It may be used, but it's new to me

I am now a proud owner of a (new to me) 08 Tacoma TRD Sport. I've always admired the looks of the 2nd Gen Tacomas, but wasn't sure I was quite ready to have one as my daily driver. Well, with the transmission failing on my 04 Maxima and my trusty, but rusty, '88 Hilux barely road legal, I felt the time was right to make a move. Since I wasn't ready to buy new, I decide[SIZE=4]d to look for a deal on a used one[SIZE=4]. I found out th[SIZE=4]at there [SIZE=4]aren't really many "deals" on Tacomas since the[SIZE=4]ir[/SIZE] resale is so [SIZE=4]r[SIZE=4]idiculously[SIZE=4] high, but I still managed to [SIZE=4]get [SIZE=4]a couple of grand und[SIZE=4]er KBB ret[SIZE=4]ail. I'm still am[SIZE=4]azed that I [SIZE=4]bought a vehicle [SIZE=4]that just rolled over 100K in miles...had it been any[SIZE=4]thing bu[SIZE=4]t a Tacoma, I would have never even considered it. I'm still a little nervous about that, but [SIZE=4]it seems to drive like it's almost new, so I'm hoping I ge[SIZE=4]t another 100K out of it. I've always heard the stor[SIZE=4]i[SIZE=4]es about the longe[SIZE=4]vity of these trucks. My Hilux is fairly [SIZE=4]low mileage (150K) for it's ag[SIZE=4]e, runs[SIZE=4] like a top, [/SIZE]but it[SIZE=4]'s just in sore need of a frame off resto[SIZE=4]ration, something I don[SIZE=4]'t have the time or talent to do, so i[SIZE=4]t will likely get sold to[SIZE=4], hopefully, [SIZE=4]someone who [SIZE=4]would want to put the time into it.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]

[SIZE=4][SIZE=4]I've [SIZE=4]always [SIZE=4]found forums like TW to be a really great resource [SIZE=4]for tackling probl[SIZE=4]ems with my vehicles or just to [SIZE=4]BS with other owners about the things we love and hate about our vehicle. [SIZE=4]I just joine[SIZE=4]d TW today and already I've found out that [SIZE=4]the little shudder upon takeoff is likely [SIZE=4]a "normal" quirk with Tacos, I've l[SIZE=4]earned how to fix my fault[SIZE=4]y overheard compass/[SIZE=4]temp di[SIZE=4]splay ([SIZE=4]gonna tr[SIZE=4]y to tackle that this weekend)[SIZE=4], and I've [SIZE=4]even found other owners who [SIZE=4]have had a similar problem with the f[SIZE=4]uel door dragging [SIZE=4]when opening. [SIZE=4]Great stuff. I[SIZE=4] think I'm going to really love this truck. The Speedway [SIZE=4]Metallic Bl[SIZE=4]ue paint jo[SIZE=4]b is[SIZE=4], by fa[SIZE=4]r, the brightest [SIZE=4]of any vehicle I've owned. My neighbors are complaining that they need sunglasses just to look at it! [SIZE=4]At first, I really th[SIZE=4]ought that I was going to miss all the bells and whistles that my Maxima had (and the Taco does not), but I really don't. [SIZE=4]Both [SIZE=4]are fun to [SIZE=4]drive, just [SIZE=4]a different kind of fun (wouldn't recommend taking the Maxima off [SIZE=4]the blacktop..[SIZE=4].ever).

[SIZE=4]Looking forward to[SIZE=4] [SIZE=4]talking to other [SIZE=4]Tacoma fol[SIZE=4]ks on this forum.
