Bye fellow 3rd Gen'ers

Well after 3 1/2 years with the TL yesterday was its time to find another home. With buying a place this fall I needed to lower my debt, so I needed to get either a older cheap car or a lease. I went with the latter. A local bought her, and he is super excited about getting on Acurazine and checking out everything that can be done to her.........even though most of the things have already been done lol

Well last night I picked up a new 2009 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab Off Road TRD. Not to bad with the current promotion I paid $2500 down and my payments after tax are only $193/month












After everything I will still be swinging thru, I will probably be in the Off Topic section more. But I will definately stop by to check out the progress you guys are making.

Thanks for everthing over the past years, you guys are truely a wealth of knowledge

Car went as is with everything on it. It sold for the right price I needed, without needed to worry about parting out. To big of a headache......

I have a few items left over that I will put on the bst but thats like floor mats and a few small items.

Yeah I was suprised at what I got. It was a 3 year, 10k a year. I drive between 5-8k a year so it works out well.

For sure, made to many friends on here to just leave!

I know, there are quite a few leaving. I think its normal though given the fact that people with 04 ond 05's have had their cars 3-5 years now.

Yeah its a lease, so probably won't do anything major. Meatier tires once these run out and maybe a in dash navi system in a few months.

wtf lembowski!.. after all the sweat and love you put into that car you sold it.. damn.. how much did you owe on the TL ? (edit: nvm.. I saw in your 4sale ad - $17k)

Nice trade though.. Stay on top of the rear diff service for the Tacoma's & Tundra's. My Tundra is a joy to work on because there's so much space!

It it worked out well for me.

I was considering the Tacoma and the Frontier, all the reviews pointed towards the Tacoma. It didn't hurt that they were able to put me into a stellar deal.

- good choice..

That new 4.0L V6 is mean too.. my gf's brother has the almost the same truck (TRD V6 Double Cab) and he hauls ass.. it's no comparison to their new 5.7L V8 though..

Yeah that V8 is mean, I drove a Tundra just to try it........wow is all.

The V6 is more than enough for me, I couldn't talk myself into a 4 cyl though. They had a 4 cyl 4x4 there that was tempting but couldn't do it.

Everything was on the car and sold as is. With my work schdule I didn't have time to do anything but clean the car prior to the sale......

Sorry guys nothing really to part out......a few things might make their way on to the bst, but its nothing performance wise.

Toyo's are awesome trucks, I thoroughly enjoyed mine. I had a 2001 Tundra V8 before getting my '06 TL. You definitely built a sweet ride man. Good luck with the new ventures.

Toyotas are great trucks I had a 2001 Tacoma and we (wife and I) currently have a 2004 Tacoma. They are like a rock, never any problems and just so great to have. Only downside is friends will ask if you can help them move stuff now that you have a truck haha

YOU FINALLY SOLD IT!! Damn, I'm extremely surprised it took that long, considering the car itself was worth like 9k after you deduct your mods and labor. What a lucky bas*ard whoever bought your car!

Congrats, and farewell! You should be proud of your 3g!
