Q: When will Toyota have a national Year-end clearance sale on all the 2007 Tacoma?
I am looking to purchase a 4×2, 4.0 V6 engine, Prerunner access cab. I notice that all the other vehicles have large rebates such as the highlander, corrola, and tundras. Why not the Tacomas? All I see is a $500 rebate for access cabs and $750 for regular cabs. Not a good deal I think. I see that they already have the 2008 tacoma models out and I don’t see a difference in the appearance and options. The only difference is the price is slightly higher than the 2007’s. Will the 2007 models stay the same in their price? Or will there be any high rebates on these models?

A: I bought an 07′ in jan 07′ and the sticker was $25,200. I got it for $23,000 with all taxes and fees included! Shop more than one dealer and get quotes on paper. The Tacoma is in demand and rebates aren’t likely but you can still work your price down. Tell them you are shopping against the nissan frontier and get a quote on one(even though you would never buy it)! Good luck!

Q: Toyota tacoma or dodge 2500 cummins?
Im looking at two trucks for sale a 2006 tacoma double cab sport 4×4 and a 04 dodge 2500 cummins crew cab slt 4×4 which do you think would be less costly to maintain which do you think would cost less to drive if i lifted it and which would would be worth more when i sold it?

A: You will likely see the same or better mileage out of the Cummins, especially with it being an “older” Common Rail 04. As far as longevity, the Cummins will outlast the rest of the truck, well beyond 250,000 miles if maintained properly. You can add performance upgrades to the Cummins and get 100+ extra horsepower just with a chip/programmer. That’s a whole different ballgame though. I don’t know much about Toyota’s but I can say that basic maintenance on the Cummins will cost more. The axles are larger, hold more fluid, the Cummins engine itself takes 12 quarts of oil vs 4 or 5 for the gas Tacoma. If you lifted either truck, it can be a draw on wearing suspension parts like ball joints and tie rod ends. The Tacomas are likely much smaller than the Ram, but it is relatively small and light compared to the big, heavy Cummins equipped Ram. I would expect the Ram parts to outlast the Toyotas anyway. You can fit 35″ tires without rubbing on many Rams with just a 2″ leveling kit, and some guys have managed to squeeze 37″s under them with no lift. Basically I would buy the Ram/Cummins. Diesels are in high demand and you will get much more when you go to sell it than you would the Toyota. Join a forum for more Dodge/Cummins research.

Q: Is the 2007 Toyota tacoma 2WD access cab worth the money?Does anyone own this model?
I live in Texas and the weather here is hot and unpredictable. I was thinking of purchasing a 2007 Toyota Tacoma access cab, 2.7 liter 4cyl engine, 2WD with SR5 package. Is this truck worth buying if I am only using it to travel to work 40-65 miles daily, haul groceries, and moving furniture for relatives. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated. I am planning to make the purchase in December 2007 to take advantage of the year-end sales. I also don’t plan on financing through the dealership. Any advise for financing is also appreciated. Thanks…

A: I have that truck same motor with auto trans. It is very comfy not cramped up inside and I am 6 foot 5. I had got 26.8 MPG with only 300 mile on truck with AC on and windows closed at 62 mph. I am very happy with how good the ac work pumps out good cold air fast. It also tows My ATV nicely and has good passing power on freeway. You will enjoy it.

Q: Why do people way over charge for Toyota Tacoma’s?
My BF is looking into purchasing a newer Tacoma. At least 01 or up (he prefers the 05 and up style but they are very costly).

Anyways I have been looking all over my state (Oregon) for prices. No matter where I look all the trucks are 2-5 thousand (or more!) over Kelly Blue Book value! We refuse to pay over kbb value for something because its a waste of money especially if its way over like all these trucks have been.

I don’t understand this. Its like every one/place that sells these trucks hordes them at a higher price then they are worth so people are forced to pay more. A $10,000 truck is selling for $15,000! Is it like this everywhere or is it just my area?

I guess it doesn’t help that he wants a crew cab (4-door) 4×4 V6 which are some of the more expensive models. We need the extra room (4 door) for when I start showing dogs and traveling so it has to be 4 door.

Is there anywhere I am going to find a Tacoma like this for sale around kbb price or are they all going to rip offs?

Advice would be great! Thanks for reading.
and to add you would think because of the recall they might have gone down in value a little bit. Well I guess not since people are still asking an arm and a leg for them!
ETA: No need to be RUDE! and no I will gladly pay someone for what a car is worth but not $5000 over what it books for I am sorry. I mostly just wanted to know if other people have experienced this in your area. It seems that ONLY Tacomas are like this no Ford trucks, no Chevy trucks ONLY Toyota Tacomas! Why?
LOL car lots buy cars for trade in value not kbb retail value. I know how business works. I have bought 2 cars at a lot which both were kbb value. Its not only the car lots its just people in general selling them. I have seen car lots over charge for other makes, but nothing like these tacomas. I would help him but I have a Scion TC I am paying off myself (which I got from a car lot at kbb value). I am not a moron and I am not bitching I simply want to know if other people have experienced just tacomas being more than kbb value in their area. So far everyone has failed to answer it.

Nice try Anthony I have owned several toyotas and 2 toyota 4×4s (pre-tacoma). They were all great cars.

A: Its not true that Dealers pay BB when they buy cars/trucks….they pay somewhere close to trade in..(if your lucky)…so if they are asking 5k over RETAIL value then they are padding it quite a bit…but they also know people are going to try to talk them down so they mark them up hoping to still make a good profit …its a buyers market right now for cars/trucks….the ball is in your court so to speak with the way the economy is….dealers have been hit almost as hard as realtors

I feel your pain…I’ve actually been looking at some Tacomas as well…somewhere in the 05 to 06 range…and honda CRVs….they all are still in the 14k to 18k range ….

