thanks guys, while its settled and they have to buy it back, its still not over though as now I have to supply endless paperwork for the process of detailing the exact cost of everything spent so they don't dare give me a penny more then I spent.

yesterday I had to send them the late penalty info that is already spelled out on the finance agreement they already have in their hands and today they insisted I get this info in a letter head document direct from the finance company saying the website account info forms can be forged and were not "legal documents to be relied upon" in their opinion so I had to get the finance company to fax copies of their original documents to them.

it will be 3-4 weeks more of crap like this before I finally bring the truck to be inspected before we transfer the truck to them and they hand over the check.

I have a 2004 first generation Tacoma with v6 3.4 engine and 115k miles which I think is better then any new truck being sold today so im going to keep this one until one of us dies lol. (first gen tacomas were the last ones that were still made with the metal beds in them, after that they are all made with the plastic beds)

back in October I bought a 99 Tacoma with a 4 cylinder engine so I had something to use as a DD but it didn't have enough power to pull my boat an I had to drive below the speed limit when towing it so I just recently traded that one in for the 04 taco with the v6

I know what you mean about holding onto your vehicle. Until recently, I was driving my 2003 Suzuki XL7, had 182,000 miles and I planned to keep driving it until 2020 or until it died, which ever came first--but that car had very few mechanical issues, just a couple of O2 sensors and a window motor replaced in 12 years, so I would have kept it forever at that rate. Unlucky me, some punk kid ran into me and totally destroyed my faithful car last month.

i went through 2 tacomas, 4 cylinder then a 6 cylinder, but they arent good for hauling a boat with so i ended up buying a 2006 4runner that has a V8 and rides smooth as a caddy

i finally won the lawsuit because i had video evidence. their position was brand new trucks are supposed to shake and they always did shake like that. the video i had would blown that out of the water so they agreed to full refund and clean exit so i got nothing but i was made whole again which is fine by me.

check out my video that won me my lawsuit

Seems there are a lot of issues with the Silverado series, if you look at Youtube (?) If the car was older that could have been badly-made universal joints or an unbalanced prop shaft, but they also showed dfferentials out of alignment or faulty gearboxes with newer ones
Happens not so often that the customer has a chance against the windmills of company management. Glad you were able to give it back

So the V8 in the 2006 4runners are good engines? I've got two 1998s with with 3.4L and they are a bit weak for towing. Do you find the 2006 roomier with better front seats as well? I'm not really fond of the seats in the 1998s. Adding a lumbar cushion has improved things a bit.
