Prices Creeping Up

Agreed

When I go full size I am getting tundra

Though Ford F-350 shaky is my dream truck I won't pay $88,000 for a truck

 

Talking about perception

I live in so cal

Frame rot is useless for me

 

I am not fan of second gen wheel cut out design

But. 2nd gens are amazing trucks

 

Toyota and Honda take off a lot on accords and civics and tundras

Resale value is measured in % not dollars


No one can touch Tacoma resale

But tundra selling for $5000 off msrp still has amazing resale compared to ford snd chevy

 

My co worker heard my 01 had 191k miles

He says oh another 400k miles easily

That's their perception

He has a new raptor

 

$5k is not good enough. First one I priced the dealer offered $6k+ off for a TSS 4X4. That was the initial offer with no negotiating.

 

But your % translates to dollars. Vehicles with larger mark downs have lower resale values than others.

A Tundra with $5000 off MSRP will have a better resale not because it's toyota but because Ford and Chevrolet are taking $12,000 of MSRP.

 

Gotcha

Never buying chevy or ford

Though I dream of raptors

 

I keep track of things in Mint (https://mint.intuit.com) and have my Tacoma listed as an asset. The price fluctuates occasionally and I noticed it increased about $700 in the past week or so. Not sure if Mint uses KBB, NADA or something else.

 

looks like they use kbb:

What kind of issues are you having?

 

Think I'm having trouble with the drive shaft/leaf springs. I might also have a fuel pump problem. Have to take it in to get a firm dx. Ive just had to take this truck in more times in 1 year than my Ford has its 15 years.

 

If you ride it out I think you'll be happy in the long run bud

 

Yeah but this was an expensive truck to begin with and now I'm scared to put a lift on it because I feel like its going to fall apart. Right now I can sell both my trucks and get an F150 Turbo Charged V6 10-speed Lariat. The Tacoma is useless for my truck uses (I outdo both payload and towing when I tow/haul). So its strictly a toy. Its just turned out to be an expensive toy and not sure I want to hang in there when I've got other things in life that coulduse the cash (because I excessivly mod both trucks haha).

 

i traded my 13 regular cab 4x4 5speed into the toyota dealer in 2015 with 30k miles on it countless tree branch pinstripes from headlights to tailights on both sides, a crushed in skid plate, a rear bumper that was all bent out of shape, and a tire that i had to fill up with air 3 times a week, for the exact same price i paid for it brand new.
