If you want to make a deal,

pick up the phone and talk your  serious offer.

702-353-7500

I don't respond nicely to  lame emails that ask:

 "What's  your reserve?"

"What's your bottom line?"

"What's the  least you'll take?"

"What's your bottom dollar?"

"Do you have a Buy-it-Now?"

"What's it take to buy it?"

"What's you asking price?"

Emailing you a figure will  not happen but we can converse about it.

It's a  flippin' Auction! That means...your  number counts...not  mine.

Oh,  and by the way, if you've sent me an email with one of the  lame questions above, I'll instantly presume you haven't  taken the time to even read the content of the listing and  that you have no intention of buying at any relevant market  value figure. 26 Years in the business has taught me that  serious buyers read every line, look at every picture and  research well enough on their own to feel confident to make  offers.

Our  presentations are unmatched and we cater to the serious  buyers.

 

THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN WORK  YOUR DEAL IS TO CALL  ME!

 

My vehicles are so unique and rare that knowing what it  should sell for is nearly impossible.

That's why eBay's auctions...with serious buyers making  offers...works it's magic.

One owner, 2000 Toyota Tacoma Xtra Cab SR5  4x4 TRD with just 80,681 miles.  Beautiful Sunfire Red paint over a  gorgeous no accident history body.  Gray cloth  interior with power windows, locks, tilt, cruise and  deluxe CD audio.  With a truck this exceptional,  most sellers would simply give it a shine and call it  good.  We took the trouble and expense to have the  timing belt changed which, on Toyotas, is a critically  important and pricey scheduled maintenance item.   The timing belt service includes a new water pump and  coolant flush.  We also installed a new air filter,  front brake pads and machined the rotors  . . .

 

Back-story from  the owner...

So, you have  been looking for the nicest, best kept and  maintained Toyota Tacoma Xtra Cab SR5  4x4 TRD you can find...and you are here on eBay because  you have already seen a bunch in your neck of the  woods and they have all been less than even your  lowest expectation of quality. I know how you feel.  Every week I go to specialty dealer-only auctions to  find the best of the best in what I call "niche  autos". I'll see roughly 1500-3000 local cars on my  lists every week. First, I sit at my desk and  overview the online lists and pick out the cars I've  come to know are hard to find and great for my  business model of exclusively marketing on eBay. The  Tacomas are always hitting that list when they show  up. A handful show up between the three major  auctions and a few local classifieds. These trucks  are sought after, especially in condition like this.  I am extremely picky about what I buy. Ownership  history, service history and condition, condition,  condition are very important to me. All too often,  trucks that are beat to snot, and still sell for big  money. This is one you won't want to let slip past  you. Original spectacular paint, stunning original  interior, a service history that was by the book and  including recent service done by us...what more  could you want? A great deal? OK, got that covered  too. No, you will not be buying this car for  wholesale or low book values, but you and I already  know you get what you pay for. If you want unmatched  quality, service care and condition, this truck is a  rare find. Listen to what Foy, our writer had to say  about this tacoma.  Then really look at the service  history recorded below. Look at every picture very  carefully and see the stunning condition up close  and personal...then make your call with your offer;  you won't be disappointed.

The TRD package (Toyota Racing  Development) is more than a pretty decal; locking rear  differential, progressive rate springs, Bilstein gas  shocks, skid plates, 31-inch tires and black fender  flares . . .

 

Mud flaps front and rear, pop-out side  glass, chrome bumpers/door handles and the shiniest paint  you've ever seen on a 14 year old truck . . .

 

This Tacoma also has an aluminum tool box  and a spray-in bed liner . . .

 

First generation Tacomas (1995-04) have  epic reliability and impressive resale value.  Besides  routinely fetching absolute top dollar, we usually close the  nicer examples on the very first listing.  Even high  mileage trucks are a hot seller for us and a Tacoma with  80,000 miles, at this condition level; we should be  able to pick our very best buyer.  That's how good  Tacomas are and this Tacoma has had the required (and  expensive) timing belt service performed . . .

 

Spectacular interior with  power windows and locks, cruise control, tilt steering,  am/fm/cd/stereo, console storage, dual front airbags,  fold-down rear jump seats and a lot more . . .

