Didn't buy new, but this may help some folks trying to decide between going new or used.
I bought my 17 SR5 Premium, from Toyota of Dallas, for $27000 before trade in/taxes.
Runner had a little less than 20k miles on it, was a Certified Pre Owned, and all that.
I traded in a 2010 Tundra and got $11k for it. Then you add the taxes (I am in Arkansas), fees, service contract (100k mile bumper to bumper AND powertrain).
After it was all said and done, I owe a little over $20k on it.
I looked for new, and they weren't being discounted in Arkansas or Dallas. Even the used ones were rare and/or high, in Arkansas. I knew I wanted black or white, SR5 Premium, and a CPO. Had to go to Dallas to get the right one, but it was worth it.
Couldnt convince myself at the time, to get into a new ORP or anything like that. I wasn't really 100% on the 4Runner when I bought it, so I went ahead and went new.. since trade in for the one I bought was like $26k and I owed much less than that.
The depreciation was non existent after driving off the lot, compared to buying new and driving off.
Overall, I am happy with my purchase, and have really come to love it. I have done a few things to it, to make it less soccer mom. I am happy with my "positive" equity in it, in case we decide to trade it in on a Lexus RX or NX, later on down the road.

This seems like a really good deal here. When I was buying my 16, I was deciding between new/used. I went new. I ended up trading it in a year later, with 20k miles on it, for $30,000. I paid $33,000 new. I drove it for a year for only $3k, which was pretty damn amazing to me. The resale/trade values are insane on this vehicle.
first post so I hope this is an okay place to put it.
currently looking at buying this 5th gen. what do you guys think?
2015 dark grey trail
salvage title
56,000 miles
cloth seats
KDSS suspension
if you can see in the attachments, the damage was super light but did deploy the passenger curtain airbag.
The owner had everything fixed perfectly but did not replace the curtain airbag.
How much would you pay for this 4runner?
How much would it cost to replace the passenger curtain airbag?
If I were to get a good deal on this, could I potentially sell it for more with airbags still missing?
thanks for you replies, and remember, I'm new, first post, so be nice.
first picture is how it sits now, second was before repair. thanks!
I went to another dealer close by in another city yesterday. I found them advertising a couple of 4Runners at ~3k off MSRP on both Autotrader and their official site, which is quite a bit more then the other 2 dealers I have gone to for Costco pricing.
I am told that the pricing was a "computer error" and they are only doing 500 off MSRP for Costco pricing.
I immediately start walking out and then get the sales pitch, "what do we need to do right now to make a deal?" LOL.
Dealer found one in the Seattle area. Must of just got of the boat since it had 1 mile on the odo. 39,149 + Lic and tax.

Congrats. Tell us more about the options and trim...looks like a TRD OR (plus your earlier comment in this thread). KDSS?
Love the silver

Just got a 4runner today. Was wondering if I got a good deal:
2018 4runner 4x4 SR5 Premium Nautical Blue
MSRP: $41,956
Options: softex leather w/ 3rd Row Seat, Moonroof, Connectivity Kit, Glass Sensor, Running Boards
Dealer Add-ons: tint
Price Paid: $37,773 (Discount was around $4,183)
TTL + Fees: 2,776
Total OTD: $40,547.49
This is in Houston, TX btw. Was trying to get an even $40,000 flat, but nobody would budge on it. Looking to see how I did.
It's interesting that between the 3 or 4 test drives how the body roll wasn't very noticeable until we got it home and started driving on "our" roads. The rig has a very different feel on the twisty winding country roads we drive.
