Hey everyone, I’m trying to get an idea of what my 2008 Tacoma might realistically be worth. NY state it’s whole life and has 228k miles.

The truck runs great and mechanically has been very reliable. The engine has zero issues and maintenance has been kept up consistently. Exterior is mostly in good shape for the age, and the interior is decent overall, although there are a few stains in the upholstery.

The biggest issue is the frame. The frame recall was never done and it has heavy signs of rst. I know that’s obviously a major factor and kills the value if any. I’m not trying to get top dollar or anything — just looking for a realistic idea of what something like this might sell for, if at all. Has anyone sold or bought a Tacoma in similar condition?

I’m having an issue with the circuit that powers the lights in a few rooms. I have a Belkin surge protector that I have my game room devices plugged into. I had turned off the surge protector before leaving for a trip recently as it was easier to hit the power button rather than move the tv stand to unplug it entirely. Last night, when I turned the surge protector back on, it cut power to the lights, but not completely to the outlet.

I checked the breaker panel, and nothing appeared to be tripped. I also searched the house for any tripped GFCI outlets, but everything looked fine. I turned each breaker off and back on, but the lights still are not working.

I replaced the receptacle where the surge protector was plugged in, but that did not resolve the issue. When the breaker is on, an outlet tester and non-contact voltage tester both show that power is present. However, when I plug in an actual device, like a lamp or phone charger, it does not receive power. The high hat lights also appear extremely dim, almost like some power is flowing, but the switches will not turn them on normally. Any idea on what to do next?

Thank you
