Pic Heavy. Show us what you Traded in or Sold for your current Taco. All Gens!!

Sold my 06 Scion tC 5 speed to a buddy, I had so much fun with this car for 8 years.






Traded for my 2014 TRD OR 4x4

 

Trade in Bike for the Tacoma!! (Loving it!!)

 

Traded in an '08 335xi:For a '14 TRD OR DCSB. Added the rock sliders and tonneau.

 

How'd the xterra treat you? I've always liked those.

 

It was a serious labor of love. I loved where my Xterra took me, but it was north of 100,xxx miles, and the maintenance issues were vast during my six years of ownership. Great community of loyal owners, forums, and aftermarket supporters as well.

However, my six year takeaway was that Nissan never really intended for the Xterra format to thrive off road as much as I personally used it. The dust and vibrations took their toll on the electronics and intake system (replaced my MAF three times = $1,000).

I replaced my ECU, IPDM relays, cam timing sensors, ABS sensors, transmission, cooling system (Strawberry Milkshake of Death), and the list goes on and on.

I have other friends who still love their Nissans, but they are all under 100,xxx miles...so the clock is ticking. IMHO.

 

Traded in my first new car purchase, a 2017 Ford Fiesta ST for my Taco. It hurt to see it go, but I will be paying off the Taco in half the time, and my insurance is cut in half. I’m 22, so insurance on the ST alone was near $300 monthly. Financial guru Dave Ramsay got into my head about having car payments; couldn’t afford it cash but paying it off in less than half the time of the ST is fine by me.

 

9 years ago I traded the old family truckster (2000 Honda Odyssey) for the 2006 Tacoma. The truck now has 178k with peeling clear coat but stills runs like a champ.

 

Sold both prior to picking mine up.

 

The boat didn't run and I had started to hate rangers. Besides it's crummy quality, I was the only non-methhead driving a ranger around town

 

98 to a 15. Both with the much maligned 2.7. Both are 5 speed manuals.

 

300 a month for insurance???!!!!!! Jesus. I looked at getting a new M3 and at 23 mine would’ve been around that much.

 

Yep. Clean record too. Hated to see the ST go.. but I’m hoping at 25 my insurance will go down and I’ll be considered “low risk”. So they say. I guess I’ll have to wait to have fun until then.

 

Sold my 92 2wd I4 reg cab today to fund the 05 2wd I4 reg cab that I bought last month.

Things I'll miss:
-So much visibility out the back window.
-Pulling compatible parts from wrecked 4runners. Really wanted to do a front clip swap.
-The dream of someday swapping in a 1UZ.
-A clutch that feels like driving a car.
-The space to walk around it in my garage.
-Sturdy tailgate.

Things that are so much better in the Taco:
-Way more comfortable seat, even if it is just a bench.
-Less body roll around corners.
-Better available rim options.
-A/C
-Power Steering
-More speakers.

All in all, whitey will be missed, but it's a quality upgrade. Even though it's 13 years old, it's 13 years newer than what I had. Lucky 13's.

 

Find a used supercharger and pay cash for it

 

I traded a 1999 F150 4x4 for my '06 Tacoma (sorry, no pics)...

Then I bought my '15 Tacoma after totalling my '98 Wrangler...



Now I have 2 double cab 4x4 Tacomas... I love my trucks, but I do miss my Jeep...

-Bear

 

2014 civic SI sedan. KSport coilovers, Konig Hypergrams wrapped in BFG summer tires. I was the original owner. 23k miles. Paid off. Traded for this 2008 126k mile one owner TRD off road with a spacer lift and rockstar wheels.

 

What issues did you have? I had the generation prior (9th gen) before they went turbo. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for the K series naturally aspirated 8th and 9th gen civics.

 

Sold my first gen Tundy for my Tacoma. I miss the Tundra but then again I miss all my old rides.

 

Traded in my 2002 Dodge Dakota 4x4 Quad Cab when I got my 2014 Taco. The Dakota had done me well for 12 years. I miss the manual transmission though...
