My friend told me about this and I checked it out here.

His Tacoma is a 2000 with 100,00 miles. We live in a high salt environment and he has driven his truck on the beach regularly for the past 5 years.

This took place today in Massachusetts. He went to a dealership and there was a rep. from Toyota NA on site. They put his truck on a lift and struck a few spots on the frame with a leverage bar. In one spot, a small chunk of metal flaked off and exposed the inside of the frame rail. the rep. said "its a buy back" as soon as he witnessed that, and he is getting a check for approx. $15,000.

This is crazy, im hunting for a local truck right now for cheap to snatch up and bring to the dealer.
