Please Help!!! Purchasing a 2011 4WD Limited 4Runner.

[Tilo]

I'm planning on purchasing a 2011 4WD Limited 4Runner soon and I just wanted to get some advice about this magnificent piece of art from the more seasoned 4Runner enthusiasts. Please tell me all the do's and dont's you could think of. What to expect from the dealership and is there any advice you could give me that will help smooth out the dealership transaction? Because I know that most dealerships try to screw you over and I guess I wanted to hear about the experiences of those who wish to do things differently with the dealership next time around. " PS* I will pay cash for it so there will be no dealings with banks. I'm selling my car and adding some more on top to get it. "

Also, I'd like to have a guard grill installed after purchasing it and what do you think is the best way to go about that? Should I just have the dealership do all the work or is there a shop that specializes in modifying 4Runners around NY? What do you think?

Thank you all in advance for your help and time

Contact the internet dept. Tell them you would like below or at invoice pricing. I did this last week and was told they could do that w/o any haggling. Maybe don't tell them up front you are paying cash as they may fear they are losing out on making money off of financing.

and make sure paying cash is the best way to go. Interest rates are so low right now that you don't have to be a partucularly savy investor to get a return on your money that is better than the rates you would pay Toyota Financial. And leasing can be a smart option too, with very little out of pocket.
