Ever wonder what your used 4Runner was traded in for?

I bought my 06 Sport back in March of 2011 at a ford dealership. I asked the used car sales manager what it was traded in for and he couldn't recollect. I supposed there could have been a used Toyota on the lot that he traded for? Maybe he went for an F150 or a new Explorer? Maybe he needed a sedan with better gas mileage or decided to give up 4WD and try a rear wheel drive Mustang in the middle of winter? The possibilities are endless... How many of you know what your 4Runner was traded in for?

How deep of you. I never thought about anything like that... I just remember coming to the dealership and I was looking around the lot for SUV's. 10 rows down in the parking lots, a white 4Runner caught my attention only because I've always have been a huge fan of white 4Runners as I was very envious of those who had 'em when I still had the 3rd gen 4Runner. I took it out for a test drive & walked out of the dealership with the keys in my hands on the same day! It was like love at first sight for me....

If I had to guess, I would think the previous owner traded it in for a brand new 5th gen 4Runner or a newer 4th gen 4Runner because I could tell the owner was a huge fan of this 4Runner I currently own because the 4Runner was very well taken care
 
I just got a 2008 SR5 V8 with less than 21K mi. It was traded in by original owner for a F-250 to tow big camper. It was like getting a great deal on a brand new truck !
 
I worked at the dealership i bought mine from. Traded in for 18500, got to it the morning before it was to be put on the lot for 27900. Paid 20500.

You were lucky to have an insiders chance at buying it. Do you remember what it was traded in for?

My previous owner traded for a Tundra reg. 4 door cab. When I called him he seemed to miss his 4runner.
I told him I was going from full size to 4runner and I was concerned about satisfaction with the smaller width vehicle.
I now very much like the smaller ride...easier to park etc.

Well not directly related but after getting rid of my evo8, I wanted either a new Cherokee new 4runner trail or an fj.
I decided on the fj I like it but if I could do it all over again to be honest I would choose the 4runner. Lol even though I already own an 08 sport
 
Bought mine as a CPO. The sales guy told me it was traded in for a 5th gen 4Runner. I kinda want to look up the old owner and ask him if there's anything special I should know about it.
