Donny B's 2008 Titanium 4Runner Sport 4X4 V6
I bought a new 4runner! OHHH YEAHH! :bouncy:
It was the ONLY 2008 they had on the lot! It was a Sport model in titanium silver none-the-less! It was meant to be! It had 13 miles on it after I test drove 4 of those miles.
Optional Equipment:
FE - 50 State Emissions
DJ - Premium AM/FM 6-Disc In-Dash CD Changer
$200.00
QW - Value Package Includes: Power Tilt/Slide Moonroof w/Sunshade, Double Decker Cargo System w/Cargo Net, Garage Door Opener w/Homelink, Auto-Dimming Rear View Mirror w/Compass, and Rear Spoiler w/Center High Mounted Stop Lamp
$1,500.00
RL - Daytime Running Lights
$40.00
TO - Weight Carrying Tow Hitch and Ball Mount Kit (V6 Models Only)
$430.00
CF. - Carpet Floor Mats/Cargo
$199.99
GN. - Cargo Net
$49.00
It also has the Tonneau cover too which is pretty nice.
Ok, as far as the money goes... I spent WAY more than I wanted to, but I also got A LOT more for my car (trade-in) than I expected, espcially since it was involved in an accident ($11,535 in damage)
Here's the breakdown:
Delivering Processing and Handling Fee: $685.00
Subtotal (incl. above options): $35,703.00
Extra Value Package MSRP Discount: - $1,033.00
Total Selling Price: $34,670.00 (ouch!)
Less Trade-In: $17,870.00
***
Now to interrupt... my car's KBB on EXCELLENT is rated at $16,700 and on GOOD at $15,000 for a trade-in. With my past experienced stealers usually offer what the GOOD says at best, now considering the car was in a collision I figured I'd get under that, sooo I was hoping for $15,000 at best going into it and was highly considering trying to sell it myself privately.
Now, since they gave me more than the excellent rating at $17,870... that also saved me in taxes which are a god awful 8% here in rip-off New York State. That saved me $1,429.60 on tax so it was like selling the car for $19,299.60 privately. It was a heck of a steal and I just couldn't pass it up! I guess it makes up with trying to negotiate 'cause they wouldn't budge 'cause they said they were already giving me more than what KBB.com said my car was worth. Whatever, I 'm happy, and it's only money, right!? On to the rest of the figures:
***
Cash difference: $16,800.00
NYS tax - 8%: $1,344.00 (I hate NY!)
title fee: $45.00
NYS Inspection: $10.00
NYS Tire Fee: $12.50
NYS lic and reg fee: $105.00
TOTAL cash price: $18,316.50
downpayment: $3,316.50 **
amount to finance: $15,000.00
$297.74 for 60 months (5yrs) **I put down this amount so that my payments would be under $300 a month. This way I can easily make double/triple payments, yet have that low payment for when times are tough. I may refi through my credit union, I just have to see what they'll give me for an intrest rate. My credit score is pretty good - 808, so I should be able to get a better deal. I just wanted to get the 4Runner and drive it home today, so I went through Toyota Motor Credit Corporation.
Ok, I apologize for these photos because I took them when I got the vehicle home at 9pm and it's dark out! I drove nice and smoothly (I love the ride!) down to a school about 2 blocks away and took some pics in the parking lot. More pics to come tomorrow in the daylight! I'm so excited. Ok, hopefully the pics work!:
p.s.
I deleted the last photo and my question/problem because they were already answered and solved in the following post. Thanks Uneek!
