Replying to: mcalautt (Dec 04, 2008 6:26 pm) 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..

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 |

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!!!!! |

I dont know if this is a poor joke or not because I know the guy there... He claims toyota has now extended the wauranty from 01 to 04. sounds good right ? he also claims that toyota is going to pay to have them put my truck on a new frame!. Let me tell all of you who dont know how the auto business works.. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION... your truck will never be the same.. it will rattle, things will break that normally wouldnt.. its a MASSIVE job, a job I would only recommend if you were building a rock climber or something to beat on in the mud.. not your daily driver. 99% of all dealers pay thier techs flate rate. so that means they will be told that a job pays 2 hours for example and the tech would need to get that job done in 2 hours or less to make money.. so.. rush the job and get it done in 1.5 hours and u still get paid the 2 hours... so can you imagine the scope of this with replacing a frame? There wouldnt even be enough room to do this type of job in most shops.. its not a typical job.. I told them NO.. and he is going to relay the info... stand by.
