Should I buy a new or used Toyota Tacoma.

Here some information you might need to know.

JMO, I would buy new, ya never know what the used one has been thru or how it's been maintained. Now the price difference isn't that much either.

I've learned my lesson years ago buying used...unless haven't the funds, or you personally know the party that owned the vehicle before and how they took care of it, your taking a big risk buying someone else's problems. That said most 2019 and newer tacoma's imo, work pretty good. Toyota has corrected many of the earlier complaints these trucks had. I can say my 2020 sr5 v6 works very well.

And now they probably cost the same ! I can sell my '16 trd sport w/44 k on it for the same I paid for it in '18. There was an'16 SR5 dble cab long bed for 36k and it had 56 k for mileage WTF. But I love my truck

When I was looking there was not much price difference between a used or new Tacoma. I went new for that reason making my truck the first new vehicle I have ever purchased. I was 35yo at that point in time.

When I bought mine there were no new ones within 100 miles of me.

Used 2015.

Back in january of 2020 here, there were plenty of new double cabs, and some long bed double cabs, but no new v6 sr5 access cabs in the color and options/tech package i wanted east of the mississippi. Used tacoma's were non-existent. 3 months later these same dealer lots were nearly empty, and you could no longer buy one under msrp.

I was given the choice ,order new (in other words what I wanted for color and trim) or buy used.......used got the nod because I did know where/what the truck went thru....price was irrelevant as stated earlier......

Not a chance. They load correctly and are upright on the phone and other forums. Gremlins at work lol

Welcome to the club...i'm left handed to. When i started school back in the late 1950's my teachers thought i was retarded, or something writing everything left handed. They use try tying my left hand behind my back, and making me use my right hand. Well that never worked out, and they wanted me to repeat the 2nd grade...never forgot them for attempting that.

I used to get a steel-edge ruler across the knuckles back in the 60s. The teacher would put the pencil in my right hand and I would write everything backwards.
