Will this fail the rust inspection?

I stripped my taco, lift, wheels tires, floor mats, bed cover. hitch reciever, 6-disc changer, and everything else.....

 

Looks like a fun meet!

Oh, wait

 

it has to have rot holes. they did a hammer test on my 08. it cant have any soft spots either. its pretty bad how far toyota will push the saftey of your family before they buy it back or swap out the frame.

 

makes me cringe when i look at that photo.

 

poor taco's

 

so i dunno its a toss up i guess. going to ask my friend mechanic to look at it tomorrow

 

Yea, I just threw up a little looking at that! How sad......

 

....and if you look closely, many of them are crying!

 

i serousely feel like crying after seeing that photo


there is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomany parts i would "steal" i mean borrow in the middle of the night

also id take a few of them for myself too

who am i kiding id take all of them
no yota deserves that fate
(except the prius)

 

Is this true? Has anyone else had this experience?

I think if they gave you that response you could make the case that "I just bought this truck, after which I became aware of potential rust problems. You just told me my truck isn't safe to drive on the road, and you want to take it from me, but I have to drive it for 6 months first? What if it fails while I'm driving because you forced me to keep the vehicle?"

If that doesn't get the right kind of attention with the management I'm not sure what would...

 

They let you take off all your aftermarket stuff off..... so save the stock parts. I got $13,732 for my 2000 TRD. If the rust is not too bad you get a new frame, brake lines, bushings and so on. The check sure helped on the payments on a $30,000 truck. They offered a free rental, but I drove the 2010 and took it home. What a differance 10 years makes. $25,000 for the 2000 new - $13,732 for buy back, cost me $1,000 a year to drive the old truck. I must say Toyota made me very happy.

 

That sounds like a pretty reasonable way to prevent the profit motive...although I'm sure nobody here would thing about doing that From the stories I've read I don't think there is any way that they would let ANYONE drive off in a truck that failed inspection...maybe the 100% payout comes into play when your second recently purchased truck fails

 

Is there any paperwork for the 2001-2004 Tacomas like you have for the earlier years?
