Gonna get a 2005 Tacoma
Hey guys, I just paid off the 4runner. I am going tomorrow to get my Tacoma. Have you guys seen anyboards like this one for tacomas? I was talking with the car salesman, he said he would get me a family discount for 250 over invoice if I paid him 250 in cash. Do you guys think this is a good deal? I was looking at edmunds and these Tacomas are basically selling for MSRP because they are so hot right now. Please give me your opinions.

tacoma and 4runner is pretty similar so you can use this board, and try yotatech.com for any additional info.

When I had my '98 Tacoma, I think this is the forum that I frequented...

Something was goofy about that....I've driven many 05 Tacomas and the mileage is at least as good, if not better than any 4rth gen 4Runner's.

I know I know. It was just something that i read. Not to sure as to when i read it, but someone got a loaner, which was a 05 taco, and they said that it got terrible mpg.
Can't remember who wrote it, but i know i read it.

Maybe the loaner was still in the break-in period??

I have a 2005 DC Taco PreRunner for about 2 1/2 weeks now .
Thai, I think you can get VSC with Stability, but they are hard to find, that would be a special order.
The fuel mileage on mine is anywhere from 16.6 mpg to 22.2 mpg. The engine is still breaking in, just turned 1800 miles tonight...

I have a 98 2wd Prerunner, with the 3.4 V6 and the BEST i ever got was 21.5. That's, fill up, get on highway, set cruise at 60mph for the whole tank.

Hey,
Invoice + 250 is a descent deal. I bet though if you waited until the end of the month you could get invoice though. The reason they are giving you that deal is because the invoice nowadays is padded with a 2-3% holdback. Make sure they don't make you pay more than $100 for the doc fee.
Good luck, those Tacos are sweet!!

The dealer gets 5% that's included into the invoice on every vehicle!

Trolls, I have several friends with new Tacos, driven hard they still get better mileage then my V8 Runner, identical driving I get 13mpg hardtake offs catching lights in manhattan, 05 Taco same driving, 17mpg.
2 less cylinders burning gas compared to a V8 means it uses less gas
