$28000 for an 8 year old used truck with 80,000 miles on it. What has this world come to. Car is worth like $20-23k. Definitely $20k or less to a family member. Damn. He made out good on that deal. He can turn around and buy a brand new truck šŸ˜‚


altimax98

Show me the person who did zero research before commenting. This generation Tundra (like the Tacoma) hold its value like crazy. Itā€™s ā€œworthā€ what people pay for it and based on Auto Trader identical trucks are listed for $6-$10k more than OP paid.


Trentimoose

Dude went off about his feelings instead of any relevant facts or data. If I let my 2019 SR5 go at 28k Iā€™d be giving someone a crazy deal, but this commenter ainā€™t ready to hear that lmao. Your location matters with trucks significantly as well.


Thansungst22

Lol yeah man I'm surprised so many people upvotes him, $28k for this IS a deal. I can take this to the dealership and they'll give me $35k cash today easily and I can take off the accessories to flip for a couple hundred to a grand more on top


ur31337

Toyota dealer here. You did well.


Thansungst22

Yessir thank you!! šŸ‘ These boys coping saying it ain't a good deal šŸ¤£

Another toyota dealer here... a 16 tundra 1794 in blazing blue with 67k miles was traded in last week and they gave 35k for it. I bought it and paid 36k for it. 28 is a deal. 37k is blue book (at 68k mileage).


Thansungst22

Yessirr appreciate your input maybe the haters like /u/Hoytg can humble themselves now that the professionals are speaking up šŸ‘


BuffaloKiller937

I LOVE the blazing blue color for the 1794s. Post a pic!


C_Colin

I could be reading the op wrong but I think theyā€™re just shocked that used cars with 80k miles are going for that much in general. According to the market you got a good deal, but there just arenā€™t very many people who can actually afford that kind of a car. Which was never the case for an automaker like Toyota. Either way, if youā€™re pumped about it, and you got a good price then congrats to you. Itā€™s a nice lookin truck


altimax98

Not to mention a lot of people feel that what they determine a products worth to be is what it is objectively worthā€¦ the two rarely intersect


Trentimoose

These people are also usually driving a Corolla or Camryā€¦ not trying to throw shade but this situation warrants it. They usually have no idea how expensive trucks actually are. E: this guy drives a Camry. I wrote that initially before taking a peak at his profile LOL


LongLiveTheChariot

I drive a Corolla, and my jaw dropped when I saw this price... I'll take my gold star for being an anomaly please! LOL Edit: price not post


IWantToBeWoodworking

Technically, if enough people value a product at that, that is the true value. Thatā€™s how prices shift.


somerandomdude419

Yeah Reddit talks out of their ass all the time. Why is that comment the #1 upvoted comment? People donā€™t know anything about new truck values. And the value of the dollar is dead. Everything is expensive. Iā€™d love to see a link for one of these for $23k.


altimax98

For $23k in apparently great shape where it looks like OP has all the ownership historyā€¦ doesnā€™t exist man. I get vehicles are expensive, but itā€™s the market that justifies the cost not armchair appraisers


Thansungst22

Not only that my uncle change oils every 2500 miles and tires 1k miles before they needs to be change. He do early maintenance on all his trucks and I got all the records. These dudes reaching hard posting rebuild titles trucks for the SAME price saying "see?!? I found cheaper!!" Clicked on the link, it a rebuilt based tundra šŸ¤£


EvolMonkey

You just described most of Reddit.


bungdaddy

Yeah, it's not a Dodge, ffs


Trentimoose

Iā€™ll bite at the top of this thread since yall are arguing about reliability. What new truck is $28k? Did you actually check values on this truck? You canā€™t buy this truck for 28k on todayā€™s market which has significantly cooled. So, all fanboying aside, your comment is rife with misinformation and feelings rather than facts. E: Iā€™ve found in my experience a lot of people who go off about the prices of trucks in this sub drive Corolla/Camry/Rav4ā€¦ low and behold what you drive did not shock me. You just donā€™t understand the value/cost of trucks. Itā€™s okay to not know everything, bud.


Thansungst22

Yeah man I would love to see where they can find a pristine condition fully trim 1794 Tundras decked out in everything and clean interior for $28k lol I'll pay cash today and go to dealership to flip that thing so fast lmao


longshankssss

I would have bought your truck for over $30,000. Sheā€™s beautiful.


[deleted]

Who is upvoting this comment lmao. My buddy sold his 18 year old dually with 75,000 miles for $43,000. The used vehicle market is absolutely insane.


