Why no V8 deals ??
My 2 somewhat local dealers have quite a few left over 4R's . They have killer deals on them for the V6's , but no special deals or hardly budge on the V8's.

Kinda weird , goes against what everyone has been saying (media) ect...

You're right, it makes no sense; however I would bet the profit margin in the T4R is low. I can't imagine they have a lot of wiggle room.

I would imagine the falling gas prices have something to do with it.

I would say supply and demand, even though demand would be pretty low. Probably because the regional distributor isn't ordering any V8s, they rather have the few left available for customers who really want a V8 instead of none.

It's crazy how so much has changed over the last 12 months.

and little movement on the FJs?
the FJs here are only discounted about $3K while the V6 Runners are about double that... not trying to hijack Falls just wondering if you notice that where you are as far as regional pricing.?

just fantasizing about the next great manny tranny Toyota in my fleet....
