they do hold their value well which is good for resale but sucks for buying because everyone is asking a mint. The wife and i wanted a new suv we have owned lexus/toyo products forever but the prices on the used stuff was just nuts it had to have a gillon miles which i didnt want to be affordable. We ended up with an escalade it was alot more bang for the buck bigger size, lots of features sure its not as refined or whatever but it was much less expensive and parts are dirt cheap if something breaks its much cheaper to fix.

ARFCOM: If you dont pay 33% more for a product 70% as good that will last half as long "it's not a real truck"
OP, your co worker probably over paid, but not by much. Foreign vehicles last. 100k miles is nothing. They retain a massive amount of value as well. If only america could even could close to competing |

I bought my car new in 2010, and got a good deal on it.
I bought it new cheaper than 3 year old used car models (2010), with like 40k miles on them. |

The whole used market is babnanas right now. No one can afford new vehicles in the Obamaconomy, so they've skyrocketed. Used 2005 Honda Civic coupe with 80,000 miles? $10,000. |

Great News!!!
My 2004 Tundra SR5 Double Cab 4x4 only has 42K. Cowpunk |

Bought a 95 Pickup in 2001 for $7600 with 80,000mi. Sold it in 2006 with 197,000 for $7300. Hard to argue with that. Has made every purchase/sale since then disappointing.

I noticed you didn't refute my claims I owned a 2003 Tundra and it was the biggest turd I've ever seen. Don't get me started on the frame trying to rot itself apart. Been Chevrolet ever since and now drive a HD Duramax and the wife has a Suburban. All of the Chevy gassers I've owned have gone 200K+ and were traded in without ever showing a bit of problems. |

Hell, that deal on that Toyota is nothing out of the ordinary (Sad to say). You should see what used diesel trucks are brining. Especially the desirable older Ford 7.3s and Dodge 5.9s. You would be freaking shocked what people are paying for these older used trucks. Some of these trucks have serious problems like rust, transmission issues and extremely high miles and they are still getting insane prices. The used diesel truck market is so screwed up, it is totally crazy.
So many factors are causing these prices, but most of it is caused by the ridiculous cost of the new trucks, ease of working on these older trucks and the stupid emission equipment and garbage like DEF on most of the 2006+ diesel trucks. Unless something changes for the positive, I have a feeling many of these older diesel trucks are eventually going to be like the late 60s and early 70s muscle cars, they will hold their value no matter what since they are basically irreplaceable by law. Think of them like pre 86 NFA machine guns, I'm not saying they will increase in prices like that, but the Gov made these rules and these older simpler trucks will never be able to be made again. The current used car/ truck market is like everything else going on in this country/political climate today; upside-down, backwards and messed up. |

I just sold my 01 Double Cab Tacoma with 165,000 on it for 11k last month. I am kicking myself for selling it, loved that truck.

I don't think the used car market as it has been for the last few years will be a short lived phenomenon.
Vehicles last longer and new vehicles are getting more expensive. |

looked at selling our 04 DC a couple of times. Dont put many miles on it per year. KBB value has gone up every time I check it. Seems when new trucks go up in price the used market adjust accordingly.

Hell I wouldn't pay 20k for a new loaded Tundra. Not a real truck IMO. View Quote Your "opinion"??? I bought a new Tundra back in July. It looks like a real truck. It rides like a real truck. I have hauled a couples of things in like a real truck. It certainly cost as much money as any other vehicle that would be called a truck. One of these days when I decide to get rid of it I will certainly get real truck trade in value on it. I would like to see your data proving a Tundra is not a "real truck". Do you own one of those substandard clunker things made by the UAW? You know who the UAW is, don't you? They are the ones that finance the Democrats. You know who the Democrats are, don't you? They are the ones that want to put this country further in debt, ruin heath care, raise taxes and take take your right to keep and bear arms away from you. |

My wife and I went out to kick some tires the other week. We ran across a 2008 Toyota Sequoia. We looked it over, and test drove it. It had 110k on the odo, and two accidents showing on the carfax. Asking price? $22,000, and they weren't budging one bit off of the price.
