Poor tacoma resell value?

And my 2013 with 70k a dealer just offered 18k and I immediately asked for my key and left

 

You have to sell it privately. They'll try to sell that for 24. I said resale, not trade in.

 

I left them know that they lowballed me cause it books for over 20k on KBB for trade in. I told them since they lowballed me like that I just wasn't willing to even try to work a deal with them anymore and I am sue that at 20k I could sell it private really quick.

 

Third gen 4x4s in my area range from high teens to mid $20k's used retail. They're on every corner here. The market is saturated here. I've paid cash for all of my past 4 Tacomas, but leased this 2019 mainly for this reason. I know what this one will cost me to drive for three years.

 

I dunno who buys used 3rd gen tacos around here, absolutely no point at all. You can spend 5-7 more and get a brand new one, you already spending so much dough so why not.

I was looking to buy used but changed my mind very quickly and i am very happy with my decision.

 

Same here.

 

I looked at used Pro’s for 3-months and ended up purchasing a brand new 2019 at the beginning of fall for about $1k more. No other truck on the market has better resale value than the Toyota Tacoma. The Jeep Wrangler comes in at #2;


#1 2019 Toyota Tacoma
Resale value

• at 36 months: 69.4%
• at 60 months: 62.2%

 

Resale is far from hurting. I traded my 2016 SR5 with 12k miles for $31000 (paid $34000 new), traded my 2017 OR with 13k miles for $32000 (paid $35000 new), traded my loaded 17 OR Jbl/tech/prem with 10k miles for $32000 (paid $36000 new), traded my 19 loaded OR with 6000 miles for $35000 (paid $36500 new) traded my 19 loaded sport for $35000k (paid $37000 new) traded my 19 OR bare bones with 6000 miles for $33000 (paid $33,200 new).

I think its hilarious that you a) took the parts / service guy's word b) the people in here claiming 3rd gens are selling for in the teens. KBB awards, etc. all indicate continued highest resale. Used 16's are still commanding $29-30k easily.

 

Six 3rd generation Tacoma’s must be a TW record!

 

Maybe salvage. I call bullsh*t.

 

I get bored easy. Had a 2001, 2008, 2011, 2015 as well.

 

If you lived in CA you would be losing all of the sales tax paid on each of those 6 trucks.

 

But I don't, gotta love it, every state I've been stationed in or lived in has had tax credit, NJ, AZ, IL (until Jan 2020).

 

PLUS the hundreds of dollars in DMV registration fees for each truck purchased.

 

Nope, active duty pays $15 a year in AZ, NJ $80 a year. Again not CA.

 

Its kinda crazy how used ones with 20k miles and 2 years old go for 32k ish...I bought brand new as well for like 3k more.

 

“They sell so many discounted” I bet if you called in and tried to make an offer they’d tell you they don’t discount Tacoma’s because they sell so many. Sounds like sales tactics

 

Why have you had 6 trucks in 4 years?!

 

No kids, not married, no mortgage and have the means. I have $20k in savings, going back to school for my 2nd degree and a well funded retirement I contribute to regularly for those who are about to tell me how financially irresponsbile I am.
