Did I miss the memo on second gen resale value?

I'd let my clean '14 go for $30K

-----------------------------------

 

I paid $27,000 for a 2015 with 85,000 one owner miles and oil changes with Syn oil at 5,000 miles documented. The high mileage did not put me off, and the truck looks to be perfect.... just like I would take care of, and I pick up Wednesday. Did not want to make payments, and I do not need new, I put 5K a year on my trucks.

 

What front bumper is that?

 

ARB.......

added 886 OME's & 5100's @ -0- to the front

 

Yeah this. This isn’t a Tacoma becoming a 1st gen in terms of resale. It’s a covid market thing. Any 4Runner/Tacoma/FJ/GX on the market for example $12k this time last year at a used dealer, is now priced around $3-5k higher now. People involved in used vehicle auctions were saying bids are pushing more toward market value and thus dealers are bumping that up to make profit.

Private sale has been wildly variable. Most private sales haven’t increased much in my own market area from occasional perusal of classifieds. Maybe $1-2k at most if that.

There are some select people deciding to sell in this sellers market and listing their used Toyota’s at crazy prices, thus continuing the inflated asking price trend. I mean I’ve seen people list 15 yr old Toyotas that were routinely listing at 13-15k private, now for 25-30k. And then some dipshit with more money than sense jonesing for some Instagram material somehow convinces themself to pay that price.

 

Pretty much all used cars/trucks are going up in price right now because people can't afford new ones or their job situation means they need to get out of their newer car payment. I keep looking for a regular cab short bed Silverado with the 5.3 and they are impossible to find or the prices are crazy high.

 

Used car prices across the board have escalated with the “pandemic”. As buyers have avoided spending On new cars used supply has shrunk so demand has caused prices to move up.

 

@JL8Jeff is right, stop flattering yourselves that it's a Tacoma thing. I've been looking for a beater 3/4 ton or 1 ton pickup with a gas engine and an 8 foot bed, at least new enough to have fuel injection. Prices are absolute bullshit, like 13-15K for former fleet trucks with 180,000 miles. No thanks.

 

I’m looking for a convertible as a 3rd car

I sold my is250 this summer for 5k when I paid 3.5k

 

I paid $26k for 2014 double cab 4x4 75k miles.. Clean

 

I like the 1st and 2nd gens in the looks and simplicity departments. I'm not into all the tech that is in the 3rd gen.
I've become a fan of the 1st gens because you see so many of them here.

 

Bold part especially..I follow a regional dealer on Youtube and he's said it a few times, the prices in general are climbing so much at auctions he's not really going to make as much profit especially if any hidden issues arise.

 

Off a smidge on years 2nd 2005-2015. So 15-5 years depending productiondate could add a few months. But yes they are selling like hot cakes that’s for sure.

 

I've noticed in Alabama on Craigslist they're becoming harder to find and more expensive than when I got mine.

 

ha ha

almost what ya want......close to home though-----clean title in hand

clean one Utah owner GMC 3/4 ton camper special....140K miles

Big block 454......2wd----- auto-----1976

factory A/C...dual tanks.....garage stored

Original.....even the hub caps........16" wheels

 

I drove a new Land Rover Defender 110 w/ a $90k+ sticker price this week. I'm also a HUGE Land Rover fan. It was nowhere near as fun to drive as my truck. Also, nowhere near as capable than my 7 yr old truck with 130,000 miles on it. Also..nowhere near a reliable. I wouldn't sell my 2nd gen for 35k right now.

 

Used car sales have also increase a significant amount.

 

So rad! Every truck should have white steelies and dog dish hubcaps.

 

come down to Emery County & buy now !
