4r for 55k. Got 22k for my truck paid off with 156,000 miles on it. Deal of the century. So happy with the switch. Tacoma to expensive and so will the new 4runner.

 

I love sammiches, yum yum.

 

The first rule of Tacoma Price Theory is that you don't talk about your Tacoma Price Theory.

 

Sounds good, just hope i can get decent money on my 2014 4 runner trail edition as it was named back then, its pushing 200,000 miles and flawless. Well see

 

You can run it through Edmunds to get an idea of its trade-in value, but with that mileage, it's probably not a lot.

 

Sad but it is what it is, im sure it will go through auction be bought, then exported to middle east as a dessert assault truck, lol
