Trading in Taco

Don't worry, this isn't a thread bashing the Taco so I'm trading...

I'm trading the Taco to get the wife a mini van. I hate to do it, but it's the right thing to do for us right now.

My real rant is with the dealer (Nissan dealer) who is trying to stick it to me. They are telling me they can only give me $18k for my truck! See sig for truck details, it has 29,000 miles. He's giving me the bad gas mileage thing because it's a truck blah blah blah. Anyway, I told him to stick it where the sun don't shine and am playing the waiting game now. That's all...

DONT BUY A NISSAN

Get the Toyota or Honda van. They are the best. Nissan has terrible quality and service. I will never, ever, no matter what, buy another Nissan until the day I die.

Sell the Tacoma, don't trade it in.
The dealer is there to make money. He's not going to give you what you could get by selling it.

You might get a better deal on your truck at a Toyota dealer. Sounds funny but see what CarMax will give you for your truck. You don't even need to buy a car from them.

Get a truck cap and then your wife can use the truck as a "minivan"?

I couldn't agree more. I traded in an '05 Altima 3.5SE for the Tacoma and I will never buy another Nissan.

Man, your awesome Tacoma for a mini-van for your wife! Now that's love!

Don't trade it in. A trade-in is ALWAYS a rip off. Put it on Craig's List for free and sell it for thousands more than you will get on trade-in value.

Sell it privately...

I have a Nissan...I had an '05 Armada and it ended up being a lemon. Nissan was very cooperative and I didn't have to hire a lawyer. I then purchased an '08 Armada and have had zero problems so far. Going on 12,000 miles and I love my Armada.

Why was my post moved? I posted it in the Tacoma forum because it was a Tacoma post...oh well, I'll be finished with this site and it's mods before long I suppose.
