New to TacomaWorld. Looking for a Gen2 4x4 Taco in AZ

Hello friends. I am new to the forum. I live in Phoenix Arizona and I have looking to buy a 2005+ 4X4. I want a Doublecab, Automatic and would prefer a TRD model, Reverse cam and JBL (Or aftermarket) audio.

If someone on here is relatively nearby and looking to sell or you have seen a deal somewhere please drop me a message. I have all the funds in order on my end.

Probably a question for another thread but I am engaged in negotiations on a Tacoma where the lien is through Toyota Financial and it seems difficult to get the title. Anyone know about that process?

Buy mine, I'll pay for the plane ticket...if you buy it.

 

Nice. A good warm welcome, I take it I found the forum I will be spending some time in.

Im pretty serious about getting a Taco. My truck was stolen on 9/11 and I just got my insurance settlement check so I am on the steady prowl to get something soon.

I have been checking craigslist but I am a little irritated with some of the dishonest sellers and the dealers who have caused a decline in the pre owned market by lowballing or buying each good deal then slapping the certified name on it to get that huge markup.

I drove 240 miles last weekend for a seller who described his truck as good condition inside and out but I got there to find 7, yes 7 cigarette burns and the smell to go with it on the inside. The paint was in rough condition nearly to the consistency of sandpaper in areas. There was a hesitation when I tried to start the truck which threw another red flag to me for something that only had 60K miles I couldnt imagine it having engine problems. Yet the seller had the gull to quote very good to excellent KBB value. Anyhow, Im not here to whine and complain, I just wanted to get that experience off my chest.

Although I can possibly afford it (and I like the new interior) I am not looking to buy a new dealer model because I feel a Gen3 is right around the corner and I dont want to take that depreciation hit knowing I will want the new bodystyle.

 

I can help you look if you want to.
