That right there lets me know you're willing to overpay.

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


This is about the only time of the year you'll get a Tacoma near invoice, though, during the switchover period with the 2017s still on the lot. Normally you're looking at $600 to $1800 over is what they're actually selling for.

That used may sit there awhile until the 2017s are gone.

Either negotiate at least another couple thousand off the 2015 or just buy the 2017.

Also you usually don't have to pay invoice. If the invoice on the 2017 is 28k and it truly has the same features as the 2015 then the 2015 for 26k is overpriced.

I feel like the 2015 and previous are better overall.
These trucks hold their value, second only to Wranglers as common vehicles go.
You hit a point where they stop going down. Because of this, it's one of the only vehicles that you can trade in every so many years and basically keep the same note, because of high demand for used trucks. I have an uncle in law who does this. Every three years, new Taco, same or even lower note. Me? I've already decided to never sell my 2006. I used to say at 200,000 I'll replace the engine and keep in going. Well, 200,000 came, and the engine and trannny have never had a day of downtime. I sent oil from my last change in to be analyzed. (Place in TN does it for $25 including shipping). Everything still looks new, no metal, no water.
Fluids look new.
Only issue in all the time were squeaky leaf springs and clicking u joints.
The tire monitor system failed(didn't Need it) and two O2 sensors needed to be changed.


When my last truck hit 125k, it had an engine top rebuild and I had rebuilt the trans, and swapped the rear dif.
I'm so impressed by the truck. Best made vehicle I've ever owned.

Anyone got experience in a 16 or 17 with infant car seats in a double cab?

Been reading a lot of 2015+ tacos having tranny problems.

Google Tacoma and transmission problems. I dont think the recent Tacomas are as bullet proof as the older ones. A lot of recalls.

When I bought mine I looked at a used and the amount you would pay for a used vs new...didn't justify me going with a used car. New is the way to go. These things really hold on to their value.

I bought mine new because I would rather be the one selling to a guy like you for $3k less than what I paid for it 3 years later.

Also, get 4x4 instead of TSS, comes out to about the same price but you actually get some utility not just upgraded rims and badging
