Just make sure you change out all the fluids, make sure the tires and belts are not rotting, as that can happen when cars sit without moving.

Otherwise good deal.

Oh, and be very careful of the front splitter. It can crack so easily because the material is really fragile. The rear can as well but that is harder to scrape on things.
The price is right, the mileage is a bonus. The dealership recorded that they changed all the fluids when they got it on the trade. Should I believe this? I would like to assume since they turned around and sold it. I'll keep the front splitter fragility in mind. Thanks!

It's amusing they listed it as a Premium when the VIN usually pulls up a Limited (as it really is a Limited with extras)
Yes, I know it's a series.blue. I am trying to locate all the VIN to make sure it wasn't in an accident, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't.

I guess that depends if you trust the dealership. Was it a subaru dealership that will have to honor all the warranty work?

No. It was not a subaru dealership. It was a large multi-make dealership in my area.

You just can't get a too-good-to-be-true deal from a "dealer". Their job is selling the cars at the maximum possible price from their end. They sold it to you because nobody was willing to pay more than you. It is not a 2017 with the led tail lights, digital instrument panel, oh-so-great extra 5hp, etc. that everybody else wants. You paid the fair price, and stop trying to find problems with it. Enjoy!

I'm not trying to find problems with it. The sales rep said they paid the guy $20k which makes sense. They just cut their losses. I was just wondering why it had such low miles for being 3 years old.

Thanks!! I have a 2017 Tacoma as well, so this will be parked all winter. I plan on keeping it for a very, very long time.

previous owner probably had it for a weekend car, garaged it mostly, then possibly had other things going on and saw depreciation value of these cars. Then decided to get rid of the car that they barely used with 1500 miles on it. There

Noone bought the car except you so its yours now

I like the more interesting Japanese names we got for the special editions
