I think the main problem here is you're using a dealer. You're almost by definition going to get screwed as much as possible. I mean it's literally their job. They just call it nicer things like "not leaving money on the table".

Thanks. yeah I'm actually also super frugal and have been driving a perfectly amazing honda civic that will probably last however long I want it to... However, I work in the medical field and recently moved to the rural Northeast where there seem to be waaay more trucks and SUV's than CA and I...

Love ve the red led I love the red LED swap. Looks like BMW's interiors, which IMO are the best interiors out there.

I wish cars these days had a broader selection of colors. It's like going back in time to the model T...

Trying to decide between the two... I need something that can tow a boat, 2 kids, and swallow the potholes on my 5 mile daily commute through poorly maintained roads. Has anyone had experience with both? Market prices in the New England region for a 2006 V8 4Runner are about the same as a 2004...

And what was the cost of said dipping?

I am about to buy a 4runner with horrendous tears in the leather seats. I'd like to buy cloth/canvas OEM seat covers, similar in functionality to the sport trim seat covers, but i can't find a set for a decent price online. It seems that all the economial and well made seat covers are brands...

I think you hit the nail on the head with that last sentence. If you compare to just a tent, yes it's not such a good deal, but if you're comparing to a hotel, it quickly pays for itself. At least I think I have just become convinced that it's a good investment. One further question, is there...

I'm a person in the medical field... Just want to say be careful about this. Have personally seen people die from carbon monoxide poisoning from a cracked exhaust system. Should this not allow adequate ventilation, you may get co2 buildup in your 4runner.

Hey, Mainer here.... How did they do this past winter?

I've been looking on other posts about rust and it's somewhat confusing. One one hand, people like yourself note that with proper maintenance, a 4Runner will be rust free or little rust. On the other hand, there are posts out there of people who say they do all the washing and undercoating...

I'm finally about to pull the trigger on a 2004-2009 4Runner, and I've just relocated from California to Maine. Obviously, I'm new to the whole rust thing and I have no exerience with any rust on my cars. Seeing the cars out here, I really am saddened to see them literally rotting away from...

Hello, I was wondering if there is anything I can do to report an unauthorized access to my account. Looking up the offending person's IP address (88.150.136.178), it comes up as someone from London. I'm located in the USA. Thanks.

Are you happy with the V8 vs the V6?

Well, it's one of the "major" cities in the state - population ~30,000. My job requires me to commute to work at 4AM so I'm also worried about the roads not being plowed yet. Frankly, I'm also beginning to grow concerned about the size differential between pickups/suv's and my civic in a more...
