I did it! Got a 05' Sport!

I'll have pics soon, but I'm pumped. Found a 05' Sport 4x4 V8 and drove 200 miles today to get it. They only gave me 2500 on my old beat up Tacoma, but I was expecting that. My new ride has just over 100k miles, timing belt and H2O pump have been done at 90k. After almost shedding a tear about my 96' Tacoma and I parting ways, I grew to like the runner more and more. Drove down a twisting two lane road coming home and this thing handles like new. Love the V8. It has 265/70R17 non aggressive a/t's on right now, but as they wear out I'm gonna get spacers and maybe step up a size. Rides like a caddy compared to my Tacoma w/ mud tires! I'm enjoying the site and look forward to lots of good info here.

Congrats! I'm shopping for one as well, but for a v6.

What did you end up paying before trade-in, fees, and taxes?

14,500 was the sale price. 108k miles. I was happy w/ the deal He confirmed timing belt and water pump already done, so I figure that's worth $600 or so.
I love it. I'll like it even more when I put spacers in or possibly a lift. It rides great but w/ all that power it takes a second for the body to catch up w/ the engine!
