    I am trying to get an idea of what to list and sell my 2008 DC Tacoma for. Overall I have had the truck since it was 1 year old, and kept up with the maintenance, as it is my daily driver. If some of you could give me an idea of how much I should list it for, that would be great. The truck has the following items:
    2008 Silver Mica Double cab with 4.0 V6 (219K miles) It has the Factory TRD supercharger with UDR pulley. (6.5lbs of boost)
    OME 3.5 lift, (just refreshed all the bushings and rebuild kit, new rear OME shocks.
    Rear leaf Daakars springs
    Tom Woods Drive Shaft, professionally balanced and triple drop forged U joints heavy duty built.
    Camburg UCA, that were just rebuilt with new moog joints.
    33" BFG KO2 tires
    Konig offroad countersteer rims
    Nice seat covers, (Have been on the truck since new) Orignal Seats are perfect under
    Weather tech floor mats, front and rear.
    New Kenwood touch screen radio, with all new speakers. (Memphis Audio) With Kicker subwoofer and Amps.
    AutoMeter II Oil pressure and Boost "A" pillar gauges and pod.
    ARB front bumper with Winch
    All-Pro rear bumper
    All-Pro front skid plate and oil pan and transfer case skid plate.
    Center Console Safe
    Trailer Brake Controller
    All-Pro Hitch
    UWS Diamond Plate Truck Box
    20" & 30" Rough Country Light Bars (mounted to ARB Front Bumper)
    Ridgid LED lights mounted in front ARB Bumper
    Alcantara Door Panels and center console covers (professionally installed)

    In the last year, I have replaced the power steering rack, the front & rear wheel bearings, as well as front and rear brakes, Drums, Rotors, and pads, and shoes. Also, it has a new battery. Within the last 2 years, I have replaced all the pulleys and Alternator. I Have receipts for all of this work.

    what’s wrong with simply listing it for a price and if it’s too high, waiting, being patient, and taking your time to gradually lower it until it sells while reading incoming offers

    that way the market and people actually looking to buy one will tell you what they are willing to pay.

    Theres some stuff I really like about it
    Like factory supercharger

    those stickers are also likely individual to you and not appeal to the general public looking to buy, making it look worse
    You can remove them

    like a Glock sticker on that window. Nothing special about it. Just tells the public “hey, bust my window please”

    if I was selling a vehicle I’d detail it and include more pics like engine bay and underbody/frame.

    Thanks TacoTuesday1, Yes stickers can be removed, not a big deal Your opinion of "making it look worse" is surely your opinion, I didn't think that was a necessary comment, Thanks. The entire point of the thread was to get an idea as to where to start the listing price, Nothing wrong with listing it for a price, waiting, being patient, and adjusting if need be.... I am fully aware of how to sell a vehicle. Usually, this forum has always been helpful and I have met numerous nice people here that offer help and are kind in their comments. Not sure where your sharp comments are rooted from? Funny, I didn't list the stickers in the items on the truck as a "special item" however you picked them out. You must be ok with the Staccato sticker though. Yes, I have not detailed the truck, (I would before listing it) and I would have pictures of the engine bay and underneath in the listing, to provide a more complete picture. Again, a feeler thread for price, stickers either on or off the truck and making a big deal out of them, SMH............ I guess I don't troll this forum enough to see what it has become. wow

    I'm with @b_r_o

    $13k or so.

    200k is the new 100k.
    At 200k people start to think "low price".

    Plus, I don't know any place that is willing to finance a 15 year old truck.
    Which means you just cut down your buyers market to people that have the cash.
    And those people don't "need" your truck. If they needed a truck that bad, they would likely use that 13k-15k to put down on a newer "more reliable" truck.

    Yeah, it's still a seller market at the moment.
    But only for the guys that can finance or have the cash.
    And a 200k mile 15 year old truck doesn't fit into that market too well.

    I'm not a afraid to say it.
    My 07' w/170k on it, isn't worth more than $9k
    Therefore, I'm going to run my truck until it QUITS.
    I'll either give it way, or sell it for scrap. (when I'm done with it)

    Fair enough, TnShooter makes some good points. I think that's a fair assessment of the pricing. Thanks
