Dont give up
I put two months into finding the Runner I wanted. I have had four and this was to be my 5th in 13 years. The model I wanted is VERY rare but they are out there-
---Sports Edition-V8 2X2-Triple Black. I looked every day religiously. Ebay, Craig's List. Cars.com etc.---
I live near LAX and was ready to get on a plane as I found a close match in New Mexico and one in FL.
One day I found the exact car I wanted-72K, clean car fax, leather. I got it for $12,100.00
This economy is tricky and some people are willing to take cold hard cash and discount from Blue Book. By the way, the V8 in 2WD with sports package is a blast!!
Keep hunting it will pay off. The sad part is I think I enjoyed the hunt almost as much as the catch.

I've been shopping around quite a bit for the same model and each dealer I've visited seems very reluctant to move on the price at all. One dealer has an 06 sport with 44k on the clock and they want nearly 25k for it-- though I'll admit it's incredibly clean, that's still quite pricey. Additionally, I found a 07 sport with 21k on the clock and it's listed for 23,999. Again, pricey but clean. Still, neither dealer has shown much interest in coming down in price.
Can't give up hope though, gotta keep fighting em for a good deal! :boxer:[/QUOTE]
