Well, the boy is learning.

He replaced the sway links which helped get rid of some of the front end noise.

Then we learned about the play where the cv axle and diff meet. So we have a bushing coming to resolve that issue.

Have another unidentified noise coming from under the hood.Think it is either a heat shield or something of the sort.

As to prices, yeah they are expensive. We got this bought right. I rushed to buy it because I had read a number of places that used vehicle prices were about to take off again. Got it bought right for a tacoma. Could sell it and make $ including all the expenses we have paid in.

No way am I paying $40k for a new little truck. You can rationalize it anyway you want, but tying up money like that does not make any sense to me. Whether I pay for it outright, or finance it. Not when I can get a vehicle that does the job for half that amount.
