Bought a new 2020 - trade in / resale value for my 2012 - unreal.

wonder if they used KY or just plain Vasolene

 

I had my old Jeep on Craigslist. I had it up for 3.7 and ended up trading in for 2 even because of the huge pain in the ass it turned into. But these old Tacomas especially the second gens just sell themselves. Price it reasonably and don’t take nonsense because the next guy will happily pay it. But that old Jeep...what a mess that became.

 

8 year old truck 17k miles. What a waste.

 

Having a new truck is great. If you would have sold it for cash and walked into the dealer with said cash in hand, you could have got a better deal. Kind of lost on both ends, but heck, this is America. It's only money.
You do have a new truck and it is only money...

 

he's gone to the 3rd Gen forum

Here in Utah it could have sold for $19K private

 

Unless it was a rust bucket, I would have given you more than that.

 

So how do you like driving the 3rd Gen vs your 2nd Gen?

 

Sweet ! Amazingly nice how a brand new vehicle rides out of the stealership !!!

 

Thanks, That is what I used as a basis for trade .... KBB was almost exactly the same.

 

sorry.....KBB & NADA aren't sales tools for selling Tacoma's

Again...that truck would have brought $19K in Utah

 

Congrats on the new truck. My friend also traded in his 2nd gen for a 3rd gen this week.

 

- With the Base Cab (my only ride) - I could only take 1 passenger.
- if it failed - I had no ride to pick up parts ...
- no place to lock up packages.
- Ext Warranty was up.
- Ongoing maint stuff starting (Tires , belts, gaskets ...etc...)
- I sold while the I could still get good $ for it.
- Wanted an access cab.
- I hated the color.
- Need some spots / area painted
- Cost me only 6K for 8 yrs.
- Had the money.
- Wanted a new one.
- spent many hours searching/researching online + 3 hours at the Stealership - I had had it ...
- I'm a big guy and wanted more room.

 

yes I know and I love the reggie cab had a 78 or 82 I forget.
I have to recline the seat in my ac to be comfortable.
Believe me I tried the reggie cab a few times before getting my ac.

 

Leave the dude alone. We all get taken by the stealership at some point in life.

 

I’m just curious if he went and spent 35k to just let it sit in the damn driveway/garage. If so again a waste of money and a truck.

 

It anyone wants to see crazy resale, shop for a 2nd gen regular cab 4x4. Some of the 2014-2015 ones with low miles sell for nearly what they sold for new

 

His money his truck

I bought my 2018 DCSB OR 4X4 in Dec 2018 and have only put 1900 miles on it

 

I’d have given you $12K for your truck - Stealership at it’s absolute finest!

 

They're in business to make money.
