Thoughts on buying this 2016 with multiple issues?

I have heard that once a car goes to a salvage title that the warranty is voided. I would check to make sure.

 

No but hell no

 

Somebody in your past is trying to protect you from impending disaster. Heed the warning. Why do you want to fix someones else's problem?

 

Frankly I would never buy a used Taco - this one or any other. Prices way too high for used.

This article from Jalopnik "I Can't Believe People Are Paying This Much For Used Toyota Tacomas" sums it up nicely

 

And welcome to TW.

Hopefully you get the gist of what most members are saying.

I did not know anything about Toyota Tacomas before becoming a member, but there is a "world" of knowledge here. Hang around, and you will be better informed.

There are used car dealers that might try to sell a vehicle that is not sound- not saying that the dealer selling the SR5 is one, but any good newish Tacoma should not be having the problems you describe.

Good luck.

 

Don't do it! Now, if it was 10k, it may be a consideration, but $26k, you can find a better used truck for that price, without the headaches.

EDIT: just because the title isnt a salvage or lists it on Car Fax, doesnt mean it is not salvage worthy and the current blue book value is only in the $25k range.

 

Can't believe you would actually consider it for almost $27k...

 

"good" ones, new, have problems. I wouldn't sign up for a jacked up truck with all sorts of electrical issues

 

Buy a nice 2nd gen...less trouble than the 3rd gen

 

I think you can get a brand new 4 cylinder, standard 4x4 for that price!

 

From the initial post.........

 

OP ---> <---All of TW

 

No

No friggin way

 

I wouldn't touch with a 10ft pole. I've been in the insurance industry. These vehicles have multiple issues and are never correct.

 

You are crazy if you buy this............You will have nothing but issues! However, you will have a high post count from all the threads you start asking how to fix shit!

 

$7,150. Edit: on a good day

 

Not trying to be a jerk, but I can't believe you have even gotten this close to buying that bucket of shit. He was trying to drive the shit bucket to your house and it broke down before you could fork over your cash. You should feel lucky and grateful it didn't make it to you.

 

Sorry misread.

 

Could be just a loose gas cap. There's about 3 lights that go off with that.

I'm with @Tunngavik

Buy it.

But the price has to drop another 5k now. Let the warranty handle any issues the first year, then trade it. You'll get all your $ in trade value, so you'll have had a free truck for a year.

I mean other than the down time it was getting warrantied.

Or not. How lucky are you feeling?
