If
you want to talk deal,
pick up the phone
and make your serious offer.
702-353-7500
I don't respond nicely to
stupid messages such as:
"What's
your reserve?"
"What is your bottom line?"
"What's the least you'll take?"
"What is your bottom
dollar?"
"Do you have a
Buy-it-Now?"
"What's it take to buy
it?"
"What is your asking
price?"
I will not email
you a figure but we can talk about it.
It's a flippin' Auction! That means . . .
it's your
number that counts . . . not mine.
Also, if yours is among the hundreds of emails I get with
any of the above lame questions, I will immediately
assume that you(r):
•
have not
taken time to read the listing
•
have
zero intent to purchase
• are
clueless about relevant market values
• forthcoming "offer" will be completely detached from
reality
26
years in the business has proven beyond all doubt that serious buyers
read every line, look at every picture, research well
enough on their own and feel confident making a real
offer.
Our presentations are unequalled, on eBay or anywhere
else.
We are therefore, usually able to choose from among
quality buyers that actually want to
purchase a vehicle.
THE ONLY WAY TO WORK YOUR DEAL IS TO CALL ME!
My
vehicles are so unique and so rare,
knowing how much they will or should sell for is nearly impossible.
That is the magic of an eBay auction . . . serious
buyers making a serious offer.

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...junkers. 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, including the timing belt and water
pump...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.

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 . . .

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!

Original owner books.
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.
