    Looking for anybody who has bought or heard of this dealer http://www.texasdirectauto.com/ I live in ca and it seems to me they always have clean high end model trucks at a fair price. When I buy a truck I spend months learning the market before I find my deal. I have never lost on a truck. I buy low miles for a good price. I'm looking for any feed back from this place.

    I see cars with their logo on them all over Austin. Doesn't say a ton except that they're still in business. Check Yelp, BBB, Google reviews?

    Emissions I believe.

    The emission requirements on a California vehicle are higher than on a Texas vehicle.

    Good company to work with. They are willing to work with lower margins than CarMax. I've sold them 2 cars, much better price offer than CarMax.

    I bought a F150 from them a few years ago. The truck was clean and just as described. I flew in and picked it up. I was in and out in less than an hour. I would buy from them again without hesitation. Good luck.

    Thanks stanhope. They seem to have clean trucks usually being the higher end models with low miles. There trucks seem to have 2 to 3 owners with mileage under 50,000 people in Texas must love there high end trucks and buy and sell very often

    It was August 2015. 2013 Prerunner TRD Double Cab w/ 33,XXX miles, towing package, JBL Audio / Navigation, Weather Tech Mats, color matched Tonneau Cover (which I sold), new tires, 3M tint, Black Tubular step bars, SUPER clean with all service documentation, manuals, original window sticker...

    If I remember correctly, I paid $24,000 (the paper work is in my desk drawer in my office). I can't find anything here at the house.
