Almost bought a 4Runner tonight.....almost...

[MeddlingKids]

I went to the dealership for a test drive, and really enjoyed the 2005 SR5 V6 4x4 I drove. I told the salesperson, who was very friendly, that I was going to go home and sleep on it, but I'd be back the next day to talk about numbers with him. He asked me to come inside to have a look at numbers tonight, so I did.

So, he asked me what it would take to do a deal tonight. He offered $16,000 on my trade (which has a Private Party value of $15,600) and said he'd find out if they could do the truck for $26,000. Now, this particular truck had all sorts of options on it that drove the price up about $1800, so I figured they wouldn't bite on it.

So, tomorrow I'm planning on going down there to see if they really want to sell me a 4Runner. I was only going to ask for $14,000 for my trade, but since he brought it up, I'll make it $16,000 and $26,000 for the 4Runner.

There's a slight possibility I may have a new vehicle tomorrow. By the way...I was VERY impressed with out civil this truck was on the pavemenent, considering how well it eats up off-road situations.

woo hoo! How exciting! When I test drove Saturday, the salesman actually let me take it "offroad." Behind the dealership they have a small field with minor hills (c'mon, I live in Louisiana, it's mostly flat land). It was so much fun! I kept thinking to myself, I could NEVER do this in my accord lol.

Be sure to keep me posted on what you decide. Can't wait to see pics

Ask him if they will let you take it to the bayou.....

Not sure how it is in your state, but if your situation was in NY, you'd only pay sales tax on the difference or ($10K).
