it's still cheaper buying new than used...FOR WHAT YOU GET......go find a new Tacoma I agree. With a new rig and warranty I know exactly what it is going to cost me per month. With a used one there are no monthly payments but then the tranny goes out unexpectedly. It never happens at a "good time", you are without a ride for a couple of weeks and are stuck with a large repair bill IF they can find the parts.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I work too hard to give it away.
Get me a beer please.

It never happens at a "good time", you are without a ride for a couple of weeks and are stuck with a large repair bill IF they can find the parts. I have heard this a million times. I guess it's what you want. Myself I prefer no payments. No payments mean I'd I want to change jobs. Get hurt, ect I don't have a bill that is due each month. Over looked is licens plans are cheaper as is auto insurance. Save you money that would go to a payments plus the other savings and when it's time for a repair or new vehicle you can pay cash. To many people buy into its got a warranty an new = problem free. And that's not the case. New breaks also. O and incase anyone is wondering I paid 3400 3 years ago for a 97 ranger with 52k miles on it and tires with the nipples still on it. But the tires were 11 years old and one blew out at 75 on the interstate 3 weeks later so bought new tires. Then the motor blew. So had a rebuit put in. It's got 107k miles now and I have done expensive repairs but am still way ahead of having $600 a month payments high insurance and license plates.

Don't buy a Ford with the Triton V8 3 valve engine, unless you want to spend $$$ to have it rebuilt. I have a 2001 Triton v8 but have no idea how many valves its got. Paid about 3300 for it about 4 years ago with 65k miles on it. Redid the front suspension and tires on it and I think 2 coil packs. Spent about 2200 more on it since purchasing it and figured it cost me about a thousand a year. Only a 2wd but 7700 package and I pull a trailer with it with a few cows now and then. Not turned 100k miles on it yet.

Try some Sea Foam, that might help with that rough start if you run a couple of tanks with that. Might be way cheaper than a shop visit. Never try the product. Never beilve additives . I don't know about seafoam though

If you guys keep encouraging him to buy cheap used, expect a lot more posts just like this one.

New autos are not worth what they go for. Unless u have money to burn. There just not worth it of how made an what u get ..60 grand on new trucks or higher. I bought this one new, noone wanted a 5 spd manual is why. They add all stuff on ur financing. Freight from factory probly $6-$700 back in 2010. Add on to ur payment etc. Dealer then try stick u for more stuff which I didn't get. Extended warrantee, interior an some body warrantee , undercoat was additional $6-$700. All sorts stuff,ins. If u can't make payment from illness . Just anything they can sell u an they don't care if afford , sales tax is lot additional. License plates, all other stuff etc .
