Trading my 2017 for a 2019

Since they didn't want to show me the carfax, I just walked away. No bussines today.

 

From what you had before, paid 33k and getting 30k, so that is -3k, then another 4k for the new one equals 7k.

 

I think you need to wait 4 years or so before the depreciation on the truck slows down before you can actually get a decent trade off of it.

I might get a 401k loan to solve the$$$ issues. I will probably wait until the end of the year to see if the 2020 is refreshed, if not i will probably get a 2020 with tech & technology package then.

 

If you do the trade just to get a few upgrades, you'd be throwing money at the stealer (sorry dealer guys) and giving up future economic gains.

I have a '16 so when the TSS safety upgrades came out as std equipment, I though about it long & hard.
But the long/short of is that it doesn't replace or equal by far good driving habits. Also there are much cheaper simple add-on options to choose from.

Some of those maybe conveyed stick-on mirrors, or some members have installed RAV4 mirrors.
Additionally, I installed the Thinkware two (front/rear) camera system which warns me of lane departure and when a vehicle gets too close in front, all for much less money than a trade.

And as an added bonus, I don't have to worry about failure or out of adjustment issues that can run into over a thousand to repair once the 3/36 warranty is gone.

Just a few thoughts
Cheers!

 

You save the most tax money by not buying a new truck. You already paid taxes on your 33k current truck, I don't see how you are "saving" money paying additional sales tax on the difference between your 31k trade and 34k new truck.

What're you trying to free up $$$ for? If it's to pay bills and such you definitely should seriously consider selling it and buying a much cheaper used car.

If you are trying to buy a house or something, it's still not going to work very well getting a new truck to free up equity.

 

Probably because you make bad choices, see this thread for example: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/trading-my-2017-for-a-2019.589742/

 

How much did they offer to mark off the new one?

 

I thought about doing this sort of thing awhile back, going from a Sport to an Off-road. After a week of thinking about it, I realized it wasn't worth it. It's paid for and aside from the OEM battery dying, I haven't experienced any real problems. I'll likely be holding on to this truck and buying a DCSB O/R when they refresh it.

 

I traded my 17 for an 18. Owed 1700. Now owe nothing & have the title in hand.

 

LOL. That is this thread

 

With dealer options it was 40k. They dropped to 35K, but i told them that I can get those numbers in a new one with 0 miles

 

They will probably call you tomorrow, getting to the end of the month so dealers need their sales numbers.

 

I might also keep it until toyota refresh it. Unless i get a killer deal before

 

Saw that. I won't get a new truck with more than 10 miles on it.

 

Right before I walked out, the Mgr offered me 31K for my trade, but at that point, I really didn't want the "new" truck with 200 miles.

 

Did they say 31k for your 17? I’m skeptical you’ll get that much on trade in. More like 26-27.

 

Yep, 31k. kbb says 29 to 31k trade in.
