    In Pennsylvania, it is against the law for car dealerships to open for business on Sunday. This works out quite well for those of us who want to casually look at cars without be harassed by salespeople! My best friend John and I loved to go to a huge used car dealer called CarSense (a much smaller CarMax-like franchise with two locations in PA and one in NJ; John bought his '06 Maxima here in 2010). I found this beauty on the lot in March 2011 during trip with John one Sunday, about a year and a half after my dad bought my 2010 Taco, and about two months before I got my license. The dealer where John bought his Maxima, and that we always visited on Sundays (and thus where I found this Tacoma) is Hatfield, Pennsylvania on Route 309. Ironically, it is next door to the dealership where my dad bought my truck new in 2009 (Peruzzi Toyota!)

    This is pretty much my truck (5-lug RC auto), but in Super White instead of Silver Streak Mica...


    March 2011:

    Hatfield, Pennsylvania

    I have no idea if that is the factory protective plastic, or the stuff that Carsense put in after they acquired it...

    Who in the hell puts only 437 miles on a new Tacoma before getting rid of it?!?! Also, I would like to point out the Carsense's "Sensible Price" on this technically used Tacoma (keep in mind these photos are from March 2011) is the same as the sticker price on my virtually identical truck when it was new. Again, my dad bought my truck brand new with only 20 miles on it in September 2009. After negotiating, and subtracting the money he got for the '96 Pathfinder he traded, my dad paid a little under fifteen grand for my truck. He put two grand down if I remember correctly, and financed the rest through Citadel at 0.9% (that's right, less than 1% APR in the middle of the recession)! He paid it off early like he always does (in 2013 I believe) and signed the title over to me in 2016. I think my dad got the better deal than whoever bought this truck...

    Also, why is the window sticker claiming the KBB value on this used Tacoma is almost $3,000 more than the new sticker price?!?!

    Even a decade later, I can't imagine what could have caused this unique damage...

    It looks like a shotgun blast peppered the tailgate, but there aren't any holes!

    This one has an aftermarket backup camera hooked up to a double-DIN touch-screen head unit, and it looks as though someone punched the screen because it’s cracked!

    Probably was a shotgun blast, with a light target load.

    Got my truck inspected at the dealer today and also got some brake work done (I get a 10% discount for having over 100K miles and I also get s free loaner car)! This is Thompson Toyota’s 2nd Gen inventory...

    This first one is a 2012 RC 4x4 automatic with 97K miles...

    There’s at least one 3rd Gen in my area owned by a realtor who uses it as a rolling billboard and to shuttle clients around, but this is the first time I’ve seen a Tacoma of any generation being used to advertise a jewelry store!