 

Reclining bucket seats, 3-power outlets, cup  holders, round tires and clear glass; this Tacoma has it  all!

 

                        3.4 Liter DOHC V6 Engine   (5VZ-FE)

                        190 horsepower @ 4,800/220 ft-lb torque @  3,600 RPM

 

                        Looks like a brand new truck under  here and we can see skid plates up front, under the  transfer case and fuel tank . . .

 

Full size spare and a big-ass muffler.

A note from the owner.

I am a “used car dealer” but before that,  I’m an automobile enthusiast.  I love original rare and high  quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve  been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding  selection of high-demand, high value vehicles.  I specialize  in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that  were cherished by their previous owners.  I have an  experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my  preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I  have therefore, built my business and reputation around  finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.   Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict  requirements but a car must do something for me on a  personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the  bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional  vehicle.  If nothing about the car excites me, it probably  won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of  business.

With just four employees and no sales  people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may  at first glance appear.  It has taken great care and effort  to create such an organization and often, an unusually high  investment in a particular car we are about to list.  To  sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my  corner and Chris, owner of A-Best Auto Repair  in Henderson, Nevada has my back.  He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute  most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no  small detail unimportant.  They do an exhaustive 130 point  inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes  their methodical investigation.  Experience has shown that  everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back  to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy  customer that says good things about me.  Moreover; it  allows my writer to describe the car with ease and  confidence, something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true.  If major issues are found or the  cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too  expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one.  I simply  absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it  at auction.

After the vehicle is fully sorted it  arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious  eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see  on eBay.  He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else  tells him about the car as he combs over every inch,  researches its history and documents originality and  authenticity.  Historical significance, rarity, special  features, possible modifications and much more are used to  accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.   Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150  high resolution pictures that I take myself.  The pricey  equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the  very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a  logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with  close-up shots of every square inch.  I provide detailed  views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a  lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty  of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep.   Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so  meticulously clean.  This reconditioning can sometimes take  several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially  prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each  car lovingly receives.

Usually, I’ll also include a high  definition video that shows the car doing its thing.  If  it’s a fast car, we film it going fast.  If it’s a 4x4  you’ll see it crawling up a hill.  In every case you will  hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system  and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser  thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent.  How many  “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty?  We do.

No “dealer,” on-line or in the real  world, takes it to this level.  No other seller or  organization provides you, the buyer, with so much  information.  I do this because it is the only way I can  convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or  feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I  say is the truth.  All the above is necessary for me to stay  in business while keeping integrity intact.  I want every  buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on  eBay.  To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that  are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought  it.

If you have any questions at all, please  call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500.  If your inquiry is  sincere and your offer  serious, you’ll find me the most  accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with.  If  you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my  bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the  conversation.  Until you are ready to actually pull the  trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest  nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a  number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste  your time, or mine.  I am after all, a “used car dealer.”

Serious buyers know the maximum they can  offer.  I then must simply decide if I can sell for that  number.

If you hit the reserve, the decision is no  longer mine.  I must sell at that number.

When you bid, you understand and                          agree to these terms.

Research for this ad was                          done with all due diligence toward an accurate                          presentation of the facts.  All information herein                          represents our sincere effort to be correct.  If we                          have made any errors or provided information later found                          to be inaccurate, we will correct these mistakes and                          resolve any issues that occur as a result, as far as it                          is within our ability to do.  Descriptive words                          like "perfect" or "flawless" are subjective opinions                          because nothing is perfect; flaws are inevitable.                           If you question what you see, feel free to inspect our                          vehicles in person or by a professional inspection                          service strictly prior to the close of the                          auction.  Post auction inspections are unacceptable                          and we reserve the right to sell to the follow up bidder                          immediately.

A Note for Potential Victims

     

 

     

 Please let us know if you see our vehicles        under listings of obvious question or if you receive a "Second Chance        Offer" with any e-mail other than ours.  You can easily recognize the        crooks with the stupid low "Buy it Now" price and the direct e-mails off the eBay        system.  They'll never disclose a telephone number or address        either.  If they won't talk to you, return a call or can't send you        a copy of a title to the vehicle . . . DON'T SEND THEM MONEY or fall for        their sneaky e-mails and redirects attempting to get your seller ID and        password.
