    As others have already said, I looked at some used ones, one in particular seriously, but wound up getting a new one for about what I was finding on the used ones. Maybe I could have chewed them down on the used about the same difference? :notsure: But ultimately I wanted one with the JBL/Bluetooth package which I never found in a used one anyway. I don't drive a lot of miles and plan to keep this truck for a long time so I feel I made the right decision. Good luck!

    Thanks a lot for everyone's opinions. Definitely a big help hearing from experienced Tacoma owners.

    I think I am leaning to go with a new one due to the fact that it won't be my everyday driver (I drive 100 miles a day--i know crazy). The used prices just don't justify it in my opinion and I feel re-assured by all of your posts.

    Also, the 200k warranty is a huge for me. There is nothing worse than buying a new car, getting the price you want, and then getting stuck with a crappy warranty and paying up for one.

    Keep the posts coming, always open to hear everyone's thoughts. I'm looking forward to entering the "Tacoma cult"!

    Good deal man. I am doing the same

    Thank you!!! It's all these people who build them on Toyota.com that are getting these prices and not out searching out the deals.
