Brand new damaged 3rd Gen for sale

$33,500 for a Tacoma with a smashed front right fender?

 

"Best deal in the US" my ass

 

They are

 

Fully loaded 4x4 OR with premium tech/jbl, not an awful deal for someone that would immediately put on an after market bumper IF they have access to a salvaged right front fender. (Assuming no frame damage). However I'm surprised the dealer didn't make the repair themself unless they are trying to sell someone on the idea that the damage hasn't/won't be reported to carfax if the buyer does it themself. Regardless, seems shady.

 

That's what I'm thinking. I'm sure there's a reason the dealership didn't repair. No way I'd purchase without a proper check. Chances are there's more problems behind that fender that the dealership didn't want to deal with

 

I wonder who is selling it?
Dealers typically don't accept damaged vehicles.

I'm betting this damage happened after delivery/inspection.

 

Sheeeet.....I'd buy that in a second. I'd offer them $30k, take a hammer and beat back that fender and hood!

Everytime I saw the dent I would be happy knowing how much I saved!

 

Good catch in the hood, I am browsing from my phone and didn't even see it gouged up.

 

I just offered them 25K for it haha we'll see what they have to say. Looks like in addition to the obvious hood and fender, there is something wrong with the front lower bumper. May just be a missing trim piece but it looks like that sticks out past the front bumper. a new plate bumper would make that go away though

 

Hmm...Once you make the repair it's basically a full price Tacoma...BUT you have all the uncertainty and stigma of a salvaged vehicle. I wouldn't touch it. Maybe if I had a body repair shop, then $25K seems like it would leave enough float in there to make it worthwhile for someone.

 

Salvaged? I mean the truck needs work, but I wouldn't consider it salvaged. I'm thinking a roll over vehicle would be more along those lines. If the damage was repaired, there's a chance no one would ever find out that it was even damaged. Car fax is a joke. I've seen vehicles that have been totaled by insurance escape car fax's "reliable results".

 

Agreed. Wonder why the dealer just doesn't fix it and resell it. And I'd like to see that frame..

Best color anyway

 

The price is getting better...
