    I'm gonna be selling her in the next few months for a full-size. In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out what a fair price would be. Especially considering it's history and condition. It's also worth noting that I live in a very competitive market for Tacomas.

    -2014 DCSB V6 4x4 SR5, with towing package and top of the line Entune system

    -70k on it, 90% of which is highway miles from going to college and back

    -CPO powetrain warranty until 100k, or two more years

    -Bed cover, mudflaps, running boards, roof rack, hood deflector, locking tailgate, LED interior lighting, China AC knobs, 32 inch lightbar flush mount, Carhartt seat covers, Weathertech mats and a couple other things.

    -Really expensive 5% tint

    -The interior is pretty much perfect and the seats have had covers on them since I got it

    -Paint is in very good condition, washed weekly and waxed monthly

    -New brakes all around (I'm gonna do it before selling it.)

    -New spark plugs

    -Service records

    It's not currently for sale, that's why I didn't put it in BST. Note to the mods, if it's against the rules I'll remove it.

    Lemme know how much you think I should ask please!

    Check out KBB. Super helpful and good place to start.

    Already have. KBB isn't always a realistic tool to use.

    Why does a truck with 70k miles need new brakes? Thats way too soon for brakes. Especially on the rear.

    Nothing you list has anything to do with the value of the vehicle. Its just nice to have a list when you go to sell it.

    Even new brakes don’t increase value. Heck I’d discount the truck for it. I want original OEM brakes and I will change them if I want to. I wouldn’t want the seller changing them. Because 9 times out of 10 they never get bedded properly and then I have to turn around and replace them all over again. If I hear “new brakes” first thing I think of is “great it was done wrong and I’ve got to redo it”.

    I personally would leave the brakes alone. They should not be going bad on you. You shouldn’t even be through half the life on the fronts.

    If you want to make money on your mods, take them off and sell them by themselves. You won’t make money selling them with the truck. Because chances are the next owner won’t want all that.
    Plenty of people on here will take all that off your hands.

    I sold my 1997 A4 for twice what I bought it for with coilovers/wheels/tires. It seems to depend on who is buying and what they want out of it.

    I'll probably end up taking the real expensive stuff off, like the bed cover.

    Check kbb, edmunds and nada, that should give you the mean value of your vehicle. If you have dealer buddies maybe you can use one of the other valuation site but that’s your best bet with no connections.

    It does depend on the mods and how long you are willing to wait for the right buyer.
    But like tint, seat covers, steps, bug deflectors etc... no one is really going to pay more for those, especially when they may not care for them.
    5% tint is also illegal so a lot of people will have to strip it off.
