    Not sure if the deal is a good one, but these thing really hold their value. I bought my 2012 new base cab 4x4 for 20k+. I can't believe it's current value.

    Yeah and I plan on driving it until it dies which is hopefully many years from now. I bought a 4runner in the early 90's with 100k miles and it drove great for another 80k until a drunk driver hit me but I'm ready to get another Toyota.

    Don't do it! That's how the man gets you! You buy a very well priced Tacoma...you get on here...and you spend all your money...then your broke living out your truck, towing Ford's out of ditches for a little bit change...

    To me it would be worth it if the trucks condition was good. A lot of trucks I looked at looked great in the pictures, but later found significant dents and scratches all over. Some had cigarette odor and that was just a no-go

    Really gotta get underneath it.
    Under hood frame etc.
    Not sure how the extended frame thing works from a dealer they say it needs to be purchased by a certain date.
    Looks pretty clean maybe a little steep for our area but they hold their value.
    Low mileage though.

    Yeah it's 100 percent rust free and has clean title. I also uber on the side just wondering how it will work for that. Is there plenty of leg room in the back seats?

    Price seems average, C fax looks good Came from a good area (not salt belt) you can't go wrong with a Tacoma. Check with KBB on pricing. Acceptable room in back seats depends on position of fronts it's give and take.

    Do it try to work the deal nit pic everything you can find. If it’s that clean yes. Keep it till the wheels fall off. Not sure about the room I have a access cab. But I don’t regret my Tacoma at all.

    I'm an honest 6' tall and I've ridden in the back a couple of times. No issues.

    If you carry an extra person or two from time to time....you'll want the DC. The AC offers no more leg room and there is no comparison in comfort level between the DC's real seats vs the AC's jump seats. In fact, the rear seats were the reason I went with the DC. My family thanks me for that

    Looks nice.
    Carfex shows replaced headlights in 2015 with 66k miles. It could be just the haze issue or something. The rest looks good.
    Good luck :thumbsup:

    Solid advise!!!
    I am pretty much the only one usually and use a good portion of the ac. I did not fit in the reggie
    cab. The ac part is for head room beer and subs. Not for people.

    I’m super happy I went with a double cab only thing I would go back on on my Taco is I wish I had the long bed. So I could sleep back there while camping. Also do you want rear locker cause your sport won’t come with one I’m pretty sure, but you do get that sweet scoop and 17’s. Kinda your call on what you need. This site crazy helpful on making you second guess your new taco purchase lol

    I was happy with my DC purchase as well back in the day. You get the best combination of 4-doors and Taco reliability. Never intended to use the Off-Road features but I'm glad the vehicle came with it.
