OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com If you want to talk deal, pick up the phone and make your serious offer. 702-353-7500 I don't respond 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'll it take to buy it?" "What is you asking price?" I will not email you a figure but we can talk about it. Intelligent buyers know exactly what this car is worth to them and have researched real market values like we did when we consigned the car. 1960 Cadillac Deville 4dr Hardtops are quite rare and pricing we've seen for examples like this will range between twelve and eighteen thousand dollars according to Hagerty's Price Valuation tool that shows current auctions sales around the nation; that does not include the cool vintage trailer that comes with the deal. Real Simple, it's your offer that may buy this car and trailer package deal. Don't call me fishing for a price unless you want me to tell you some absurd asking figure that will just annoy you. You need to tell me what you are willing to offer just like any other auction. Also, if yours is among the hundreds of emails I get with any of the questions above, I will immediately assume that you(r): • have not taken time to read the listing and just an online tire kicker • have zero intent to purchase and just like "seeing" what sellers think their cars are worth. Publications do that real well. • are clueless about relevant market values because your have spent time really looking into valid information. • forthcoming "offer" will be completely detached from reality like most initial eBay bidders. 27 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. 99% of the time, I accept those offers without haggle. Try me. 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. If I'm in the black, you will own this vehicle! CALL ME!

OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com Backstory from the owner... You are looking for the nicest, best kept, best maintained Tacoma you can find. You are here because the quality found in your neck of the woods, by even the lowest standards, is a joke. I know exactly how you feel. I attend specialty and dealer-only auctions every week searching for the best of the best in what I like to call, "niche autos." I scan lists of over 3,000 vehicles locally each week and select cars I've come to know are hard to find and that fit my business model of marketing exclusively on eBay. Tacomas make the cut whenever they show up and a small number, 2-3 a week perhaps, appear at one of the three major auctions here in Las Vegas or perhaps in local classifieds. During the past seven years I see dozens Tacomas annually and what that means for you is; I have looked at, touched and smelled a lot of Toyota trucks. I am extremely picky and this PreRunner is one of just a handful nice enough for my business model. Past ownership, service history and condition, condition, condition are what matters. Used vehicles are not always treated well, but a precious few are taken care of. This particular Tacoma is one of those rare finds and you will not want to pass it up. Beautiful paint, spectacular interior and an absolute knock-out to see in person. As good as these pictures are, they can't possibly show how truly beautiful this truck really is. What else could you want? A great deal? I have that covered too but you will not be purchasing this fine pickup for wholesale or even low book value. You already know you get what you pay for and if you want unmatched quality, service, care and condition, this V6 Tacoma is a super rare find. Read all about your next vehicle below. Examine every picture in detail, see the amazing condition, up close and personal and then make your call and give me an offer. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful Gray Purple Pear paint is not often seen on a Tacoma, especially looking this nice . . . This generation Tacoma (1995-04) has legendary reliability and impressive resale value. Besides routinely selling waaay over book, the nicer examples usually close on the first listing.

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. OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com If you want to make a deal, pick up the phone and talk a serious offer. 702-353-7500 I don't respond to emails asking for "bottom line, sale price, reserve, or Buy-it-Now" figures on top line cars. THE ONLY WAY YOU GET THOSE FIGURES IS TO CALL ME! The book values posted below are relevant to "real" selling figures. NADA & KBB wouldn't be in business if they posted nonsense. But they only account for averages around the nation. If this car is less than or better than average, bid or offer accordingly. Please ask about our service programs and pricing.
