Why are Toyota Tacoma's so expensive?

I’ve been looking at prices of used Toyota Tacomas and they seem to be a bit too expensive, even by used japanese resale standards.

For example a 1999 Tacoma with 275,000 km is up for CAD $6000 on Kijiji. Another 95 Tacoma with 222,000 km is up for over $10,000. Now i know these trucks are used mostly for business / commercial purposes, but do they really last that long? Is it justified to drop 10 large for a 15 year old vehicle with 200,000+ km on the clickometer?

Japanese cars last long, no doubt. My '96 accord just passed 422,000 km last week. Even then these prices seem a bit too ridiculous.

one word… DEMAND.

Desis and their Toy-tas…:nahi:

How much would a Ford cost in comparison? Similar models to the Tacoma, you know…F150, F250 etc? Are Fords not as reliable?

One Ford that is rock solid is the Ford Ranger. Heard from many Ford owners that I know.
