    Guys,

    I have an area of the side of the bed with a couple spots of oxidation. It started a few years ago on a 2012 Tacoma. I am an original owner. Anyways, should I try to fix this first before selling the truck? Everything else is in good condition. Truck is white so its hard to notice unless you look at an angle.

    Thanks for your opinions.

    Tt

    I would. If the prospective buyer notices them he will want you to lower the price. If you priced it with this in consideration and plan on mentioning it, then you could possibly get more for it if repaired.

    Can you post a picture?
    You might be able to polish it out provided it's just on the surface. It's only a 2012 (which shouldn't have oxidation) so it shouldn't be that bad right?

    If it's not horrendous then I'd leave it.

    Truck is worth $X regardless of minor oxidation.
