It is a 2016 model. Had 3K miles on it as a dealer "demo" but is
warranted and titled as "new". Peppy little sucker though and quiet.
All that matters is that "she" likes it.

Don't know if they still make them or not.

I got a similar letter about the Nissan Altima I bought just about a
year ago. "Due to a shortage of clean, previously owned autos we can
offer you 125% of the current market value of your 2016 Nissan Altima
towards the purchase of any new Nissan product.

Geeze. Gimme a chance to put a few miles on it first, will ya?



My buddy went to the GMC dealer for some new tires on his 2015 diesel
pickup. Came home with a 2017. They gave him $43k for the truck, $10k off
the new one, a $700 Costco gift card and some other stuff. So instead of
spending a grand for new tires, got a new truck for not a lot more.

I keep getting these cards for the 2009 Silverado 250HD with the
Duramax/Allison combo. But, I don't
think I'd want to mess with the DEF crap. With mine, I don't.


My son in law has a newer RAM diesel. DEF does not seem to be a problem.
Put a gallon in the tank and good to go for 5000 miles or so I think. The
new Trucks are nice. I am looking to replace my camper on the truck, but
my 2004 will bring about $25k, so only $55k more for a new truck. I think
I will stay with mine and the 160k miles.



$25K + $55K more for a new truck? $80K for a pickup truck? Wowser! And I
thought I was slightly nuts for dropping what I did plus a beat-up
Altima for a 4WD Taco.

That could include a camper.

It's not hard getting a *decent* pickup up to the $70K range.

I suppose. I use mine for light hauling, mostly landscape stuff for my
wife, and pulling a landscape trailer on occasion. We don't *do* camping.


Why do you have a taco truck? A car can pull a landscape trailer.

I like tacos.


Sounds like a racist comment.


Really? Liking tacos is racist? Actually, here I was referring to the
nickname of a Toyota Tacoma..."taco."

sure its racist Harry. You got all bent out of shape when the guy talked
about trumps anti-illegal stance when he said something about a 'taco
truck on every corner" Don't you remember that?


Besides, other than Harry I have never heard of a a Toyota truck referred
to as a Taco.



Well, *that* surely settles it. Sheesh. It's a term that actually
originated many years ago in California, and there are many, many
references to the term.

Here's a Pinterest page called Toyota Taco.

Tim, I remember hearing when they first came out the high school boys they were so popular with called them tacos. I've never actually heard someone call one that in person, though. I don't run with high-schoolers.

Must be a California thing. I never heard it but I did understand what
you meant.
There are a few of those "Tacos" on my street but nobody calls them a
Taco.
I doubt those folks in Washington say they live in Taco either.
