With the recall, Toyota paid him $8,800 for it. I had paid $16,500 for it new.

BTW: There was absolutely NO rust in the body. NB
That's no surprise believe they were giving back like 110% of it's value (don't quote me on my numbers) for inconvenience sake. My nephew also had his "taken away from him" basically the dealership almost literally wouldn't let him drive his truck home. Believe they gave him like 7,500 for the thing and he could never sell it on his own for anywhere near that. He gave up a paid off truck he liked and put down the 7,500 on a 20,000 Chevy loaning the balance. He wasn't happy.
