That's a unicorn - a lemon Toyota (and a truck, at that). I've heard tales but never seen one.

Question is, assuming it does need a new system what are my options as far as trading it in for a new Colorado? Am I morally obligated to tell the dealer what's wrong with it? Is it a given that they will test the AC, even if it's freezing like say..tomorrow ?


They're going to test everything. However, I would find it impossible not to at least say that the A/C has been giving you trouble. I wouldn't bother to tell them about stuff you fixed and reasonably believe to be in good working order.

But, A/C is the single most important mechanical factor for resale in Louisiana after a running engine for a used car. Believe me - they will test it. So, tell them and maybe he'll go easy on you.

You're probably better off trying to sell it to an independent mechanic shop or A/C guy who can fix it at cost and flip it versus trading it at a dealer, just in all honesty.

That's not what I wanted to hear but that's what I figured. Man, I came extremely close to buying one a week ago. Looked at the Colorado and they had the red tag on one I wanted and 10% off. Came to my senses and said no then the AC went out on New Years Day. Perfect timing.
