"How To Buy Used Toyota Tacomas At Wholesale Prices!
There's Two Ways To Save!"
We happen to like Tacomas. We think they're a very dependable, durable and versatile truck with good handling, performance and surprising comfort. Not bad on gas mileage either.
We've had a number of them here over the years and they continually impress. We've been particularly struck with their construction quality (well, it's a Toyota, right?), maneuverability and interior space and comfort. It's just a solid truck.
Our customers also report lower maintenance costs and the ability to carry a lot of miles. Makes sense that the Tacoma is both an "Editors Most Wanted" and "Consumers" Most Wanted" award winner over at Edmunds.com.
Many body styles: One of the big advantages of the Tacoma is its availability in many body styles and trim levels, thereby meeting the needs of many compact and midsize truck shoppers. Regular, extended cab (Toyota calls it the Access Cab) and crew cab (called the Double Cab) are available along with both short and long cargo bed sizes.
In addition to the base model, there's also a PreRunner and sporty X-Runner model. The PreRunner has the appearance and suspension of a 4-wheel drive, but is not actually a 4WD. And the X-Runner has additional modifications that improve street performance 6-speed manual transmission, aero lower body trim, low-riding sport suspension, and 18-inch wheels).
And there is an off-road package for the 4WDs for those who need rough and tumble driving abilities.
Power: The Tacoma comes with either a 4-cylinder 2.7 liter or V6 4.0 liter engine and both are quite capable. The 4-cylinder comes with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The V6 offer the choice of a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic.
Our opinion: As a used truck purchase, in our opinion the Tacoma is a no-brainer for anyone who doesn't need a large size truck or a V8. You'll likely need to pay a little more than for one from the competition, but there is a premium required for a vehicle with this kind of track record.
However, the expected lower repair costs and stronger resale value over the long term will likely offset the higher purchase price.
We believe this truck is a "strong buy". And we can suggest two methods to help you save some substantial dollars when buying one:
ONE: We'll buy one specifically for you at a Dealer-Only Wholesale Auction. You see, we can purchase any make or model at big discounts to retail ... and pass these savings directly to you, whether it be for a Tacoma reg cab, access cab, PreRunner, X-Runner, 4x4, V6 or double cab.

TWO:
