Well good luck finding a deal on a used Tacoma

Pretty sure they don't exist

They do if you want to buy a 2wd. Look on autotrader and even Ebay in places that have a need for 4x4, like Colorado or Utah. You will find tacomas well below book value.

Then if you want to make side money buy a Suburu, any good Suburu and drive it out there and sell it. Any place that pretty much requires 4x4 will always be a Suburau and Jeep haven and they sell much above book value, while Subarus don't do as well here in the south.

I bought mine on an Ebay bid, sent $1k by Paypal that night, sent a mechanic to look at it the next day and send me dozens of engine and frame pics and interior and stuff. Then two days after that I took a flight to Denver and a bus to Boulder and picked it up and made a great drive across the west. Climbed Pikes Peak, saw Caddilac Ranch, went to a Saints game in Houston, good trip.
