Good price for 2004 Tacoma?

The stealership is asking way too much. What would be a good price for this truck ? It is a one owner 230k. Frame recall done by Toyota. Also what 4cyl motor is better the 2.7 or the 2.4 ? I know alot about the 3.4 v6, but nothing about the 4's.

2-3k. 4 absolute tops.

2.7 is better but still a dog. Throw an auto behind it....

1 owner, 1000k owners, doesn't matter. Its a 20 year old truck with 230k on the odo.

 

Dont both the 2.4 and the 2.7 have timing chains ?

 

so other than the .3 difference? are they any different ?

 

Seems too high. Should be closer to 5k, at least thats what they go for down here in Texas. Keep looking or see if you can get them down on the price!

 

At best it’s a $5000 truck. Pretty but not worth what they’re asking.

 

Thats what I said about some guy who had an old 4runner and got shit for it

 

That's because many of the people who respond aren't grounded in reality and think anything with a toyota badge is worth 6 figures. Either that or there is some secret toyota underground where they actually sell for insane amounts that I'm unaware of.

 

Well there is. Anything can sell of any price. How much would you pay for a twinkie? compare it to whoever bought the last twinkie on ebay from the original company. Its just you have to consider what it will sell for, vs what some rich fanatic will pay for it.

 

you can fly to albuquerque, nm and get this one instead. 5k more but a fourth of the miles.

And it's a manual.

 

what would you sell an '86/'87 fleer corp Michael Jordan rookie card
what is this card worth to you?
for example...

 

Anyone else know the differences between the 2.4 and the 2.7 ?

 

2.4 was only available in the 5 lug (two wheel drive, different frame from the 4x4s) I believe they share the same block. The 2.7 is a solid motor in the single cab, but I imagine the 3.4 would be a lot of fun

I got mine for a few grand less, but that frame replacement definitely keeps the value up. Especially if it’s recent and/or the new frame has been well cared for since.

 

And if I owned a house that both bill gates and Donald Trump were born, I'd be rich. But it would be bad strategy to price a house with that hope. You can what if all day long but hoping to find a moron for a buyer isn't the way the way to sell your truck.

 

It's a shame the guy in Albuquerque didn't sell outright. I bet he got 7. Maybe they finagled his sales tax for more though.

 

any deets on the frame recall done?
i was under assumption that '99s were bot back and crushed if they failed the hammer

 

Market value. I dont collect cards so I wouldn't know. I'd go around and ask people that I somewhat trust and know about those cards and ask what they think it would go for. I would then raise the price a bit and see what kind of offers I get.

quick search prices range from $4k to nearly $40k
mamma mia

but that is only worth to somebody who wants that card?
the 1st gen tacoma truck is only worth whatever to somebody that really wants one i guess
I would not figure somebody that prefers an S10/(colorado), Ranger, Dakota, Nissan,etc. to put any type of value onto a Toyota truck
but i dunno that much, just a working basic economics 101
