Detailed pics of the "new" 99...(56k warning)

Okay, sooooooooo...I'm sensing that most people think this is a problem?

I talked to my neighbor this evening about it. He works at the Toyota plant here in Evansville, where they make Tundras and Siennas. Anyway, he was aware of the problem too and knew about the Toyota guarantee. He said to contact the dealer right away and work through it with them.

That's too bad. I really like this truck, and it'll probably be hard to find another one similar to it in the price range...at least what I want to pay for a knock-around truck.

 

I'm sure you are dissappointed. Finding a used Tacoma for the right price is not an easy task. I hope this all works out for you and you don't get the shaft in the end.

 

i got 13,000 for my 99 2wd access cab sr5 you should make out on the deal it took about a month and a half to get it all taken care of since yours is a 4wd v6 you should get a bigger check they give you 150% of the book value so good luck and enjoy that check

 

dude you're gonna make out like a bandit, don't worry you'll have enough to buy alot nicer truck and still save some money!

 

Does this apply to second hand owners?

 

I've got my appointment with the Toyota dealer on Monday morning 6/8, so I'll let everyone know how that turns out.

 

Yes, I'd love to get into another used Taco. But I'd really like one similar to this one, e.g. the V6, manual tranny, and 4wd. High mileage 1st gen is okay as long as it's been taken good care of.

 

hope all goes well at the dealer Thor . sorry bout the frame rust, she was a beaut. You will find yourself another though

 

Thanks...not sure what'll happen, but I'm sure it will all work out for the better.

 

What happened at the stealership? It's killing me. Keep us posted.

 

Yeah sorry for the delay. I think I posted another thread but it did indeed fail. Just got the offer from Toyota this week for $12345. Faxing back the form today and should have my check next week.

So I definitely made out like a bandit.

 

Keep in mind that the buy back price is negotiable. They tried to low ball me, then I provided my Kelly BB calculation and they upped their number!

Good Luck!

 

I think based on KBB it was right around 150% so that seems pretty reasonable. If I'm off base, please let me know.

 

Wow holes in the frame and that much overall rust is bad.
In the next year or so will a newer used tacoma be within your budget?

 

Yeah, I think so. That's my goal anyway, with two kids in college, etc. lol