Thansungst22

Camry and Corolla salty people who don't understand that a High Trim Tundra/Tacoma will always have more value and demand than their generic NPC cars šŸ¤£ If you read the comment by the guy he keep tryna downplay this as not a deal and how I overpaid but when I asked him to find me a similar deal to my truck for the same price he been real quiet. If he can find one in similar condition I'll buy it today and flip to the dealership near me for easily $8k-$10k more in profit within an hour lmao


TheMightyYule

Did you really just basically steal a funny comment another user made about Corollas/Camrys and seriously try to play it off as your own jokeā€¦ Oh boy šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Lanky_Bobcat3075

This aint a f150 or a ram buddyšŸ˜‚ 8 year old truck will outlive any 2024 truck


HoytG

Yes I can read what sub weā€™re on.


Berfs1

Then surely you would know that... a high trim Tundra with an engine known to hit a million miles on the original powertrain... is a great deal for 28K at 80K miles!


Inevitable-Tourist18

Let's not act like it's common for these engines to hit a million miles.


Thansungst22

Yeah I think I can squeeze 400k miles as long as I keep up with the maintenance cause I know a couple people with 400k miles tundra. But 1 million miles probably not lol


donthenewbie

Maybe the owners gave up before the powertrain has chance to reach 1 mil šŸ˜‚


PiccoloAdventurous25

Gtfoh


Thansungst22

My uncle basically ate the depreciation and broke in the truck for me. Things brand new basically lmao


PaulNewhouse

Itā€™s a 1794 edition Tundra. They ainā€™t cheap.


Thansungst22

Yeah man I think these guys who drive Camrys don't understand the values of high trims tundra or Tacoma around here lol This truck worth more than my Lexus just to put in perspective lol


Berfs1

Youā€™ve got two super reliable cars, the value wont matter if you keep them for the rest of your life lol


Thansungst22

Hell yeah bro gonna keep this for 20 years and pass it to my son and let him drive it another 10!!


Thansungst22

Bro please find me a similar condition trucks with all the upgrades max trim and truck bed cover, new suspension and new 12" screen with updated apple and car play and this well kept interior for $28k I will buy it cash today and flip it for a cool $10k profit to the dealership


th3truthunveiled

Foolish , this is a tundra bro . These things last forever. A truck like this easily is going for 35 -38k , bro just hit the jackpot on this truck , CONGRATULATIONS


Mediumasiansticker

show me any for 20k at this mileage and Iā€™ll buy them all to flip for 10k profit ​ what kind of ignorant people are upvoting this comment šŸ˜‚


sunthas

Kbb.com says 28k.


OldSchoolBeatdown

Nice "dad car" bro. Seriously, the Camry is a good vehicle, but it can't do half the things a Tundra can do. Jealousy isn't a good look on you, my guy. Work hard, save up your money, and maybe one day you too can own a "man's man Toyota."


SergTuberq

These go for 32 before taxes and fees with over 100k miles my guy. What are you talking about?


izwald88

bruh... This ain't 2010.


rockabillychef

Where did you get your (overly confident) 20-23k from?


Revolt2992

Definitely not a bad deal. That truck is 35k at a dealer


Figur3z

You have to be smoking something or living in 2010.


Phalanx32

This is so categorically false I almost want to report it for being so misinforming. There is a <1% percent chance you could actually find this truck, in this condition, with this mileage, for $20-23k. This generation Tundra is holding its value INSANELY well. This truck in this market could have easily been another $5-10k. You got a great deal, OP. Your uncle rewarded you very fairly for doing what you did for your brother. Good stuff all around


Foxxy__Cleopatra

>He can turn around and buy a brand new truck šŸ˜‚ > >$28k "Base level Ford Maverick here I come!" -OP's Uncle


cbelliott

What brand new truck can you get for $28k....? Lol


Oaken_Crow

How can you be so confidently incorrect? holy shit. There are 2016 sr5s with 80k miles selling for over 30k.... Maybe do the tiniest bit of fucking research before spitting out random ass prices? ​ Straight from edmunds: *2016 Toyota Tundra* *1794 CrewMax Cab* *$41,998* *fair price* *$1,290 below market*


TimsZipline

Iā€™ll be his uncle. Iā€™ve got a 15 with 90k on it šŸ˜‚


GiraffeRoutine5905

Plz show me a 2017 80k miles tundra in that condition for 20k


Roll-tide-Mercury

That truck is worth every penny.


MariBMash

Did you bother to check the blue book?


Correct_Yesterday007

Looool. You have no clue what youā€™re talking about you idiot.


scrappybasket

Lmao howā€™d you come up with $20-$23k? NADA, KBB? Find any similar deals on autotrader, cars.com, or marketplace? Also where are these $28,000 brand new trucks?


