Post subject: Tacoma's hold their resale value?
Archived from groups: alt>autos>toyota (more info?)

I'm shopping for a 05 or 06 Tacoma extra cab, 4 cyl, under 20,000
miles. No specific trim package. Based on the prices I see for these
used trucks, it appears that they dont depreciate rapidly. I may be
better off just buying a new truck from a dealership as the price
difference for used 05 or 06 does not appear to be substantial.
I've never owned a Toyota before, so I'm turning to this forum for any
opinions on depreciation and buying new vs. used.
Thanks!! |

Ralph,
Tacomas don't hold their resale value for anything. I bought my 1995 brand
new for about $12,000 off the lot, and after 11 years and 190K trouble-free
miles it's barely worth three grand. <G>
You won't likely see much drop in used prices until mileage gets around 70K.
With most cars that's a significant chunk of their anticipated life - but a
Tacoma's just about getting broke in at that point!
Your mileage, as they say, may vary - but in the real world my own
experience is not unique. My previous Toyota, a 1985 Corolla, I sold with
287K miles on the clock. It still ran fine but burned just enough oil that
it wouldn't pass the California smog test. I also currently own a 1987
Corolla hatchback with 135K on the clock and with proper maintenance hope to
see that one through the 300K mile mark.
One caveat - I don't - won't - live where roads are salted in winter so
don't know how susceptible Toyotas are to rust. If that particular cancer
doesn't get 'em, they tend to run forever.

The Tacoma is a good truck, but so are all of its competitors trucks.
Educate yourself, go get a total drive home price on a new Tacoma, Dakota,
and a Ranger, all similarly equipped and you will soon discover why a used
Tacoma is selling at that price. The Tacoma costs thousands more to drive
home new, than the others.

While you're there, DRIVE the trucks. Go for a REAL test drive.
Maneuver in parking lots, hit an interstate, drive some twisties...
It will quickly become apparent why people will pay more, for both new
and used examples of Tacomas. >> Stay informed about: Tacoma's hold their resale value? |

I (my daughter) bought an '02 in '04, and for $1500 more, we could have
bought new with electric windows and door locks. I'm still kicking myself
for not dumping the Used Car guy and striking up a relationship with the New
Car guy. Oh yeah, we bought a Tacoma PreRunner, 4 banger, 2WD.

My kid wrecked her Tacoma PreRunner a few weeks ago -- other driver's
fault -- and the insurance settlement was very close to equal what we paid
for the truck two years ago. >> Stay informed about: Tacoma's hold their resale value? |

If they did you must not have noticed they added state taxes to the value.

Yes, they did that too. But the price they paid was very nearly the price I
paid when I bought the truck 2 years ago, including tax -- and I bought it
from a dealership.
I recently bought a '95 Bronco that was stolen 2 months later, and they paid
me MORE (like, 150%) than I paid for the truck in the first place. Having
said that, my '94 BMW was settled for less than it cost me to buy another
one of the same year and model, so I don't get it at all how they valuate
this stuff. .

Yeah. I can hardly wait for the Christmas Card this year. I expect it to
have a cancellation notice in it. 20 some odd years with never a claim, then
4 claims -- 2 totals, a theft, and an at-fault collision -- all in the same
12 months. All of this from only two drivers too. It's an ugly picture ... >> Stay informed about: Tacoma's hold their resale value? |

We've got a child with two "strikes." One of them was no big deal and could
have been dealt with privately, without risk to the premiums, but the child
did not call her father FIRST, she filed a police report wtihout telling me.
Gaaa! We don't let her drive very often, anymore. God gave her two good
legs and I gave her one good bicycle.

That's what I expect the Christmas Card to say ...
Merry Christmas <your name here>,
We've enjoyed the relationship for these past <years of renewal here> years.
However, we paid out some hefty claims in the past 12 months and no longer
enjoy having you as a customer.
Have a Happy New Year,
The Automobile Club. >> Stay informed about: Tacoma's hold their resale value? |
