Buying Advice '04 Limited V6 2WD

[laserace]

Okay guys. I have been shopping around for a 4Runner V6 Limited 2WD. The dealers can't find a match according to the options that I want. All Limited edition comes with the JBL 6CD Changer & 10 Speakers in addition to other options that I think are a waste of money. I bought the Scion 6CD HU specifically for my new 4Runner. I found out from darktiger that the scion does not work with the JBL. Go figure. It seem like I am going to have to special order the 4Runner. Does anyone of you have experience in special ordering from Toyota? Can I actually get exactly what I want so that I shouldn't have to pay for unecessary factory options?

Here is what I want to order. Tell me how much I should pay if you could.

Have you checked out edmunds.com? They list the invoice and the average selling price with options in your area. You should be able to beat the average selling price easily. You can also use a service that allows you to have dealers bid for your business, thereby getting a pretty good deal.

Got my 4Runner for 30K drive out with Leather! Thanks bulldog-yota!

Cool price, I wish I waited to buy my runner. I got mine in Nov 02 and dealers weren't too interested in dealing with the new model just out.

What did you end up getting? LTD, SE, SR5?

 

[laserace]

I got the SE. But with all the upgraded options, it's more like a LTD but at the SE price. I didn't care much about the heated and automatic seat adjustments that the LTD offered.

Here are some pics...will be adding the front stainless steel grille and tail guard in a few weeks.
