Trading my 2017 for a 2019

Trading my 2017 for a 2019. Test drove a 2019 Tacoma with 200 on the odometer miles and the dealership said that it is new. The mgr said that the an employee drove it for about a week. He said that he can get me a good discount, because of that. What do you guys think? Should i pull the trigger on it?

 

Depends on what a "good discount" means .

 

Still waiting for the mgr to show me the numbers

 

Will see what they offer for my trade

 

What does it have that your 2017 doesn't? You'll take a big hit on the trade.

 

Dont negotiate in payments, negotiate the total price of truck. Either way on deals like these the customer always loses.

 

Yeah, that doesn't look like a Tacoma.

 

Just make it sure it is indeed New.

I asked them to show me the carfax history

 

Right, that is just a picture of what's in front of me.

 

Are you upgrading because you want the TSS? Or...whats the reason for upgrading? Worth taking a loss on your current truck?

 

Just make sure that you are signing a MSO "manufacturers Statement of Origin" that is only available to the first buyer of the vehicle.

 

Yes, I want the TSS and also the technology package. But the main reason is because i need $$$ and i should have about 15K of equity on it. Im getting the exact same color & model.

 

Look at post 65 in that thread. His showed new, but it wasn't.

 

Trading your 17 for a 19 is losing money bud, yes 15k in equity may mean lower payments or a check back, but you're still losing money on a liability, they aren't investments, you're not cashing in a 401k. But if it solves your need now and worth it to you, who am I to say otherwise. Good luck.

 

I don't understand how this works

 

It doesn’t

 

I dont understand why a "employee" would be allowed to drive a truck for 200 miles.. there must of been a issue with the truck, check engine light that wouldnt turn off, something. Dealers dont just give brand new trucks to employees to run around and have fun with. If it was a managers "demo" then it should of been titled to the dealership.

If it has more than 10 miles, its not new, its used.

 

Most of the time it is a "manager" that wants to drive a new model for a little bit and then slip into another vehicle.

 

My truck has 10k miles only. I paid 33k for it. Im asking 30k for it, and offeering 34K for the new one.
