Good deal or pass?

good option if he wants to go full size for sure

 

Texas dealers don't negotiate much on Tacoma's that's the problem. No clue on how much out of state dealers do. I just don't need a full size truck. Love the Ecoboost but a longbed double cab is just huge.

 

Buy it. Good deal

 

Investigate before you invest.
Could this truck possibly have flood damage?

 

yeah okla dealers don't either and im in same boat. I do not want full size and no need for one. I am trading my 16 Colorado in and my 18 cement trd off road short bed is due in 1st dec. it has tech prem and jbl. also locking tail gate led in bed and black out addition and im getting $1800 off msrp. So right at $39400 I think is what it was after the $1800 off.

 

Cement is my preferred exterior but the one I found is white. Close 2nd. No flood damage. Bought and traded in same town in Nebraska.

 

Just saying our Tacomas are roughly the same size as my buddies 06 Silverado 2500HD with a duramax and Alison.

 

A doublecab longbed Silverado is about 2 ft longer.

I really appreciate all the insight. Tough decision.

 

I'm telling you bro. Just go test drive F150 and Tacoma with the 3.5, the choice will be obvious. 2.7 with a turbo in the F150 is good. The 3.5 EB even better.

 

After taxes/reg it’s gonna put you in the 35K range. You can spend 2-3K more and get a brand new ‘17 on discount.

 

I didn't like my new Tacoma. I wouldn't touch a used one with a 10 foot pole. 15K miles and no certification....I wonder why the owner got rid of it?

 

Same reason you did..

 

exactly my point

I'd be super weary of any new vehicle that has relatively low miles that's been traded in. There is probably a reason, and its certainly not any BS the salesman tries to tell you ("wanted a bigger truck", "couldn't afford the payment", "decided to get the Pro", etc). A good chunk of people that buy Tacomas buy them for their longevity, so seeing one on the lot practically brand new should send up red flags. Especially with this gen.


I can tell you from personal experience, I wouldn't have felt right selling my Tacoma to a private party--which is why I traded it to a dealership.

 

NEW!!!!
At least first fart will be yours...unless you like to sit in somebody else's shit

 

pass

 

Full car fax (you pay for it). Accidents? Second join Costco, the cheap membership, use their car buying service. I got my 2017 limited that way for about $38k under 50 miles. Just an option to look into. I did all negotiations on phone and texting pix back & forth. They gave me a decent price for my 2005 sight unseen but pix, no test drive for them. Plus a coupon for accessories, got sun shield and all weather mats for $70

 

Makes it pretty easy to me. If I am going to pay for a new truck I am going to buy a new truck. I don't see any advantage to buying a used truck that costs the same as a new one.

No taxes/reg on a new one?

Nebraska is a big state with few Toyota dealers, I am not driving an hour plus for an oil change.

 

This is sight unseen? If so remember that used trucks always look better online than in person.

 

Yeah I'm located in Texas and the truck is Nebraska. We have sales tax on new or used. In the end the used one is about 6k cheaper for the same truck new. Taking into account depreciation it's either me taking it or the previous owner vs 2018 and 2017.

 

I wouldn't buy it without seeing it first.
