Ya I've been tossing around the idea... most likely going to keep it and just get the shocks and skid plate once they are available, really want that supercharger... jumping on that MT slider deal today.. haha
How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

Good call on keeping it... You will enjoy "modding it" yourself, it leaves a personal touch on it.
2014 Sr5 Premium.
Just ordered a 2014 White SR5 Premium 4x4, with floor mats, remote starter, chrome exhaust tip and all the other bells and whistles for 36,500 OTD. Not a bad deal. Plus they gave me 24,000 trade on my 2010 base model SR5. So only 12,500 out of pocket :naughty:

My pricing advice
1. Use Cars.com or something similar to find exactly what you want.
I found that if a dealer had to order or trade for the vehicle that I wanted, they were unlikely to work with me very much on price. On the other hand, if they had the exact model/options/color combo that I wanted on the lot, they knew that there was a greater likelihood of making a deal. Still, you don't want to seem too eager to buy
2. Purchase through a high volume dealer, if possible.
I'm from Central KY yet it was worth my time and trouble to fly to DC to get exactly what I wanted and at the right price. I have never seen a dealer do as much volume as Koons Toyota in DC. According to their website, they have 70 4Runners on their lot, seemingly priced below invoice. I'm assuming that they depend so much on selling volume that they're willing to take a hit on the sale price in return for a higher hold back or bonus from Toyota.
I was able to get my blue TE Premium w/KDSS for $37k. Not the lowest I've seen on here, but certainly on the lower side of the spectrum. It beat any Costco or TrueCar price, as well as any other dealers' offers by $1500.

Thanks for the info... I think your right on when you say a better deal can be had if the dealer has the one you want on his lot. Unfortunately for me trail premiums are rare. I checked there website and it seems they only have BASE trails and no premiums.
We paid too much - however it was what we wanted and it is very difficult to find KDSS equipped runners in the Gulf South area - I had to go to Alabama. any way we got a Trail Premium with KDSS and Rear Cargo tray Nautical blue. Also had the usual adds that no one wants but we had to pay for them - Nitrogen tire fills, edge guards on the doors, tint, Toyo Guard (Useless to us as we can only use in the territory that the vehicle was sold), and the all weather mats - $39,500.00

On Cars.com I did a search for Trail Premiums within a 500 mile radius. There was maybe 15 of them. I don't know, maybe a half to 2/3 of those had KDSS. Only two of them were blue. One in DC and one in Alabama. I emailed both of them and DC was able to sell at $37k. Alabama on the other hand, refused to go below MSRP so it doesn't surprise me that they wouldn't work with you very much. Considering your geography, I think you did just fine with $39.5k.

So It seems they had TE Premiums on the lot but not listed on the website.Today I gave them a deposit to hold a 2014 TE /KDSS rigid running boards carpet crossbars Barcelona Red Metallic. Looks like road trip next week. Thanks for the heads up on the Deal in the making.

Excellent! Congrats, man. Good go'n on the color, too. Where/how far you going to pick it up?
Yeah, I'm just a firm believer in buying EXACTLY what you want and going to whatever inconvenient lengths you may have to in order to get it. If I'm going to hold onto a vehicle for 10+ years, I want to make sure that I have no regrets.

Doesn't truecar.com give you a range of what people are paying for new vehicles. All I know is I paid for a 2010 Limited in 2012 what some people are paying for a brand new one now...I do believe I got duped.
Thanks, your post save me some money... I was going to go with gray or silver till I saw the red at dealer hear in New Jersey. I have black now and wanted to feel I really have a new vehicle. The red gives me that feeling. It will take about three hours to get there, so no big deal. I'm trading so I hope I get a fair price for my 2010. I was thinking they may try to short me on the trade to make up for the low asking price. :naughty:
