Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

$42,000?????????? What the holy hell??? 144,000 miles?

OK, I'll tap the ad link.

Wow. Others are going for around this price. I get this truck has a following, but that's just nuts.

I guess the moral of the story is to buy as many as you can seal up in a warehouse, wait 20 more years and there's your retirement plan.

  This is why I keep my fixed up V8 4runner in a barn. I "might" get $15,000-$18,000 for it today but its just going to keep going up in value. It has same miles but has been completely gone through, Bilsteins, Stop Tech brakes, TRD wheels, K02's, mild lift/level and everything else fixed that it needed. Good as new now but haven't driven it in 2 years. I just fired it up after sitting 8 months, I connected the battery and it fired up like it had been sitting 8 minutes instead of 8 months. Such a great vehicle

Absolutely overpriced with rear end damage I have a 2012 that has less miles with the TRD Supercharger and 6” Lift on 37s and they only say they are worth 25k max with over 100k miles

Bookish So some lawyer comes up with a scam to shake down the auto industry and the NYT makes it an ethical crusade against Ford. And you repeat it moralistically and uncritically.

AZFelix This generation of Cadillac articles also shows consistent placement of photos relative to the corresponding text.
Biff Finally the chickens have come home to roost. I have been saying this for three years: just wait until the EV’ers have to pay the road tax. Lets not forget that it’s California we are talking about and they have never met a tax they didn’t like. Plus it’s “the rich” buying new cars so its a double “lets tax’em!” The solution is simple enough. Have EV’s go into emissions stations as part of license plate renewal. Except here record the milage and get a bill for the cost. The rate should be around 1.5X the comparable gas size vehicle due to added weight. Lets watch the progessive politics swallow this one!
Big Oil You could of had a V8.
