I'm considering purchasing a 2015 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab V6 4x2 with 24k miles on it for $26k plus taxes and fees. It has the SR5 extra value and TSS packages as well.

I noticed the 2017 Tacoma brand new with same features has an invoice of $28k.

Is it worth it to buy the used one? Is buying at or below invoice possible? Will the 2018s push down the 2017 price much at all?

Enlighten me OT baws.

Change your title to "Toyota Tacoma boys" since you're talking about toy trucks

Not really. I did, but only because it was all I could afford at the time. Unless you like the older generation more, just buy new

Across the board, Tacomas seem to lose about $1k of value for every 10k miles though fwiw.

If the new one has the same features and is only $2k more, you buy the new one

not only is it new, but you will probably get better financing and/or rebates on a new vehicle that will make it a wash in the end

For $2000 more, get the one with no mileage

Those have really not gone up much in the past 10 years. I looked at them in 2007 in the $24k range.

And a factory warranty if the other one doesn't transfer

Troof.


Had mine brand new for two years, and had to get a new transmission because of factory defect.

Always get that factory warranty

This doesnt sound right. Was looking recently and a taco crew cab with V6 was still around 30k with basic features

Probably because it's a 4x2. But it's likely you noticed incorrectly

Truth. If I'm guessing correctly, the OP is comparing the 2015 V6 to a new V4.

Bought new for this very reason. 4k more for a new one and had warranty, etc. Just not worth the $$ for used IMO

I rarely advocate buying new over slightly used but for $2k you'd be dumb not to buy new.
