You made the deal. You should have walked away instead of accepting a $1,200 trade, then dealt with the frame issue that 'devalued' the truck.

You probably could have parted out the truck for more than that. Of course you don't tell us anything about the rest of it's condition, so we don't really know if you had a clap trap or a gem.

Regardless, the frame issue should have been addressed while you still owned the truck. It's not yours now.

I do feel you may have been taken advantage of. However, it's quite unlikely you have any legal recourse. Maybe if your town has investigative news reporters? They like stories that get down on big companies taking advantage of the little guy. It would be free and might get you some form of goodwill compensation.

And please, try using at least some punctuation to help others avoid painful reading.

Good luck with whatever path you take.

 

You might have exceeded the statute of limitations which is usually 4 years for cases like this. You may want to do a quick search on the rules of that before you spend any more time or energy trying to recover the difference.

Good luck.

 

Welcome to TW!Move along but good luck if you decide to further find resolve.

 

McWelcome.

 

Congrats on your new Tacoma and welcome!
