But it is what it is.

I bought this Tacoma from a Toyota dealer; it was priced BELOW KBB prices. It's 2wd, which is a market liability here; it's painted an oxidized white...as I said, looks like a city-DPW truck, even though it never was.

So I got it, cheap. And it's cheap transport to the gritty yard where I work; and it'll be cheap to move furniture and crap in.

I could take it "home" (my old residence) where 4wd is much-less in demand, and sell it for a $1000 profit. But there's no need for that. I did okay and I'm happy.

I'm leaning towards keeping the Yaris...I just keep asking myself, "What for?"