I’ve found some good deals on CraigsList…..you just have to play the game and be willing to walk away with out the truck if you can’t get what you want : )

also toyotas just like hondas ……just hold value ….they are known to go into the 200k mile mark with out major issues

Q: are toyota tacoma and 4runners good vehicles?
i like the look of them but all of them that i see for sale are really high priced and have like 150-300,000km for like 10-16 thousand dollars, is this still a good deal, whats the average amount of km a toyota vehicle gets before breaking down for major repairs

A: These are exceptionally tough vehicles particularly the deisel which if you wish will run on bio deisel, as for the average kms it will depend on how the car has been used, if it has had frequent off road abuse and/or poor maintainence then this will seriously decrease the life span of almost all its parts. A good example should have less than 180,000 kms as most toyota engine that have been maintained will create their peak performance and power at around 150000 where every parts is well set and at maximum efficiency. Try to steer clear of imported vehicles such as the ’surf’ luxury 4runner which came with a turbo petrol engine but was less reliable than its simple brothers.
Also check if a service history of some kind is avaliable, if it by a non dealer workshop then it can pay to visit them and ask about previous work carried out, this can give you a valuable insight into what things have been replaced or recurring problems that have ocurred.
As for the average life span of these toyotas, with proper constant maintainence they are capable of living well past 400,000 kms before major engine componants are likely to wear out.
If you arent completely convinced of the bulletproofness of these models then you should watch the british tv series called top gear where i believe that they put on of the tacomas to the ultimate test, bashing, burning and even drowning it in the sea of bristol it was revived by one mecahnic, a couple of spanners and screwdrivers and a bottle of WD-40.
In short these utilities are pure engineering and earn their seemingly high resale prices assuming they are in good health.
Good luck with the hunt!

Q: are toyota tacoma and toyota 4runners good vehicles?
i like the look of them but all of them that i see for sale are really high priced and have like 150-300,000km for like 10-16 thousand dollars, is this still a good deal, whats the average amount of km a toyota vehicle gets before breaking down for major repairs

A: Anything built by Toyota is good. I’ve been fixing cars for 25 years and I drive only Toyota. I don’t get paid to fix mine.

Q: Car dealerships are always advertising a particular vehicle I want on the internet.?
I sometimes call to see if this Toyota Tacoma is still for sale and today when I called, I had already researched the vehicle they were selling. Their asking price was $2300 dollars over the maximum blue book price. Are most dealerships swindlers? Do they expect me to negotiate the price down by $2300 dollars. Do most of them tell wild stories about the hx of the car? The salesman expected me to believe the Toyota Tacoma was traded in for a Ford Ranger.

A: There are a few dealers out there who actually recondition used cars. Which includes the engine, transmission, interior, brakes, tires, suspension, et cetera. And usually they come with a warranty. You may want to inquire about that.

The dealership may just be greedy tho ;)

Q: Does anyone know what the charge/fine is for a second DUI?
My brother in law got his second DUI last night (GEEZ). He got his first one under the age of 18… now he is 22. Does the punishment matter for the state (CA), or the circumstances… (he was in a drive thru and a cop went up to his window) or does anyone know where I can find out the info on punishment? Asking because my guy really wants his brother to move to where we live and get out of that black hole of destruction that is our home town… lol. Anyways, I hope he learned his lesson, I’m thinking he might have to sale his 1999 Toyota Tacoma to pay the fine, which I thought was a universal $10,000.00 for a seconf offense. BUT I would appreciate any info.

A: Your brother in law is not going to Pelican Bay State Prison for 12 years for his second offense DUI. The person who said that does not have their facts in order.

You’re probably not going to get a 100% correct answer here, but you can start by reading the law on the issue.

Go here:

http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html

And search for sections 23540 and 23542 of the Vehicle Code. They pretty much spell out what the punishment can be…but ultimately, it’s up to the judge what it will be (though it’s VERY unlikely it will be outside the parameters of the statutory law).

Frequently, juvenile convictions don’t count once a person turns 18. However, I don’t *think* that’s the case for DUI…I think it counts against him as much as if he had been an adult. I don’t that for certain, and it might make a real difference.

Don’t get overly excited about the cop walking up to your brother in law at a drive-up window being the way “out” of this case. Ordinarily, if your brother-in-law was stopped at a drive-up (or in a parking lot or at a stop light or ….), and the police just walked up to him and said hello, he’d be toast because the police don’t need probable cause to contact someone like that so there’s no probable cause to be litigated.

I admire your desire to get your brother-in-law out of his home town. However, if you’re doing that to help him avoid contact with law enforcement and not to help him stop drinking irresponsibly, you’re only postponing the inevitable. His issue is not that the police seem to have frequent run-ins with him, his issue is that he seems to be drinking and driving frequently and only getting caught twice. I’d worry much more about that, if I were you and your husband.

My .02 cents. Good luck.

Q: 2005 Toyota Tacoma 2.7?
Just bought an ‘05 Tacoma with the 2.7 I4. Occasionally it has been hard to start and today if finally set an error code for the crank sensor. Truck only has 40K. I quickly tried to locate the crank sensor but without a manual I had no luck. Does anyone know if the sensor is on the front or rear of the block? Also, anyone answering this might know a little about Toyotas with the 2.7…..I have read some articals tonight about major problems with piston slap and bad cranks for 2000 to 2004’s. Does anyone know if the 2.7 was redesigned in 2005? If not…I might put this thing up for sale. I do not need that type of problem. This thing has 40K on it….I dont need another vehicle to work on all the time.

A: Well you went out and bought a Toyota and it turned out to be a piece of crap…. Happened to my best friend too
