Looking at a 2012 4R SR5!

[Jayhawk5G]

I was hoping to get some feedback. I currently drive a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.7 V8 and Quadra-drive 2. The vehicle is paid off, but has 105k miles on it. My wife has recently been promoted and has a company car, and so we are considering selling my Jeep and trading her 2011 Kia Sorento fwd I-4...

Her Sorento is incapable of towing our boat, and so keeping it isn't in the cards. We originally looked at newer Jeeps, but there just isn't a lot of them optioned the way I would want local. She loves the new bodystyle 4R and I had previously kicked around the idea of one when I purchased my Jeep. We went to our local Toyota dealer and pretty much fell in love. 2012 4R Magnetic Grey, cloth interior only options 3rd row seating... has running boards. MSRP was $35,700. Saleslady e-mailed us a quoted price of $33,199 plus tax. We e-mailed back that it was too high, and advised if she could do better to let us know.

So what are your opinions. What would be a good deal... I have seen people getting non-loaded TE's in the $34k range... Normally I like some options but to get into a "new" 4Runner I'm willing to give up most of them... however I expect a pretty good deal on a vehicle whose only option is a fold away third row which our Sorento also has.

Thanks in advance!

I think the price she gave you is reasonable, not an amazing price, but fair. Ive never seen someone get a TE for 34k, maybe...but I've never seen it.

I was quoting a forum member on here who posted $34,500 for a no-option TE last December...

To bad Toyota Clearance month is a scam lol, would love to see some actual incentive money from Toyota as I would love to get this thing for as close to $30,000 as possible...

We have a few other Toyota dealers local so we may see what they are willing to do...

I should have clarified that... it's 4WD, however, I have a feeling there is a little more water in the rock...

Good to know that we aren't too far off...

I paid right at $35k out the door for my 11 SR5 w/3rd row and leather... i'd say that is a pretty fair price

Last month I paid 37,400 for an SR5 premium package (leather, nav, etc) with 3rd row.

That makes more sense to me though... the 3rd row seat is only an $805 dollar option, to get 3rd row and leather it becomes Premium Package with 3rd row and that is a $6,140 option. So my price seems high by that comparison...

Take $37,400 subtract $6,140 from the price, and then add $805 for the third row option and I should be shooting for $32,065.

How big is the boat you tow?

How big is the boat you tow?

It's a 15.5 foot Sea-Doo Sportster 150, with an 18 foot single axle trailer... the boat is 1450 dry with a 22 gallon tank... I currently tow it with my Jeep and have had no problems with getting up to speed, pulling the boat out of the water, etc.

The Sorento with 180hp and unibody is not going to meet my boat needs without tearing up the drivetrain...
