Nice '99 Tacoma Headed To The Crusher

Toyota is offering a very generous price unless I heard the guy on the phone wrong. That being the case, I seriously doubt they want parts missing.

 

Before it hits the crusher, the salvage yard will take her apart, the only thing that will get crushed would be the frame from the looks of it, it is how they make their $$$$$...

Very nice truck, bummer on the rust....

 

When they took my 95 back on the buy back I was told they remove the gas tank and then crush the rest. There is no parting out aloud by Toyota. I was also told that all the buy back trucks in WV were crushed somewhere in Ohio.

 

how you got 86k on a vehicle in NY and didn't get any rust on it is astounding

i lived in NY all my life until 2 years ago; i jumped through all sorts of hoops trying to keep/get salt off of my first vehicle... got rust within 2 years

 

I'd do the same

 

Check your PM's

Correct

If you did your buyback @ Morgantown the truck went to Ohio

 

Buy back is at 150% right? Either way you made out like a bandit! Congrats!

 

This , congrats !

 

I know it sucks to see that Taco go- it looked very clean, almost perfect! But if they do give you that money you've been quoted, you done made out like a bandit!

 

Jesus! Maybe I can go find me a rust bucket and get it bought back LOL

 

Can you so this? Smart idea

 

Not sure. They might have some sort of rule like "must own for x years" or something.

 

That's what I was thinking , or else people would be buying all those rusted tacomas and getting rich of them

 

Still running around in the free rental waiting for a phone call.

 

Got the call yesterday. 11:00 AM on Monday, the Tacoma will no longer be mine.

 

She's gone.

 

It's a sad day
But at least they gave you more than enough to get a [used] 2nd gen! If that makes it any better

 

How are you liking that?

 

Sorry about your truck dude,

At least you have a chance to get another RC, before they are gone as well.