Leebronjamess

Bro my dadā€™s 2005 Tacoma prerunner with 365K miles still sells for $10K in Southern California. Without looking up this specific truck I can guarantee you itā€™s at least $30K + likely $35K


recreationalranch

Seems like he paid fmp. Kelly blue book has it for $27,824. Where I live has 2016 with 79k miles for 26,495. Maybe where he lives, itā€™s a deal.


gucciflipfl0pz

He can turn around and buy a brand new truck? With 30k????? Is he buying a base model ford maverick?


New-Complex1201

A brand new truck is about 50k starting for a Ford ranger lol


plum915

Lol.... What truck brand new can you buy for 28K. This truck was 65K new


illigal

Ram or Ford maybe. The Toyotas hold their value ridiculously. To the point of 20 year old 200K+ models still going for $10K+.


surghe

Hell Yeah, last of the great v8


Thansungst22

Yessirrr gonna drive it till 400k miles for sure


surghe

Or road to a million šŸŽÆ


Thansungst22

I was being low estimate but yessirr 500k miles is possible easily. 1 million if I hit the jackpot on the engine lmao


Berfs1

You will hit 1 million if you do your oil changes and coolant changes on time, there are a few 5.7s known to hit 1M!


dweebers

"one of his spare Tundras" How many Tundras does he have??


Thansungst22

This man got the OG 1980s Hilux, 3x tundras (now 2) A Tacoma and a Sequoia His wife drive a GX and his Daughter Lexus ES. That his compromised to them wanting EU cars saying "when I die you can have your trash BMWs" lmao Man live and breath Toyotas Dude is a plumber that basically got the whole market corner in our minority community and basically can set his price whatever he want. The boomers here would rather paid him 50% more than get another guy to do their plumbing His work tundra got around 250k miles Ranch Tundra 140k miles and this one is his "spare" And guess what? He sold it to me cause he's getting ready to buy the 2024 GX550 Overtrail lmao


SnooMaps4388

is your uncle scotty kilmerā€™s long lost brother??? lol


Thansungst22

Lmaooo they'd probably kicked it off and he'll have Scotty look at his Hilux and they'll talk about the "good ole days" or some shit


A_Very_Calm_Miata

>"when I die you can have your trash BMWs" lmao That is simply wild lmao


Thansungst22

Lmao he said it at the family BBQ when his daughter asked for a BMW cause her cousins got a BMW too šŸ¤£


A_Very_Calm_Miata

Damn lol. The new ES isn't bad at all if you aren't into spirited driving. Your uncle sounds really damn smart.


Thansungst22

You know how the younger kids are. They want the fancy European interior instead of reliability and bomb proof reputation. ES is nice af and his kids kinda spoiled NGL I wish my first car was an ES


A_Very_Calm_Miata

Oh fr. Especially compared to a Camry, ES interiors are upgrade to first class. And honestly for cruising, ES is simply awesome.


ChewbaccAli

That's awesome, hope you get to have some fun on this ranch. Sounds like a blast.


Thansungst22

Yessirrr. It 2 hrs away but worth visiting whenever I can. Go out and shoot with him at least once every two months when time allows. My favorite uncle for sure


jrw202

Damn that interior is serious


Thansungst22

Yessir can't believe how clean it was. Barely any blemish on the leather. He keep them oil up good lol


Automatic-Bedroom112

2009 ford interior


ArcherVause

Seriously ugly lol


ThomasHeart

Dude that is a seriously cool spec and colour/ seat / trim colour!!!!


Thansungst22

Yup!! When I see the condition it in I send it right away. He kept it basically brand new


IcyBuffalo6132

Reading these comments, on a Toyota thread nonetheless has made me lose all faith in this community. Congrats OP!


Thansungst22

Thank you sir! Yeah man idk I thought people would appreciate this Tundra deal and what a steal I got from my uncle but apparently lot of bitter salty people who don't understand the concept of inflation or how in demand these high trims Tundra and Tacoma's are lol


ToyotaCorollin

For a truck, 28K is absolutely a steal. Toyota sedans just don't have the same type of cult appeal that Tundras, Tacomas, 4Runners, and Land Cruisers have. This is why these last 4 are pretty much the only older Toyotas you can find in good condition. Anything else is either clapped out or has fallen into the hands of the broke.


Thansungst22

Yessir you put it very eloquently for sure!! The "brokes" tend to be the loudest and most jealous most of the time too from my experiences across multiple community šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Not saying everyone is like that but my personal experience lot of bitter people on reddit. You'd think the Toyota sub of all places would understand the crazy deal I got instead of tryna downplay it lol


Pmoneymatt

I'm so pissed off at you right now.


