    I paid 28,400 OTD for mine with a TRD Offroad Package and the JBL upgrade. I say no. I would pay 24k, at most for it, thats only if the wheels and tires are included

    BTW, if you want to wheel your truck Id probably go with a shortbed or regular. Plus, 20" rims suck IMO. (IMO is keyword)

    I never use 4x4, only time id maybe use it would be in mammoth or big bear and Getting a loan is not a problem, my credit is excellent.

    After hearing all the comments, especially the tax break, I think im leaning toward a new tacoma.

    Shortbed definatly looks better. The 20's are getting no love on this forum :D

    Id personally rather have a 17-18 wheel with some beefier tires...

    Get a 4X4. It will have better resale potential.

    Go to Edmunds.com - look at the TMV for this truck. (True Market Value.)
    Look at ebay motors and craigs - try to get some idea of what the market will REALLY bear (i.e. - there may be trucks with similar prices, but maybe they've been trying to sell them for 3 months.)

    Lots.
    15K in a year is a lot. I wouldn't doubt if it wasn't broken in right.

    Everyone keeps saying I could get a new one for that price... If someone can show me a deal for 26,000 or even 27,000 for a brand new one ill believe it...

    Doing my research a New one (Loaded, Sport, Prerunner, DC) would cost around 30k+ OTD...

    Plus Icon lift / UCA's - 1,800

    Plus wheels and tires - 1500-3000

    Edmunds pricing for a DC Sport / Pre-Runner

    Click the options you want - click on [TMV Pricing Report] button, and see how they price it.
    It has been my experience that what you see on Edmunds is pretty close to the deal you can work at the dealer.

    30K is INSANE you can deff get a better deal for a new ride, also mods DO NOT add value. Anyone that adds mods does it for them selves, you have to act as if you "don't need it". I say if you want to get this truck don't pay more than 26,500 with EVERYTHING. Besides not havin 4x4 sucks IMHO. Hope it works out for you. If you have to pay anymore than 26,500 for this truck that has 15k on it go and buy your self a new taco, you can get a deal very close to that especially with great credit and it will be new.

    Go check for yourself at a local dealer. obviously your mind is set on buying a USED 15k mile truck for top $$ because is has 20" blang wheels.
    do you what YOU want to do. We are just suggesting that you can get a brand new one for the $$ you are paying/going to pay. and if you can't take an opinion...don't ask for one in a public forum.
    good luck to you and your future purchase man

    dude it seems like you are trying to convice everyone here that buying this ride is a good deal. While you have members that have knowlege telling you that its not. Semms that you are trying to help out a buddy by effin your self over. Not smart if you ask me.
