Thinking about trading in my Red Taco for a Speedway Blue Taco.

HAHAHAHA Some how i knew something would come up about my dice. One of my friends rags on them every time he gets in my truck. I got them on a new years trip to vegas so they have some meaning but i guess if i get the new blue truck, ill ditch them.

 

OH I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!! How much did ya pay for her?

 

Speedway Blue is the sexiest color when accented with black. You will not regret your decision if you go blue! Observe

 

Since the milage isn't that big of a deal (4x4 + 1 mpg vs 4x2, I read) why don't you just have it painted to the color you want? I think you would save $$$ big time going this route...hell you could even find a color nobody else has and drive us all nuts.

+1 For Not trading in and getting a CUSTOM color!

However I actually can't stand the Speedway Blue as well, I don't like Blue. I'm sure plenty of people don't like Radiant Red or would be caught dead driving one. Its all personal preference imho.

When I walked into the dealership. I had my mind made up, I wanted the Radiant Red or I will NOT buy a Tacoma. However the salesman didn't know that as I knew the stock they had. So I got the Radiant Red @ a killer price.

However that NEW Magnesium Grey has me . That would have had me in a pickle for the longest but I would still have picked red.

Stay with what you have imho. However if its going to be a truck you want in the long run. Just do it then. Take the hit and enjoy it for years to come.

RED and BLACK is the best combination, lol.

tic tac that would be the parking lot and i dont know how that oil spot got into that shape your right that is weird

 

stew fri i think it was the end of the month and i got it out the door for 24,500 they took 3000 off the sticker. As tacomaman knows herrelson toyota at the end of the month will do some nice deals. My wife has a toyota seinna XLE got it for 28,000 before tax title and tags.

 

i would keep what u have. don ttrade it just to change the color. unless u can break even wich i doubt on a 1 year old truck your probally gonna lose your shirt.

 

Chack sand springs toyota in Atl they have 4x2 prerunners out the ass i'm sure they have a speedway blue one

 

Jesus your dealer sucks. You are aware that our trucks are made here in the US so an Earthquake in Japan wouldn't really effect the amount of trucks in your region. Also, TRD Sport is made in 4x4 and 2x4, same with TRD Off Road. When you trade I strongly suggest you go to a dealer thats not as full of shit as the one you bought your current truck from.

 

OMG! I had same experience at my first toyota dealer. Bunch of lies! Lie after lie! They pushed their limit so I went to Ford.
One lie I remember they siad truck was made in Japan which is why it expensive. This was false. Truck made here! Another lie was they said truck destination charge was 1,000 bucks because of location. This was false as this charge is standardized at one set price depending on the vehicle - doesn't matter if I'm next door to the manufacturer, I'll still get the same destination charge. I honestly think they were trying to take advantage of me because I was new to Toyota.

 

We all know how much more honest those church going Ford dealers are.........

 

Well just wanted to update everybody and say that i decided to go ahead and be crazy and trade in my Red Tacoma for the Speedway blue one. I know, i know but i actually got a really good deal on it and im just waiting for it to get to my dealership so i can test drive it and check it out. Ill post the numbers and some pics later this week when i pic her up : )

 

You're test driving paint? Drive around with the left directional on too during your test, make sure it flashes at the same speed as it did on the red truck.

Oh my, keep the windows up, I think you are getting too much fresh air!

It is the same truck, Just a different color right? Maybe try and incorporate the Blue and the Red, like someone mentioned, HAVE A COLOR no one else has. That is your money though, far be it for me to tell you what to do. Wouldn't want the same to be told to me.

Enjoy. If you are going to do a bank job do it now, that way you'll be linked to a Red truck and when the "PoPo" are looking for you, you'll have a Blue one.

 

LOL, If only banks had any money right now anyways. Na, im trading it in for a speedway blue NON 4X4 Tacoma Sport. I know ill never use the 4x4 so It also has a bunch of little upgrades to like back up camera, radio, and stuff like that but yes over all im just test driving PAINT! SPEEDWAY BLUE IS THE COLOR I WANT allthough i did see the new magnesium grey....I must say WOW, it looks awesome but to dark for me
