I’m about to buy a 9 year old truck for 10k. It’s got 90k miles but it’s in great shape. I don’t need all the modern bullshite that comes with newer models. I’ll probably keep it for 5+ years or until repairing it costs more than it’s worth

I’ve needed a truck for a while and this beats spending 70k on a new one

I'm going to have to look that way too. I'm 44 and never had a new vehicle but wanted to change that this year, but the way the prices are looking and the new features on these trucks I'm going to settle for used.

I drive a 2015 Tacoma with just over 143k miles on it. I’ve never had any significant issues with it, just normal stuff like replacing the battery, brakes and tires. I hope to get at least another 100k out of it. I like the idea of a new truck sometimes, but it’s just not worth it while mine still runs fine and meets my needs. Not having a truck payment is nice, too.

Where did you find it? Not specifically… but a dealer, FB marketplace, parking lot ?

Bought a 2011 last year for $9500 out the door.

Engine is in great shape. Everything works, and I paid cash.

That's actually a really good deal. I can't find a decent sized truck with less than 150k miles for that price.