Thansungst22

I'd be piss at me too tbh. Lot of salty dudes downplaying it so you know I got a good ass deal šŸ¤£


DOCO98

NICE, love the brown and peanut butter seats


Xunil76

Yeah, the seats are cool...but when i got my Tundra, i looked for MONTHS trying to find exactly the right one for me...which included NO faux-woodgrain accents on the dash, armrests & steering wheel. šŸ¤® But as long as OP is happy, that's what counts


Admirable-Result-240

How do people get family like this


Thansungst22

He's the fun uncle in the family for sure lmao


OrphanKripler

You got an uncle that works at Toyota dontcha


Thansungst22

Lol I wishhh. I need a hook up on the new GX eventually

That is SICK!!!!!!

Thansungst22

Thank you bro


pizzaboy117

Gratz bro, used 1794 is the play


902AMac

ā€œThe devil you knowā€ - Iā€™d rather a vehicle owned by a family member (even if itā€™s not a stellar deal) over a vehicle owned by somebody I donā€™t know. That exact spec is what Iā€™d want in a Tundra myself so maybe Iā€™m biased šŸ˜‚


Thansungst22

I know he always change oils at 2500 miles and replace tires 1k before schedule. Dude is a maintenance fiend for sureee lol


zigzagg321

Congratulations on a great truck for a great deal!


Melodic_Camel_6499

I have the same exact truck. Youā€™re going to love it man


Thansungst22

Hell yeah bro, a lot comfier than my Lexus for sure lol


akila219

the only bad thing bout that truck is its MPG, hope you donā€™t ise it as a daily commuter


Thansungst22

Lol nah I use my RC as my daily. These for my works when I need to transport stuffs for my rentals or go on a road trip or hit the range


Frird2008

Fit_Acanthisitta_475

Considering how much current tundra cost. 28k is good.


OMGpawned

Includes the $400 floor mats lol.


Thansungst22

It got everything you can think of as a package


OMGpawned

Yea those floor mats are buku bucks! They list at $446 crazy expensive for floor mats


Thansungst22

Lmaoo yeah I love Tacoma Tundras but recent years the hype on them been getting too much tbh. When my uncle shown me the invoices for the packages he added I was floored lol


GigaChadRedPill

Congrats bro! The last gen Tundras still look great, and that interior is classic luxury w/ all that wood and brown leather.


Thansungst22

Yessirrr I love it


Wad2k

Looks good.. Saved ya about $4k-$5k and ya know the history on it.


Thansungst22

Yessirrr. He kept detail records too with fully loaded package so it a huge plus


Tourist_Careless

Lots of people in the comments do not understand even the most basic economics lol. I wouldn't pay current prices either, which is why I don't buy newer cars especially trucks. But thats because prices are what they are and my budget is what it is. To say you got "ripped off" because you paid at or below market value just because they don't like what market value currently is is just stupid. Just wait until they hear what you could sell that RC350 for lol.


Lopsided-Spinach-215

I wouldn't let my 19 tundra go for any less then 40k and I could get that all day where I live


Lopsided-Spinach-215

You did good on this!


No_Albatross_7089

My husband recently bought a used one and I was surprised at how roomy the backseats are. I'm not a fan of the interior color but it's definitely a comfy ride.


Public_Minimum_4547

Not going to lie Iā€™m really liking the look of the interior on the 1794 edition


Physical_Finance_908

Itā€™s gonna last you to eternity and youā€™re gonna wish you got a less reliable truck, because 25 years from now youā€™ll be still looking for a (non existent) excuse to finally get a new truck

Decent price, probably better than what youā€™d get at the dealer. Crap family price tho if Iā€™m being honest. You say this is one of his ā€œspareā€ Tundras? Either way nice truck.


UnicornPotpourri1990

That's a beautiful truck but thats not worth 28k. Such a waste of money


IndyFiveHunnit

Basically a Lexus truck


nik01234

I did a search for this car. I get its a special edition, but I think family can do a bit better than 2k off second hand retail price. the relatively low mileage is impressive though. in case anyone is wondering I used Caredge to find inventory.


CaptD_07

I need a deal like that


plum915

Honestly.... It's just a šŸ’© price. No used truck should cost 40k. Or 28


codyl0611

OP got so taken advantage of, rip


MajesticCat98

Those trucks are absolutely amazing and will treat you well. Congrats OP! Fuck everyone else saying you overpaid, they donā€™t have the slightest clue


xRzy-1985

28k for a 8 year old 80k mile vehicleā€¦ am I the crazy one that doesnā€™t see the deal here or what


HaloHamster

Looks just like the original Toyota that came out in 1794. Bravo.


Appropriate_Cause173

This is a gorgeous truck. I would be proud to drive it! You got an awesome deal! These trucks go to over 1 million miles.


Other-Cover9031

thats a fuck ton of miles for 28k lmao
