Poor tacoma resell value?

I was buying some parts from a busy high volume socal dealer today and for shits and giggles wanted to see what they would offer me for my 3rd gen.

35k miles, 4x4 tech and off road package, v6 trdor, pretty good condition. They offered $24,000 not sure if that's a fair dealer trade in value but felt low to me.

He said socal sells so many discounted that it really hurts the resell especially for 3rd gens

 

How’d you like getting your chain pulled?
It’s always about what’s best for their bottom line not yours.

 

I'm just glad I'm planning to keep my truck for the long run!

 

I’ve got a 18’ TRD Sport DCLB and similar trucks are going for $35-37,000 with 65-90,000km on them. Msrp is about $41,000 for them up here. Canada.

 

I couldn’t find a 2-3 year old Tacoma more than 3-4K off new. So I just bought new.

 

Same predicament I got into when my 07’ was written off.

 

Where I’m at it is a rare bird to see a used Toyota Tacoma sitting on a lot for vary long.

 

Around here, decent Tacomas for '17+ (3rd gens) are going for $30K+. Most decent lower mileage ones are $35K-$38K. It was cheaper (not just a better deal, but less money) for me to get a brand new one than to buy a used '19.

 

Yep, same here. After my '14 taco was totalled a year ago I went looking to replace it with another '14 or '15. High resale & interest rates steered me into buying new.

 

me too buddy!

 

Dealers always undervalue. I just sold my 2nd gen for 6k more than what dealers offered.

 

My last trade in offer was $19k lol

 

I can count on one finger the number of new or used car salesman I trust.

 

Mark one up for the good guys.

 

That’s being pretty optimistic

 

Yeah I was only seeing about $5k discount on 2 year old models so I went new as well. Dealer also said they move them pretty quick so they don’t sell them for cheap

 

Right!

 

$29,797 for my 2017 SR5 DCSB 4x4 with 21,000 and nothing else plus $10,783 for a 2020 TRD OR with LED HL, Tech, premium audio/navigation, all weather mats & door sill, door edge guards, TRD PRO front skid, tinted front windows and my preferred tires mounted. This is in MO so yes he low balled you.

PS if I take delivery before 1-6-20 take a grand off that 10,783 due the Toyota incentives.

 

I swear I just read this a few post up...

 

Resale value and trade in value are two totally different things.
