Study says Tacoma leads all pickups and SUV's in retaining value

I guess that's why the dealer offers me cash for mine every time I go in.

By the same token, it also means if you bought a used one, you probably paid more than you should have.

Read the article and tell me what say you?

Good news for me since I own a 4TR and an Element hehe

 

Toyota dealers love tacoma owners, because they're never upside down on their trucks, and so they can more easily convince you to get out of one and into a new one, keep payments at the same level, etc. And they can make a lot on the used one as well.

I don't think you can say that you're paying "more than you should have" on a used one. It's just simply what the market is demanding. So you're paying what you should be paying for a vehicle that has high demand and good value retention.

 

I got mine used for a very reasonable price...however after paying over $1200 in tax and $800 for new tires I'm right where everyone else is.

 

I was just offered 1000 less than what I paid for mine at trade in. I have had it for almost 2 years. Not bad.
