Tacoma Stalking, er...uh, Spotting, with Charlie™ (4th Gen Edition)!

Yeah, I paid $35K out the door for the '18 TRD OR 4WD that my son is driving now. At the time I felt that it was fair price considering there was a PRO in the showroom for like $45K if not a little more (been a while - lol). When I gave my son the '18 I looked at getting another 3rd Gen, but the prices were just crazy IMO. After seven months I found a one owner '08 2nd Gen TRD OR 4WD for $12K and I bought it.

 

So your son is actually driving something newer than you?!?!

 

TSS with AEB, better airbags. Good call.

 

Yes, a lot more safety features on the 3rd Gen

 

Agree, though only a small percentage of buyers pay that for a 4th gen. Even an OR with upgrade package can be had for under 50k with very little negotiation, and there are plenty of sports, SR and SR5s out there for less or far less. In today's market it's certainly reasonable for such a reliable brand that keeps its value. The high end price points for the fart gens are overrepresented on forums like this since people like to show and talk about their buying power. It's part of the social media distortion of reality.
