street pilot Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Toyota might buy your truck back at 1.5x the retail value! http://www.ttora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95993 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 That's pretty awesome. I need to go buy some beat-to-hell, non-running Tacoma's w/ rust damaged frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 That's pretty awesome. I need to go buy some beat-to-hell, non-running Tacoma's w/ rust damaged frames. Hopefully they salvage the parts before scrapping the entire truck, because a lot of these trucks have great engines/bodies/interiors. Supposedly your registration needed to be active prior to this announcement, because that was my first thought too. Regardless, I think this is a very credible move by toyota.

verse Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Why would you link to something, that has a link to the original page? Why not just post the original link? http://blog.lexus.com/2008/03/living-up-to-ou.html Wow, as simple as that. I haven't seen any of these trucks in for inspections yet. If you have a Tacoma and want me to give it a good inspection by a trustworthy CR member, just let me know and I can get you in contact with one of my advisors.

There is a lot more useful information in the link I posted, including the link you posted, official bulletins that have been sent to dealerships, as well as customer experiences. Not that simple. Which dealership do you work at? I called Toyota West and the service manager is supposed to be calling me back since the techs had not yet even heard about this warranty extension.

verse Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 We just had the first Tacoma bought out that I've heard of so far. '00 Tacoma 4x4 with 160k on it bought out by Toyota for $18,000. Plus if you buy a new Toyota you get another $1k and $500 for a used Toyota from a dealership. If any of you have a Tacoma you could get it checked out so you can get a huge check.

verse Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 just told my brother-in-law about this he is headin to his dealership tomorrow. I know they aren't recalling every single one, but a lot of them. The dealership will let him know if his truck was one of the trucks recalled.

street pilot Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Its pretty easy to tell if they are going to buy it back, if there are holes in the frame its toast. The thread I posted has links to pdfs that show the qualifying VINs. I got my offer letter from Toyota last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammit Charlie Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I've been going to manufacture training for Toyota (T-Ten). Pretty much they check the frame out first for enough rust to crack the frame. Toyota is pretty good about taking care of thier customers.

Tractor Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Thats exactly the reason Toyota has risen to the top of automakers. We all know how the former big three handled some known issues over the years. I owned a `96 mazda 626 which the trans died. I found out that was a very common problem once I started looking around mazda forums and I also found that mazda never did anything except charge you for the new trans and labor. I didn't pursue the fix I just put a can of transmission repair gunk in it and traded it in:-) Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Thats the one nice, we will have a get a photoshoot sometime with both our audis and maybe a few other nice ones.
