Hi guys,

I had a separate thread going regarding which Tacoma to buy. As I narrow things down, my next question is Where Should I Be Looking? Or better, where should I NOT look?

Are places like CarVana or dealerships the wrong avenue? Autotrader still reliable? Or should I only be going thru forums like this cuz enthusiasts would take good care of their Tacomas? Any thoughts here?

I'm in San Diego and willing to travel 100 miles or so for pickup.
