    I'm considering taking the plunge on a new Tacoma. I'm trying to decide if I want to make the payment or not :) Plus there is noting wrong with my current Tacoma.

    Also trying to determine a fair price for my current truck and am asking for opinions on its value. Also any other details I should include?
    Nada Guides says Clean Retail with these options is $8865.

    Located in Phoenix, AZ.


    2000 Toyota Tacoma SR5 V6 4x4 w/ manual transmission.
    Power windows and locks.

    Upgrades:

    ARB rear air locker with compressor under hood.

    King front shocks rebuilt less than 500 miles ago.

    Bilstein rear shocks and Deaver springs. Approx 3” lift.

    31” BFG tires.

    Toolbox in bed with 2nd battery and large air compressor correctly wired to charge when engine is running. Can operate air compressor and stereo from 2nd battery with engine off if desired.

    Alpine Stereo, 4 Alpine speakers in OEM locations, Amp, 2 8” subs in rear seating area. CB with antenna.

    Custom rear bumper with side protection and hidden hitch behind license plate.

    Rock sliders welded to frame.

    Rear frame reinforcement welded in place under bed.

    Professionally done within the last 500 miles:

    Water pump, T-Stat, timing belt, pug wires, AC recharge, and valve cover gaskets. Rebuilt King front shocks.


    Truck has 230K miles, I bought it with close to 200K on it. Runs and drives extremely well!

    Has numerous tiny dings and scratches and a decent sized dent on the right front fender from pervious owner.

    If it ain't broke.....

    You're better off selling it if you want decent cash, trading in wont give you half of what you would expect. Value is in the eye of the owner and the want to be owner. Dealers won't give a hoot about all those add-ons and mods. Decide what it would take for someone to drive off in your truck and don't settle for anything less.

    Trading in was never a consideration :)

    Was looking for opinions of a price to sell it.

    Only you know if you want a payment !!

    Then to some buyers all those extra goodies detract from the value.

    Pray tell just why do you want a new Truck??

    All the radio presets used and you found a new station??

    Might be hard for buyers without cash in there pocket to get money for something this old.
