Thanks for this. Yeah, I've been in contact with them....they contacted me immediately when I did the KBB "instant offer" process.....we went back and forth over prices/availability, and of course I can see what they have online. I'd jump at a deal like you got....and that was ORP.....prices are...

And thank YOU.

Yeah, I guess on this forum it's not needed....probably most people generally behave, don't flame each other or turn things political. :-) I just want to be in the place where the most people will see a post that relates to them.

I agree.....you old hands know what's what but newbies to the forum are going to wind up going down the wrong street. Can I have this thread moved to the correct forum?

thank you for this information! Clears up unnecessary confusion. How can I find the / a moderator to move my post to the 5th gen forum where it belongs? I can't find any moderator link. is there one?

Thanks for the suggestion, but the vehicles I see there seem way overpriced....just like all of them these days, apparently. I entered $40K just to see, got nothing. $45K max, got maybe 2 possibilities total. They're all $48K plus.

I'm confused: when I look at the Forum listing, I see people in the 6th Gen forum talking about 2019's, 2020's, etc. Where should I be?? I can ask the moderator to move me....

Yep....I wouldn't sell that either....you got a good deal at the right time....it's a bad time to be looking right now. As mscot pointed out, it's a question of wanting but not "needing," at this point, I guess...I can justify spending maybe $3-4K out of pocket (over the trade-in value, which...

Hope it's not a year....but we'll see. I don't see it getting any worse than it is now, so waiting makes sense. btw: I have no clue how to use the quotes in replies.

fwiw: with another dealer texting me asking if I wanted to come in, I inquired where the price would be in relation to the msrp. His response: "Everyone is selling brand new cars over MSRP. We cannot keep trucks in stock; we are selling them before they arrive and before they're built. If you...

..................................... Yeah, that's great to say that, but it's a total seller's market right now. Plus the dealer I spoke with said price will be significantly higher if I don't use finance w/them. Fwiw: I intend to pay cash; not interested in financing.

Got several great trade-in offers, but the online people (CarGurus et al) just facilitate contact between me and the dealers who see the trade-in offer. So maybe I'm stuck.

Well, this is all terrible news. I don't want to fly to another state to purchase at an exorbitant rate. Geez. I would gladly travel (drive a couple hundred miles) to get the vehicle, but there are limits. As far as "Do NEED to buy this now?" Fair question: I don't NEED in the sense that I...

Wow. $32K today will get you something w/100,000+ mi. My brother in law paid ~$42K for his new TRD off road in 2017, I believe....maybe it was Premium; it's pretty sweet. This was L.A. I would pay that now gladly for the new TRD....but no dice. Not sure what to do, since it seems like the ads I...

Not a Premium. Just a plain 'ol SR5 4x4. He said, "the one we have is about the most stripped-down SR5 you can find."
