Hi,Scotty what is your thoughts on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma standard transmission, Double cab 4x4 with 78,000 miles. Dealership vehicle asking 29k. Thoughts on reliability and price? Thanks.
is it TRD or SR5?
TRD
Honestly its was probably about $33k new. Price is a bit high considering mileage. I bought a brandnew 2015 Tacoma SR5 Quad 4x4 auto V6 for 28,900 before tax etc. All the 2 to 3 year old ones were 25K. Went for new. They hold there value so well it almost pays to go new.
That is too high for a five year old truck with 78k on it. You can just buy the new version of the truck and use it for 100,000 miles and still get $25,000 if you try to sell it. Tacomas have crazy resale values I would never buy one used; they also have a rusting problem on the second generation, but the 2016 is the third gen and I am not sure about it. If you get a new one, you will not have to do any maintnence and get it 5 years newer and 80,000 miles lesss for only about $4000 more.
