Around here, in California, those Tacomas are not cheap by any means whatsoever I think my brother bought a used 2006 Tacoma for about $16,000 and 8 years later he sold it for about $13,000. Those trucks are not cheap even used they hold their value like a Mercedes-Benz perhaps even better.
oh my lord - no wonder my son in law keeps asking me when my business will sell the 97 Tacoma extended cab, with bedliner, and shell. ( meticulous records ) I told him we‘d want 3,000 for it
