    I originally bought this 1997 Tacoma for $800.00, for a builder. It had over 283,000 miles on it, but the A.C. didn't work and this and that. It was throwing a code p0302, and I couldn't figure it out why.
    So my wife went out for a drive with it on Saturday trying to work out the bugs on the truck, it was really struggling on power, and the brakes were non existent.
    We were driving thru a local little town that has a Toyota dealership. We stopped and got out of the truck to look and use the dealerships A.C., and they had a sign out front. "Upgrade your Toyota sales event", and we did.

    We traded in the Tacoma, received 1600.00 as in trade in amount, received from Toyota finance a used car rate of 5.90%, plus a 36 month 45,000 maintenance, 3 year 36,000 major warranty, and came home with a low mileage(59,000) 2006 Rav4 sport.

    So thank YOU ALL for your insight in some of the help that we received. If the truck was in a little better shape we would have stayed longer.
    Take care,
