    Ill need to move to a more practical vehicle soon. Not happy about it but thats life. I was hoping to get an idea of what I should expect as far as far as value on the truck. Ill just list off whats on it and whats wrong with it and se how it goes.

    Thanks for your feed back.

    Basics:
    2008 regular cab
    Manual trans
    70500 miles
    Brand new battery/Oil change

    Mods:
    Alarm with auto locks
    New magnaflow (uninstalled)
    Bucket seats
    Short shifter
    Variable speed wiper switch
    Color matched grill
    HID head lights
    HID fog lights with stock button
    09 led tails (with super bright reverse lights)
    Kenwood deck
    JL door speakers
    One pioneer shallow 10 and 500w mono amp
    17's with Hankooks dynapro's (40% tread left)
    BAMF sliders/ welded with kickouts
    Front Toyotek coilovers with blistiens (with spacer)
    Rear 1.5 AAL with 5125 billies

    Bad:
    Small dent in rear bumper
    Normal wear from wheelin (branches and stuff, not rocks)

    Ive only "wheeled" it once. Didnt do anything big. I have gone camping 30 times and thats where it sees its off road living. Its my daily driver and I love it but its not enough space for my needs. Never had any problems with it,

    Expect people to try to devalue it because of age, go only by blue book prices & ignore all the tasteful mods that IMO, have added value to the truck. Only people here will appreciate what has been done and how it seems to have been taken care of and improved upon saving them time and money to do themselves. Might wanna take down the sig pic during sale. My question is, would it be more painful to sell it to get something more practical you hate or suck it up and just pay to have 2 vehicles? GLWS if that is direction you continue in, very nice truck.

    Thanks. Yeah I know "mods" don't equal more money necessarily. I was thinking like $13,500. Is that crazy?

    Just starting...
    Have you checked Auto Trader in your area for Tacoma 4x4 trucks? You want to list it competitively, even if you need to accept lower when you negotiate.


    I've seen 4x4s with that low of mileage listed for 10k more. Go carefully through all the trim levels to calculate what is fair.

    I hardly think 13.5k is crazy price for your truck. Hell I'd ask at least 15k.......Couldn't part with my 100k 08 Prerunner for less than 20k so it looks like I'll be keeping it, lol, which is exactly what I want to do.

    Agreed.

    Mod's add little value to your truck, and I also would take down your sig picture before you sell it.
