just got my '04 Tacoma rebuilt with a new frame- amazing!

the mechanic said no other company would have done that- I wonder if that's
true

any way, it's nice that they did it

I got it one better. I was part of the buyback in 08.

Paid 11K for a 00 Taco in 05. Kept it for three years, had the left
read quarter banged in, got paid for that and then Toyoy bought it
back and gave me 18.5k for it.

THAT's why they stoped the buybacks

I got an e-mail from Toyota that started someting like "our records
indicate that your Tundra may have fram rust problems but does not
qualify for ..blah, blah, blah". They offered me to get it inspected *at
the Toyota Dealer* and if required the frame would get dealer anti-rust
oiling and/or repairs (forget the details). Anyway I got me an
appointent, they looked in the computer and 'noticed' that I could also
be due for an oli change before telling me that the previous owner had
already gotten the ispection and the antirust treatment done. So I asked
"if that's in you fucking computer then why did you put me throught all
this hoopla to get an appointment and drive 80-km to get here?".
