Looking for a small truck to haul furniture between my homes and wood for the fire pit and outdoor kitchen...and damn those (high mileage) taco's aint cheap. 2005, 200k plus for $10k or more...is there something special about these things?
WOW...THAT DEPENDABLE, EH?Tacomas and Wranglers hold their value better than any vehicle under $100k I’ve ever seen. It’s a mixture of their cult classic status and, for the ‘Yota at least, the fact that’s it’s damm near indestructible. Chances are, you’ll get bored or need something different before the Tacoma lets you down.

Dont go to hawaii. two towsand tree, brand new!
Actually, there's been a massive demand in used vehicles in general. I don't think I've seen it mentioned here, but Carvana I guess is burning through a lot of venture capital funding, and buying up massive amounts of used vehicles. I think there one was person who bought a used 18 GT, for XX, and last month Carvana offered him like 3K over what he paid 12 months back. Someone with a pickup got an offer of like 4K over what they paid a year ago. Another person said Carvana's offer was the same as they paid for their truck but the had it two years and put like 25K miles on it.
So yeah, anyone wanting a new car, check out Carvana. You do a 3 minute thing online, they make you an offer, a dude comes out, inspects and and cuts you a check right there.
funny you should mention this.
last year I was toying with the idea of getting rid of my 2013 Raptor super crew, fully loaded with 75,000 miles.
was offered $27,000, paid $43,000 in February of 2017. No thanks.
fast forward to this past week, I’m reading articles about used car prices, dealers short of inventory, etc and I see a carvana ad.
I punch in info for my raptor, now with 94,000 miles, and offer comes in at $32,400 !!!
they are coming Tuesday at 2pm to pick it up... I couldn’t believe it when I saw the price they were willing to pay. I’ve basically had the truck for three and a half years and it cost me $10,000.
I’ve got other vehicles I can drive till I find something I like to replace it.
nope i dont kinda new to trucks but learning this is the rock star of the mid sizedUm... yeah? They’re pretty good trucks. Do you disagree?
