Toyota bought my Tacoma back from me for 1.5 times the book value, just like in the article.
I'm not even sure how they tracked me down, since I wasn't the original owner (DMV, I guess).
Apparently (or so I'm told) the factory used some shitty primer, which caused the premature rust problem.
The truck had 205K, a broken leaf spring, and was ready for brakes and tires.
They also gave me a voucher for $1000.00 off of any certified used replacement, which I used on my new (used) truck, and a free rental car.
Boy did I get
