Oregon/Washington Craigslist Ads

I have no experience with them but have been reading that folks are selling their Taco for higher or close to the amount they bought it for. Not sure about now but within the last year they have been getting crazy offers. Definitely give it a shot. Vroom.com is another site to try too. I believe you just plug in your info, vehicle info, and they'll give you a quote.

Check out this thread about Carvana: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/carvana.678517/

 

Heard lots of bad stories about Carvana on the purchase side, all title and registration issues from a couple friends in different states. I’d stay away from them.

Not mine

 

What is the mileage on it?

 

Just hit 97k yesterday

 

Thanks. Might end up going this route. Prolly getting camper sooner than originally expected, so I started ordering stuff I need last week to get the truck ready.

 

I bet the anticipation is killing you now that it seems right around the corner hahaha

 

No problem. I was looking for a used one, but when the new one was that cheap, the used prices didn't seem so great. Worth noting the smell when these are brand new is kinda bad. Lasted weeks sealed up inside my canopy.

 

very much so

 

Thanks for the warning, but the smell shouldn't be an issue. My truck parks outside, and it's a slide in camper, so it will literally just be sitting on top of it. The Habitat is gone and I'm replacing with a Scout Yoho slide in.

 

Ah, yeah you will be good. I slept back there the night after I put it in. 1/10, don't recommend

 

@YF_Ryan look back a couple of pages. Saw someone sell a mat up in Bellingham.

 

Yeah, I saw that one too, but at 10mpg and 200 miles round trip, I might as well buy brand new local, haha. Thanks though!

 

I will always remember leaving my harbor freight rubber wheel chocks in my garage overnight when I first bought them... 12 hours in garage, a week for the smell to go away.

 

Bump

 

White long bed canopy for 2nd gen out in Monmouth, OR for $450

 

I've been getting most OEM stuff online from TRDshop.com and the like. I've found a few out of state dealers that offer substantially discounted prices with no tax, often with coupon codes for free shipping etc. Beats a lot of the craigslist+covid tax.

If you don't need it now, might be worth a look.

 

There are dealers (locally) that will likely match any price you get online (from a credible toyota dealership) within a reason (print out invoice that shows all shipping and tax included).

Purchased a TRD PRO skid plate, and tail lights using this method.

 

Great point and I agree. Definitely worth a shot and supports your local folks.

I tried this myself also and was only successful with a few items (door sill protectors comes to mind). They still wanted to charge me $400 for the electronic tailgate lock part only, for example, when I could get the same OEM part without tax and free shipping for $160. Seemed crazy. But it's the same story with dealer markup variability i suppose--some do it, some don't, only a few will price match.

 

If your looking for something cheap to throw in under your camper maybe a horse stall mat could be an option. 4’x6’ runs about $50 at Tractor Supply.
