nice TRD! Good Buy?

Hey ya'll
I have been thinking about selling my truck and buying a TRD and then putting a down payment on it and making payments from there on. This is something I would be driving for years to come and probably drive till it explodes. I'm gonna look at this one this weekend.

Was also thinking about maybe a Chevy S-10 with the Zr2 package, but I don't know because of all the horror stories about the front suspension.

Thanks for any feedback

lol Chevy...you had me going for a sec. I think you could get a better price on a Taco TRD. If you plan on driving it until it dies, recall, its a Toyota and that will be a VERY long time, especially as rust is taken out of the equation.

That deal sucks!

You can get a V8 Tundra for less than that. I have a friend that just got an '04 Limited Tundra 4 door V8 for $14,400. The market just isn't supporting prices that high right now.

my friend has one...

its very reliable and a damn good truck (his only letdown was that it was an auto)

but 15k for that is overpriced. Look for one thats 10-13k

Just to let ya know, u can get a 07 tacoma for 17k

I bought one brand new from the stealership a 2000 ext cab, v6, sr5, TRD.

180,000 miles and it's just getting broken in.

You can find a better price than that one though.

Toyota's are still expensive in Canada. I'd pay that for a truck like that.

that's way over-priced. low mileage won't credit THAT much value to any vehicle.

that's just a bit over-priced. check out nadaguides.com or kbb.com to find the value.

I would negotiate and then make a payment plan, however I would probably try to get it for 8000, and the recall on it is 10800, does the recall ever expire?

8000 seems reasonable. Take the VIN to the dealership. They'll tell you if it's still valid because they do give you a window of time before it expires. I just recently took my 1991 4runner in to check on a recall from a few years back, and it had expired two years ago.

Good luck.
