#550 of 921 Went to Woburn toyota today. by mcalautt Dec 05, 2008 (2:38 pm)
Replying to: mcalautt (Dec 04, 2008 6:26 pm) no rental. they failed the truck... I love it.. 1st they thought it was in the 95 - 00 range.. so they said I cant take the truck and I have to take a rental.. they said if I did not take the rental then I cant get the rental at a later date because toyota does not want to be responsible for anything that could happen if I took the truck. I said I have to take the truck as I have stuff to take from it. I said I doubt toyota is going to pay for my remote starter so I am taking it out. I then said that my truck is an 01 and they said "ohh well then they are not doing rentals for 01 owners because its not in the 95 - 00 window". so I guess what that must mean is, toyota is 100% positive that premature frame failure that can cause personal injury and/or death, will not happen if your tacoma is an 01 or newer.   so now I wait for the call..

Replying to: mcalautt (Dec 05, 2008 2:38 pm) mcalautt: They can't force you to leave your truck. All they did was inspect it - it belongs to you. I had a service tech tell me the same thing. When I raised HELL with the Area Service Mgr., he said the service tech didn't know what he was talking about. He stated: "You have three choices: (1) You can leave it here take everything out of it and begin driving a rental for 30 days; (2) You can take the truck with you and AFTER ISG contacts you about meeting them with the truck, the keys and title, and they pay you, you can leave it at that time, THEN get a 30 day rental; (3) You can take your truck and drive on your merry way and you don't even have to take part in the buyback program.   I chose 2. I drove my truck for about 3-1/2 weeks while waiting on ISG, I scouted other purchases, then turned in my truck to ISG when I got paid, THEN I drove a loaner car for 30 days until I bought another vehicle.   Tim / Abbeyr4aol.com Replies to this message: mcalautt (Dec 07, 2008 3:54 pm)

#553 of 921 toyota offers by blorch Dec 08, 2008 (4:12 am)
After my initial offer of 11,100 I kind of complained a lot about the KBB value and asked when they established it. When they called me back about it they said they had increased the offer to 13,200. this is 150% of their KBB value which I still think is low. They didn't give any specific reason for increasing the offer. Truck is basic 01 4wd extra cab SR5 4cyl 5sp
#555 of 921 150% by daleyplanit Dec 08, 2008 (1:55 pm)
If you got 150% for your 2001 and newer Tacoma, could you please post   - your truck's miles, trim, and basic info -date of the offer - your first name - your city and state - the name of the representative you spoke to   I'm building a case to get 150% for mine and it would help me a great deal to have some corroboration about the new deals. Thanks a ton!!!!!
#556 of 921 Frame Help by tmiller159 Dec 09, 2008 (10:28 am)
Replying to: mattz88 (Jul 21, 2008 5:30 pm) It is important that those of you with 2001 and newer Tacoma's with serious frame rust follow the correct procedure to get satisfaction for your complaints. You must file a formal complaint with the NHTSA as a minimum, like those of us with 95-2000 model year trucks did. When I did this a year ago October 07, I came here and asked people with similar complaints to do the same. By March 08, there were 3000+ formal complaints filed with NHTSA. The NHTSA has more horsepower to deal with these issues than any of you do alone so do it right and follow the path to success. It takes time and patience to get results but you will be rewarded for doing so. Go here: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/index.cfm and get started now.
